Location

o 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°

o 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

Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 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.

- 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.)

o 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.

Size AA

Dry Batteries

Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first

Inserting the batteries

Pull up

o 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 battery O/O terminals with the O/O marks inside the compartment..

Battery Cover

Antennas

o 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)

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 300175-ohm ADAPTOR (not supplied)

• Refer to one of the following two diagrams when connecting to an outdoor antenna, A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenn&

B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.

o Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT/CABLE terminal on the rear of the TV set,

o 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.

o Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels'L 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 converteddescrambler 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 converted

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not

tighten F-type connector with tools.

If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set
