GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS EXPLANATION

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN.

CAUTION : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK) NO PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (Servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Caution

Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

ANTENNA

Unless your TV is connected to a Cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for the best performance. However, if you are located in a strong signal area that is free from interference and ghost conditions (multipath), an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen.

Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set.

NOTES

Never remove the back cover of the set. This can expose you to very high voltage and other hazards. If the set does not operate properly, unplug it and call your dealer or service shop.

VIEWING

This color TV may be viewed from any desired distance. Most viewers prefer a distance of three to six feet or more depending on screen size for maximum eye comfort.

Point to remote control sensor of the TV set. The maximum operable distance is approximately 20 feet from the remote control sensor, and not more than 30

to either side of center. The operation of the remote control is most effective when there is nothing between it and the remote control sensor. The duration of the batteries is approximately 6 months to 1 year. Replace the batteries when the remote operation becomes unstable.

BATTERY INST ALLATION

Slide down the cover. Press the indentation and lift up the cover. Correctly install the batteries, observing polarities as shown in the compartment. Do not use a combination of old and new batteries or different type of batteries. If batteries become exhausted, remove and replace them soon. When battery leakage occurs, clean the battery compartment with a soft cloth and replace the batteries.

CABLE TV (CA TV) 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 75-ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR. 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. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, as typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.)

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied)

You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV's channel keys.

"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied)

You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler using the converter's channel keys.

NOTE : An RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

ANTENNA CONNECTION

ANTENNA

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:

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna. A : Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna. B : Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna. Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear of the TV set.

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.

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 ADAPTOR.

Prior to making any connections to your TV set, be sure to turn the POWER off. For a more detailed understanding of each connection, it is recommended that you read the instruction manual for each connected component. If you use video or audio equipment placed near the TV, picture and/or sound may become distorted due to interference between these components. In such a case, separate each piece of equipment at a sufficient distance. The following shows examples for connecting external equipment. Do not connect another audio source to the same speaker to which the TV set is connected; otherwise it may damage the amplifier of the TV set or that of the other audio source.

(1) Rear Input Jacks

Use these input jacks to connect your VCR or DVD player for viewing.

1. A/V 1 IN jacks

2. S-VHS jack

To view a connected video source, press VIDEO button on the front panel or remote control.

(2) Front Input Jacks

Please use the front jacks (VIDEO 2) for a GAME-PLAYER or CAMCORDER.

To view a connected video source, press VIDEO button to set the TV to the VIDEO 2 mode.

(3) Audio System Connectors

The audio signal available at these jacks is the same as the audio source of the program being monitored on this TV screen.

1. Adjust the volume of the TV to minimum.

2. Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks on the rear of the set with the AUDIO LINE IN jacks of your audio system through an optional AUDIO/VIDEO cable.

3. Set the INPUT SELECTION switch on the AMPLIFIER/AUDIO SYSTEM into the AUX position and adjust the volume.

NOTES

You can hear the sound of TV in more vivid stereo through audio system.
