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.

INSTALLATION
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.
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.

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.
Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
1
Plug the antenna lead
into the VHF/UHF
terminal on the bottom
of the back panel.
2.3 CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
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.
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.
CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION 2.4
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.
INSTALLATION
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.
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 usu-
ally channel 3 or 4.)
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.
2.5 CHAPTER TWO: INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
3
Connect a coaxial cable
between the ANTENNA
OUT terminal on the
VCR and the antenna
terminal on the TV.
4
Connect a set of audio
cables between the
AUDIO OUT jacks on the
VCR and the AUDIO
jacks on the TV.
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.
Note: This figure shows the Standard connector-jack panel. The actual configuration for
your TV may be different.
A coaxial cable is usually included with a VCR. (If not, check your local electronics
store).
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.
