and do not place in an area with high humidity.

<Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit. <The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the main unit is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a

case, change the angle of the lighting or LCD TV set, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

Batteries for the Remote Control

Replace the cover.

Open the battery cover.

Insert two size-AA batteries.

<(Place the batteries with their terminals

corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications in the battery compartment.)

Precaution on battery use

Antenna Connection

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75- ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75ohm cable to the ANT. Terminal. Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).

Note:

Consult your Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that might be required.

ANTENNAS

The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems.

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).

2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (not supplied).
