Positioning the Appliance

1. Do not place your appliance on an unstable cart, stand, shelf or table. Serious injury to an individual, and damage to the appliance, may result if it should fall. Your salesperson can recommend approved carts and stands or shelf and wall mounting instructions. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

2. Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be covered with a cloth or other material, and the bottom openings should not be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This appliance should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

3. Do not expose the appliance to rain or use near water . . . for example, near a bathtub, swimming pool, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, etc.

Hooking Up Outdoor Antenna

LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND SET AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.

4. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides 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.

An outside antenna system should not be located 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 extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Plug in the power cord

5. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

6. Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

Cleaning

7. Before cleaning, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not apply liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners directly to the unit. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.

Service & Repair

8. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. B. If liquid has been spilled into the appliance. C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water. D. If the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. E. If the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance. F. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to normal operation.

9. Upon completion of any service or repair, request the service technician’s assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts were used, and that routine safety checks have been performed to determine that the appliance is in safe operating condition. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.

10.Never add accessories that have not been specifically designed for use with this appliance as they may cause hazards.

11.For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the set is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the set due to lightning or power line surges.

12.Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

FIRST-THINGS-FIRST (REQUIRED INITIAL SETUP)

The signal makes the difference!

INITIAL SIGNAL CONNECTIONS

Analog RF Antenna Connection

•

Connect a Cable signal (with or without a cable box) or RF antenna to the Analog RF input.

The analog tuner in this DTV receives Analog Antenna signals, Analog Cable signals, or the RF output from a VCR or cable box.

CATV FRANCHISE NOTE: Cable companies, like public utilities, are franchised by local government authorities. To receive cable programs, even with equipment which is capable of receiving cable channels, the consumer must subscribe to the cable company’s service.

 DTV will select the correct Antenna mode for the type of Analog RF

signal connected automatically.

 Use “Ana (Analog) Antenna Signal” in the Setup menu to change

the Antenna Mode.

 If you move the DTV to a new location, press the RESET key twice

after connecting the signal and turning on the DTV.

NOTES: If you do not have a VCR, connect signal directly

to the 75 ohm terminal (UHF/ VHF/ CATV). The only resolution available with any of these

connections, regardless of the original content, is standard analog.

Digital (DTV) RF Antenna Connection

•

Connect an RF antenna to the Digital Antenna In terminal.

The digital tuner in this DTV receives digital signals from an antenna. Digital signals from a Set-top Box (STB) are received through the Component In jacks.

This DTV can receive ANY resolution being broadcast. However, ALL resolutions are converted to 480i for display.

NOTES:

Channel information found during the All Channel Search is stored in the Channel Scan Memory database. After the All Channel Search is completed, the DTV will tune to the lowest Digital channel or lowest Analog channel if no digital channels are found.

If the DTV does not detect any digital or analog channels, a message advising the viewer to check the cables and antenna connections will appear. In this case, you must press the

CHANNEL UP

(

CH )

key again to repeat the channel search process. If after two searches the DTV still fails to detect any channels, the DTV will tune to analog channel 3. These two channel

searches are necessary even if you plan to use the DTV only as a monitor.

If no analog or digital channels are found after the second search, All Channel Search will default to off-air analog chan-

nels 2 through 69 and digital channel D3-1. Select analog channels using the remote control keypad. See page 12, item number 2.

ANA (Analog) ANTENNA SIGNAL (Optional)

To change the initial ANALOG tuning system setup (from antenna to cable or cable to antenna, use the on-screen menu. See “Ana (Analog) Antenna Signal” on page 16.

INSTALL TWO “AAA” BATTERIES

IMPORTANT NOTE: Spent or discharged batteries must be recycled or disposed properly in compliance with all applicable laws. For detailed information, contact your local County Solid Waste Authority.

•

Install two “AAA” Batteries (not included) so that the “+” and “–” marks on the batteries match the “+” and “–” marks inside the Remote.

To review the Remote functions, go to pages 12 ~ 13.

NOTE: Use two “AAA”

Alkaline batteries.

 Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for a

month or more. Weak batteries may leak and cause damage. (Normal battery life is roughly six months.)

 If batteries have leaked in the Remote Control Unit, carefully wipe

the case clean and load new batteries.

ALL CHANNEL SEARCH

When the television is powered on for the first time, it automatically checks for the presence of an RF signal.

•

Press the POWER key to turn on the DTV.

•

Then press the CHANNEL UP (CH  ) key to automatically search for available channels: Digital (ATSC) and Analog (NTSC).

The All Channel Search contains two processes that are executed simultaneously for digital and analog channels. The Search will take a few minutes to complete.

Closed-Captioning is hidden textual information transmitted along with the picture and sound. Turning Captioning ON causes the DTV to open these captions and superimpose them on the screen. Because different types of closed-captions can be transmitted with the picture and sound, separate captioning modes are provided. The captioning modes recognized by this model are: Analog EIA-608B and Digital EIA-708B. Local broadcasters decide which caption signals to transmit.
