Important Safety Information

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and maintaining your machine.Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the TV receiver.

Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.

Heed all warnings on the TV receiver and in the operating instructions.

Follow all operating instructions.

Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning, Use a damp cloth, Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions may cause risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.

Do not use the TV receiver where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.

Do not place the TV receiver on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV receiver may fall, causing injury to people and/or damage to the TV. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table not recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the TV receiver.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the TV receiver and its cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart to overturn.

Provide ventilation for the TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating.

Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.

Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.

Operate your TV receiver only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a polarized alternat- ing-current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cord placement at plugs, convenience receptacles,

and at the point where they exit from the unit.

Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.

An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. Avoid overhead power lines: When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines might be fatal. Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

Do not insert foreign objects through openings in the unit, as they may touch dangerous voltages or cause damage. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV receiver.

Plug the antenna lead into the VHF/UHF

terminal on the bottom of the back panel.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).

1

Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.

2

Plug the combiner into the VHF/UHF terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

1

Find the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA OUT terminal on your cable box.

2

Connect the other end of this cable to the VHF/UHF antenna

terminal on the back of the TV.

This terminal might be labeled

“ANT OUT,” “VHF OUT,” or simply, “OUT.”

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels

If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

1

Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the ANTENNA IN terminal on your

cable box.

This terminal might be labeled

“ANT IN,” “VHF IN,” or simply, “IN.”

2

Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.

3

Connect a coaxial cable between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.

4

Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal on the cable box and the B–IN terminal on the A/B switch.

5

Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.

6

Connect the last coaxial cable between the OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and the VHF/UHF terminal on the rear of the TV.

After you’ve made this connection, set the A/B switch to the “A” position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the “B” position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to “B,” you will need to tune your TV to the cable box’s output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

Connecting a VCR

These instructions assume that you have already connected your TV to an antenna or a cable TV system (according to the instructions on pages 2.1-2.3). Skip step 1 if you have not yet connected to an antenna or a cable system.

1

Unplug the cable or antenna from the back of the TV.

2

Connect the cable or antenna to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the back of the VCR.

3

Connect a coaxial cable between the ANTENNA OUT terminal on the VCR and the antenna terminal on the TV.

A coaxial cable is usually included with a VCR. (If not, check your local electronics store).

4

Connect a set of audio cables between the AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR and the AUDIO jacks on the TV.

If you have a “mono” (non-stereo) VCR, use the Y-connector (not supplied) to hook up to the left and right audio input jacks of the TV. If your VCR is stereo, you must connect two cables.

5

Connect a video cable between the VIDEO OUT jack on the VCR and the VIDEO jack on the TV.

Follow the instructions in “Viewing a VCR or Camcorder Tape” to view your VCR tape.
