Important safeguards
11. Power source
This TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. 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 at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Outdoor antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA NO.70, 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 conductors, location of antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
14. Lightning
For added Protection for this TV receiver during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the TV due to lighting and power line surges.
15. Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. Object and liquid entry
Never push objects of any kind into this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind into the TV.
18. Servicing
do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. Damage requiring service
Unplug this TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV.
c. If the TV ha been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV does not operate normally be following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are coved by the
operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to its normal operation.
e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by us that have the
same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other
hazards.
21. Safety check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine
that the TV is in proper operating condition.
22. Heat
This TV product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiation, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.

Connecting the aerial
To enjoy the terrestrial signal transmitted by your local TV station, you need an indoor or outdoor aerial (not supplied).
Perfect picture quality requires a good signal and generally means that an outdoor aerial must be implemented. The
exact type and location of the aerial will depend on your particular area. Consult your local dealer or service
personnel for best advice. If you are a subscriber of your local CATV net, the outdoor or indoor aerial is not needed.
Connect the equipments as the following figure.

Connecting your TV
Connecting a cable converter box
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a cable
company supplied converter box. Some cable companies offer premium pay channels in which signal is
scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which
is generally provided by the cable company.
For subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial
Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television.
For subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the
incoming cable to the Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna Jack
on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown below. Set the television to the output of the
Converter/Descrambler box(usually channel 3 or 4)and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select
channels.
For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels
require the use of a Converter/Descrambled box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter(sometimes
called[two set coupler) and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store.
Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune any
nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the A position, tune your TV to the output of the
Converter/Descrambler box(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
Note:
When you use a converter box with your TV, there may be features that you cannot
program using the remote control.
