6. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.

7. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to insure reliable operation of the television equipment and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. This television equipment should not be placed in a built-in insulation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

8. The openings should never be covered with a cloth or other material, and the bottom openings should not be blocked by placing the television equipment on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This television equipment should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

9. This television equipment 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 supplied to your home, consult your television dealer or local power company. For television equipment designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions. If the plug does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not modify the plug and defeat this safety feature.

10. 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.

11. As a safety feature, television equipment is equipped with a 2-wire polarized plug (one plug blade bigger than the other.) The 2-wire polarized plug will fit only one way into the power outlet.

If the plug does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not modify the plug and defeat this safety feature.

02-08 26SL72/29SL82[E].p6.5e 4/25/01, 11:50 AM4

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 the TV set.

Power

Y our TV operates on 120 V olts , 60 Hz (29SL82M)/110-220 V olts, 50/60 Hz (26SL72/29SL82) (normal household current).

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 interference from the TV.

L Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Insert the batteries

• With your thumb nail, 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.

Pull up

Battery Cover

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:

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

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

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 (not supplied).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

Antenna Connections (Continued)

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.

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 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. (Place 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
