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 tele vision set in a place where free airflo w will be restricted.

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

Power

Your TV operates on 120 V olts, 60 Hz (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 is not going to 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 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.

Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

•

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Inserting the batteries

Pull up

Battery Cover

• With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the battery cover . Insert two batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the batter y m/, ter minals with the m/, 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:

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable 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 that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm ADAPT OR (not supplied).

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

• Refer to one of the following two diagrams when connecting to 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 ANT/CABLE terminal 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 conv erter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV compan y. This conv erter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set y our 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.

Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation)

H V-CHIP

• This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may be harmful.

• Restriction of TV prog rams includes two characters that contain information about the program’ s MPAA rating and the TV P arental Guidelines. MPAA is restricted by age. TV P arental Guidelines are restricted by age and contents.

• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for complete control.

ClearVs (block) from each "AGE" box for all ratings. This will automatically unblock everything.

Example 1.2 : Age Based setting

For “TV-G” put a V in the "AGE" box. This will automatically block the higher age ratings “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”. Please note the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V” are automatically block ed as well.

Example 2.1 : Content Based setting

If you choose to unblock ever y content-based items (“D”, “L”, “S”, “V”), clear the V (block) from each “AGE” box of “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TVMA”.

Example 2.2 : Content Based setting

Put a V in the box corresponding to “TV-PG” (row) and “V (Violence)” (column). This will automatically block the “V” boxes for “TV-14” and “TV-MA”. Setting only “TV-PG-V”, “TV-14-V” or “TV-MA-V” will not block all programs rated “TV-PG”, “TV-14” or “TV-MA”.

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

• All VCR buttons will operate whether the Remote is in TV or VCR modes.

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