The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution
that contributes to global warming. If every American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY
STAR® models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by five million tons every year — equivalent to
eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars.

By using ENERGY STAR® products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. That
makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read before operating equipment.

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety
standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions
which you should be particularly aware of.

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read

before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be

retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instruc-

tions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for

example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, etc.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand

that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

6B. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended international

global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet design.

• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull
force to the front, or top, of the cabinet, which could ultimately overturn the
product.

• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equip­ment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall
from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or

ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position

does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance
should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block
the ventilation openings, or placed in a built-in installation, such as a book­case or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation open­ings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.

10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply

only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the
appliance.

11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they

are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience recepta­cles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the

manufacturer.

13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power

lines.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the

receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.

pres page 5.5x8.5/JM3 4/26/00 8:38 AM Page 4

Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure
grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding connectors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connec­tion to grounding electrodes and
requirements for the grounding
electrode. See illustration at right.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged

from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall

and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified

service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked

change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure has been damaged.

18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond

that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be
referred to qualified service personnel.

19. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the

service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
which have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized sub­stitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,

ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.

22. Grounding or Polarization - Your TV operates on 120V/60Hz and has a

polarized, alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safe­ty feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

23. Lightning - For added protection of this product during a lightning storm, or

when it is left unattended and unused for a long time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the product due to lightning and power line surges.

24. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the video

product manufacturer. They may be hazardous.

Note to the Cable TV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the Cable
TV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guide­lines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.

WARNING - FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this

equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority
to operate this equipment.

Location

• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys
using magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from this TV set.

NOTE:

• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located
near the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn
off either the TV or the radio.

• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received
due to the interference of the TV.

L Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Insert the batteries

• With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the back cover. Insert two
batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery e/d terminals with the e/d marks inside the
compartment.

Antenna Connections

Antennas

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for
black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly
recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various
antenna systems:

1. A 75 ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector
that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not
supplied). The F-type connector should be finger tightened

only.

2. A 300 ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be attached
to a 75 ohm terminal through a 300-75 ohm ADAPTOR (not
supplied).

• Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber
by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled
channels. (Set your TV on channel 3 or 4. Typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown,
consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your
cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your
cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

L SmartLockTM V-CHIP

• This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on
FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may
be harmful.

• Restriction of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program’s MPAA
rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. MPAA is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted
by age and contents.

• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for
complete control.

Operation of Remote Control

L Universal Remote Control

With the purchase of your television set you
also have received the latest innovation in
remote control technology. With its easy-to­use push-button keypad, your Remote can
control your television set and most infrared
remote-controlled VCRs and cable TV
converters as well.

NOTE:

• Depending on the model, year produced,
brand and type of VCR, some models may
not be compatible with the remote control.

• Some brands of VCR or Cable TV converter
Box may not enable channel selection until

“100” (ENTER) button is pressed.

Example:

When you select channel 24,
(1) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “2”.
(2) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “4”.

(3) Press “100” button.

For detailed information on the use of the VCR
or Cable TV converter Box refer to their
operating manuals.

L Using Your Remote With Your TV

After installing the batteries, set the

TV-CATV

on the remote to the TV position. (If you can
change the channel of the TV by pressing

CH UP

(8) or

DOWN

(9) on the Remote

Control, it is in the TV position.)

L “Identifying” Remote VCR and Cable TV

Converters

Your Remote Control has been set at the
factory to operate your TV and many remote
control VCRs and Cable Converters. However,
in some cases an easy one-time set-up step
may be necessary before the Remote will
operate accessory VCRs and Cable
Converters.

• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and
memorizes the remote control transmitter code
for the VCR or Cable Converter.

• Once “identified”, the Remote sends the proper
remote signals to operate your accessory.

• This identify step will not have to be repeated
until power to the Remote is interrupted due
to a battery failure.

L Using Your Remote Control With a VCR

Once you make certain the Remote Control
has “identified” your remote controlled VCR,
the Remote Control is ready to operate your
unit. The various VCR function buttons on the
Remote Control will not operate your VCR
if those features are not already found on
your unit.

• All VCR buttons will operate whether the
Remote Control is in TV or CATV modes.

• For detailed information on the use of the VCR,
refer to the operation manual of the VCR.
