Important Safety Information

Always be careful when using your TV receivel: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other

ID 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 similur 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 polurized
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. Ifanoutsideantennaorcable
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.

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.

INSTALLATION

Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads

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).

Connecting Cable TV

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

Cable without a Cable Box

41 Because this TV is

2.2

cable-ready, you do not need a
cable box to view unscrambled

I INSTALLATION I

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels

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.)

41 This terminal might be labeled
