Important Safety Information

Always be careful when using your TV receiver. 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 your TV.

• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.

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

• Follow all operating and use 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 can increase the 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 on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table where it can fall. A falling TV can cause serious injury to a
child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manu­facturer or sold with the TV. Follow the manufacturer’s instruc­tions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory rec­ommended by the manufacturer. Move the TV and cart with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the
unit and cart unsteady and likely 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
alternating 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 won’t be walked
on or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

• Unplug the TV 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.

• Avoid overhead power lines. 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. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to
keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.

• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric
shock.

• Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous
voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.

• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information
about 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.

• Do not attempt to service the TV yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:

- when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged

- if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit

- if the TV has been exposed to rain or water

- if the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions

- if the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged

- when the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance

• If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operat­ing instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require exten­sive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to normal.

• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.

• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in a safe operating condition.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.

This television receiver provides display of television closed captioning in accordance
with §15.119 of the FCC rules.

2.1 CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas

If your antenna has a set of leads that
look like this, see “Antennas with
300-ohm Flat Twin Leads,” below.

If your antenna has one lead that looks
like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm
Round Leads,” on page 2.2.

If you have two antennas, see “Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas,” on page 2.2.

Antennas with 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has
300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.

Chapter Two

INSTALLATION

1

Place the wires from the
twin leads under the
screws on the 300-75
ohm adaptor (not sup­plied). Use a screwdriver
to tighten the screws.

2

Plug the adaptor into
the VHF/UHF terminal
on the bottom of the
back panel.

2

Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads

1

Plug the antenna lead
into the VHF/UHF
terminal on the bottom
of the back panel.

CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION 2.2

Connecting Cable TV

To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Cable without a Cable Box

▼

1

Plug the incoming cable
into the VHF/UHF
antenna terminal on back
of the TV.

Because this TV is cable-ready,
you do not need a cable box to view
unscrambled cable channels.

2

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

INSTALLATION

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 a an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).

1

Connect both antenna
leads to the combiner.

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.

This terminal might be labeled
“ANT OUT,” “VHF OUT,”or simply,
“OUT.”

2

Connect the other end
of this cable to the
VHF/UHF antenna
terminal on the back of
the TV.

2.3 CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

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.

continued...

CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION 2.4

INSTALLATION

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 Second VCR to Record from
the TV

Your TV can send out signals of its picture and sound to be recorded by a second
VCR.

To do this, connect your second VCR as follows:

1

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).

2

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

(The VCR input jacks might be either on the front or on back of the VCR.)
If you have a mono VCR, connect L(mono) to VCR audio out using only one audio cable.
Refer to your VCR’s instructions for more information about how to record using this kind of connection.

2.5 CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

1

Locate the A/V output jacks on the camcorder. They are usually found on the side or rear of the camcorder.

2

Connect an video/audio cable between the VIDEO/AUDIO OUTPUT jack on the camcorder and the
VIDEO/AUDIO terminals on the front of the TV.

If you have mono camcorder, connect L(mono) to camcorder audio out using only one audio cable.
The audio-video cables shown here are usually included with a Camcorder. (If not, check your local electron­ics store.) If your camcorder is stereo, you need to connect a set of two cables.

Connecting a Camcorder

The front panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a camcorder to your TV.
They allow you to view the camcorder tapes without using a VCR. (Also see “Viewing a VCR
or Camcorder Tape” on page 3.17)

CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION 2.6

27, press “2,” then “7.” The TV
will change channels when
you press the second number.

Press the PRE.CH button.
The TV will switch to the last
channel viewed.

When you press the CH or CH
buttons, the TV changes channels in
sequence. You will see all the channels
that the TV has memorized. (The TV
must have memorized at least three
channels.) You will not see channels that
were either erased or not memorized.

To quickly switch between two chan­nels that are far apart, tune to one chan­nel, then use the number button to select
the second channel. Then, use the Pre­CH button to quickly alternate between
them.

When you use the number buttons, you can directly select channels that were either erased or
not memorized.

To select a channel over 100, press the +100 button. (For channel 122, press “+100,” then “2,”
then “2.”)

To change to single-digit channels (0–9) faster, press “0” before the
single digit. (For channel “4,” press “0,” then “4.”)
