protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the

lead-in wire to an antenna discharge product, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge product, connection togrounding electrodes, and requirements for grounding electrodes.

18. SERVICING Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,

the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

19. REPLACEMENT PARTS When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the

This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some Cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the 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 SUBSCRmBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable service not requiring a converter!descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the

FOR SUBSCRmBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELUTE

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/

descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box_ Using another 75 ohm cable, connect the output of the converteridescrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack

on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TViVCR to the output channel of the converteridescrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the converteridescrambler or satellite box to select channels.

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and

premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the cable company or an electronic 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
