12. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this television equipment where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (Continued)

13. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television equipment.

14. If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 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.

NEC—NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

15. For added protection for this tele vision equipment during a lightning storm, or when it 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 equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. 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 po wer lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

17. Do not overload wall outlets and e xtension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.

18. Never push objects of any kind into this television equipment through cabinet slots 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 television equipment.

19. Do not attempt to service this television equipment yourself as opening or removing cov ers may e xpose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20. Unplug this television equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified ser vice personnel under the following conditions: A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. B. If liquid has been spilled into the television equipment. C. If the television equipment has been exposed to rain or water. D. If the television equipment does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust

only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the television equipment to normal operation. E. If the television equipment has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. F. When the television equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for

service.

21. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this television equipment, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition.

22. When replacement par ts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Before Operating Your Television

Location

• For normal operation, your TV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.

• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys using magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from this TV set.

Power

Y our TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hertz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it fail to fit, contact an electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.

Note:

• If the set will not be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the wall outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)

• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn off either the TV or the radio.

• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received due to the interference of the TV.

L Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Insert the batteries

Pull up

Battery Cover

• With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the back cover. Insert two batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery e/d terminals with the e/d marks inside the compartment.

Antenna Connections

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:

Antenna Connections (Continued)

1. A 75 ohm system is generally a round cable

F-type connector

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

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

that can be attached to a 75 ohm terminal through a 300-75 ohm ADAPTOR (not supplied).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

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.

• 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 on channel 3 or 4. Typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) 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: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

“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/

• TV-PARENTAL GUIDELINES (Example)

Example 1.1 : Age Based setting

Go through all select ratings and select unblocked for “AGE”. This will automatically unblock everything.

Example 1.2 : Age Based setting

For “TV-G” select “BLOCK” for “AGE”. This will automatically block the higher age ratings “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”. Furthermore, the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” are automatically blocked as well for “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.

Example 2.1 : Content Based setting

For “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” select unblocked for each content ratings (“D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV”) by leaving “AGE” unblocked for “TVPG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA”. If you choose to unblock for each one in content base.

Example 2.2 : Content Based setting

Then for “TV-PG” and select “BLOCK” for only “V” (Violence). This will automatically block the higher ratings “TV-14-V” and “TV-MA-V” (“TV14” and “TV-MA” for Violence content only). Please note that with these settings blocking does NOT occur. If a program is rated only “TV-MA”; it must be rated “TV-MA-V” to be blocked.

Example 3 : Reset an Age Based setting

For “TV-14” and select again “BLOCK” for “AGE”. This will again automatically block the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” for “TV-MA” as well as “TV-14”. Please note that the lower age rating “TV-PG” did not change from its previous settings.

Note:

• Content ratings can be modified but only in the combinations indicated by an V in the table on page

16.

• Changing a lower age rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes the same higher age rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.

• Changing a lower rating’s “AGE” setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes all higher ratings to “BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.

• Any rating’s “AGE” set to unblocked must have its content settings individually set.

L “ Identifying” Remote VCRs, cable TV

conveters and DVDs

Your Remote Control has been set at the factory to operate your TV and many remote control VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs. However, in some cases an easy one-time setup step may be necessary before the Remote will operate accessory VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs.

• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and memorizes the remote control transmitter code for the VCR, cable TV converters and DVDs.

• Once “identified”, the Remote sends the proper remote signals to operate your accessory.

• This identify step will not have to be repeated until power to the Remote is interrupted due to a battery failure.

L USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL WITH A

VCR AND DVD

Once you make certain the Remote Control has “identified” your remote controlled VCR or DVD, the Remote Control is ready to operate your unit. The various VCR or DVD function buttons on the Remote Control will not operate your VCR or DVD if those features are not already found on your unit.

• For detailed information on the use of the VCR or DVD, refer to the operation manual of the VCR or DVD.

TIPS ON IDENTIFYING YOUR VCR:

If your VCR model does not have the CHANNEL UP function on its remote control, it cannot be identified using the SEARCH method of identifying. For such models, please try the DIRECT ENTRY method of identifying. Be Patient: a minute or two can seem a lot longer when you’re waiting for something to happen, but the code should be identified within 2 minutes. Remember, it is only a one-time set-up. Be careful not to let the VCR scan more than five channels when the indicator starts to move up. If you continue holding down the

UP (8)

after five channel scans, the proper remote

and

code can be passed up, and the two minutes identify cycle will have to be repeated. If a channel change does not occur on the VCR within two minutes, read the identifying instructions again and repeat the steps. Should a channel change still not occur the remote will not operate with the desired VCR.

Si el enchufe no entra en el tomacorriente, pídale a un electricista que le coloque un tomacorriente nuev o . No modifique el enchufe porque anulará esta característica de seguridad.

12. No permita que se apoye nada sobre el cable de alimentación. No ponga este televisor donde el cable pueda ser deformado por personas que caminen sobre él.

Lea por favor todas estas instrucciones antes de poner en funcionamiento

MEDIDAS DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES

13. Cumpla con todos los avisos y las instrucciones marcados en el televisor.

14. Si se conecta una antena exterior al televisor , asegúrese de que el sistema de antena esté conectado a tierra para obtener cierta protección ante los aumentos de voltaje y la acumulación de cargas estáticas. La sección 810 del Código Eléctrico Nacional ofrece información relacionada con la conexión a tierra correcta del poste y la estructura de apoyo, la conexión a tierra del cable de entrada a una unidad de descarga, el tamaño de los conductores de conexión a tierra, la ubicación de la unidad de descarga de antena, la conexión a los electrodos de conexión a tierra, y los requisitos para el electrodo de cone xión a tierra.

15. Para proteger aún más este televisor durante tormentas eléctr icas o cuando se deje sin atender y sin utilizar durante largos periodos de tiempo, desenchufe el cable de alimentación del tomacorriente y desconecte la antena. Esto evitará que el aparato pueda estropearse debido a los relámpagos y la sobretensión en la línea de alimentación.

16. Un sistema de antena exterior no debe ubicarse cerca de líneas de alimentación elevadas, ni cerca de luces eléctricas o circuitos de alimentación. Tampoco debe ubicarse donde pueda caer sobre tales líneas o circuitos de alimentación. Cuando instale un sistema de antena exterior, tenga muchísimo cuidado para no tocar las líneas o circuitos de alimentación porque el contacto podría causar un accidente mortal.

17. No sobrecargue los tomacorrientes ni los cables de extensión porque esto podría causar un incendio o descarga eléctrica.

18. No meta nunca ningún objeto en el interior del televisor porque podría tocar piezas con alta tensión o causar un cortocircuito con otras piezas causando un incendio o descarga eléctrica. No derrame nunca ningún tipo de líquido sobre el televisor .

19. No trate de reparar el televisor usted mismo porque al abrir o quitar las tapas podría exponerse a una descarga de tensión u otros peligros. Las reparaciones debe realizarlas el personal de servicio CALIFICADO.

20. Desenchufe este televisor del tomacorriente y solicite el servicio de un técnico calificado cuando se produzcan las condiciones siguientes:

A. Cuando el cable de la alimentación o el enchufe estén estropeados. B. Cuando haya derramado un líquido sobre el televisor. C. Si el televisor ha quedado expuesto a la lluvia o al agua. D. Si el televisor no funciona normalmente siguiendo las instrucciones de utilización. Ajuste solamente

los controles indicados en las instrucciones de utilización. Un ajuste inadecuado de otros controles podría estropear el aparato y , entonces , sería necesario acudir a un técnico CALIFICADO para que

éste lo repare y lo devuelva a su condición normal. E. Si el televisor se ha caído o la caja se ha estropeado. F. Cuando las prestaciones del televisor cambien considerablemente será necesario llamar al servicio

de reparaciones.

21. Al finalizar cualquier servicio o reparación de este televisor, pida al técnico de servicio que realice comprobaciones de seguridad rutinarias para determinar si el televisor puede funcionar sin causar ningún problema.

22. Cuando sea necesario cambiar piezas, cerciórese de que el técnico de servicio utiliza las piezas de CAMBIO especificadas por el fabricante, aquellas que tengan las mismas características que las piezas originales. Las piezas de recambio no autorizadas pueden causar incendios, descargas eléctricas u otros peligros.

15. Pour tout ajout de protection à votre télévision en cas de f oudre ou lorsque elle reste en v eille et inutilisée pendant de longues périodes, débranchez-la et déconnectez l’antenne. V ous éviterez ainsi des dommages à votre équipement suite à la foudre et des poussées de tension.

16. Un système d’antenne extérieure ne doit pas être situé à proximité de lignes aériennes ou d’autres groupes électrogènes ou circuits électriques ou dans des emplacements où l’antenne pourrait tomber sur ce type de lignes ou circuits. Lors de l’installation d’un système d’antenne e xtérieure, f aites e xtrêmement attention à ne pas entrer en contact avec ces lignes ou circuits, car cela pourrait vous être fatal.

17. Ne surchargez pas les prises et les prolongateurs de ligne afin d’éviter tout risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution.

18. N’introduisez jamais d’objets à travers les f entes du châssis, car ils pourraient entrer en contact a vec des points de tension dangereux ou des pièces court-circuitées et provoquer ainsi un incendie ou une électrocution. Ne répandez jamais de liquides sur la télévision.

19. N’essayez pas de réparer vous-même votre télévision. L’ouver ture ou le retrait des capots peut vous exposer à une tension dangereuse ou à d’autres risques. Confiez toutes les opérations de maintenance à un personnel qualifié.

20. Lorsque vous êtes confronté aux situations suivantes, débranchez la télévision et confiez toutes les opérations de maintenance à un personnel qualifié :

A. lorsque le cordon d’alimentation ou la fiche est endommagé ou effiloché ; B. si du liquide a été répandu sur/dans la télévision ; C. si la télévision a été exposée à la pluie ou à l’eau ; D. si la télévision ne fonctionne pas normalement même en respectant le mode d’emploi. Réglez

uniquement les commandes abordées par le mode d’emploi. Des réglages inappropriés d’autres commandes peuvent occasionner des dommages et nécessiteront ensuite, dans la plupart des cas, une intervention plus importante d’un technicien qualifié pour que la télévision fonctionne

normalement ; E. si la télévision a été renversée ou que le châssis est endommagé ; F. lorsque la télévision présente une altération visible des performances — cela indique un besoin de

maintenance.

21. Pour toute maintenance ou réparation de la télévision, demandez au technicien de réaliser des contrôles de sécurité classiques afin de déterminer si la télévision est en bon état de marche.
