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 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
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 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.
• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the TV receiver, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Read 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.
• Do not attempt to service the TV receiver 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 TV
- If the TV receiver has been exposed to rain or water
- If the TV receiver does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
- If the TV receiver has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
- When the TV receiver exhibits a distinct degradation 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 receiver 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 receiver, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the TV receiver is in a safe operating condition.

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.
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

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

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.
2
Connect this cable to a
two-way splitter.
3
Connect a coaxial cable
between an OUTPUT terminal on the splitter and
the INterminal on the
cable box.
This terminal might be labeled
“ANT IN”, “VHF IN” or simply,
“IN”.

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.
