IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

• Ifanoutside antenna is connectedtothe television equipment, be sure the antenna system is groundedsoas

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 toanantenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Preparation

Before using the

LCDTVset for the first time, install the two "AAA" size batteries suppliedinthe remote control. When the

batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new "AAA" size batteries.

1 Open the battery cover. 2 Insert two "AAA" size batteries. 3 Close the battery cover.

• Slide the cover while
pressing the

(.)

part.

• Place batteries with their
terminals corresponding
to

the (+) and

(-)
indicationsinthe battery
compartment.

• Engaging the lower
claw with the remote
control, close the

cover.

Precautions regarding batteries

• Improper use of batteries can resultina leakage of chemicals and/or explosion.Besuretofollow the instructions below.
Place batteries with their terminals corresponding

to

the (+) and

(-)

indications.
Different types of batteries have different characteristics.Donot mix batteries of different types.
Do

not mix old and new batteries. Mixing

old

and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old

batteriestoleak chemicals.

Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical

leakage

is

found, wipe it off with a cloth.

The batteries supplied with the LCD TV set may have a shorter operating time duetostorage conditions.

If the remote controlisnot tobeused for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

•

Do

not install or place the remote controlindirect sunlight. The

heat may cause deformation of the unit.

• The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor
window is

in

direct sunlight or strong lighting.Insuch a case,
change the angle of the lighting or main unit, or operate the
remote control closer

to

the remote sensor window.

• Use the remote control

by

pointing it towards the remote sensor
window of the main unit. Objects between the remote control and
sensor window may prevent proper operation.

Preparation (Continued)

-

• 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 adapter (not supplied).

Preparation (Continued)

CABLETV(CATV) CONNECTION

• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connectorisbuilt into the LCD TV set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm
coaxial cable to the LCD TV set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. terminal.

• 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 to channel 3

or

4,

typically one of these channelsisused.Ifthisisunknown, 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:

AnRFswitch provided with two inputs(AandB)is

required (not supplied).

"A" position

on

theRFswitch (not supplied):

You

can view all unscrambled channelsbyusing the TV's channel keys.

"B" position

You

can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler by

V-CHIP Settings

• V-CHIP

• This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled basedonFCC data.Itprevents children from watching
violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.

• Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of
America) rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and
content.

• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete control.
