Do not cover the ventilation holes at the back of the TV set, this can cause fire or other serious problems. Leave an adequate open space behind the TV set for good ventilation.

Do not place this set in confined spaces, such as a bookshelf or built-in case.

Never remove the back of the cabinet, as there is high voltage inside the TV set.

Do not place this television equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The television equipment may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the equipment. Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the television equipment.

Antenna Connection

• The following is a brief explanation of the types of connection that are used for coaxial cables:

(1) If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable, then

the connection to the TV is via DIN45325 plug (shown at right). Plug this into the antenna jack at the rear of the TV set.

(2) If your outdoor antenna uses a 300-ohm twin-lead flat

feeder, change this for a 300-ohm to 75-ohm impedance converter and plug it into the antenna jack at the rear of the TV set.

• Rod Antenna Connection
