IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important to consumers both in the US and in Canada. ENERGY
STAR is a US registered trademark to indicate that a product meets its guidelines for energy ef ficiency.

WHAT IS ENERGY STAR

TVs and VCRs use energy both when they are on and when they are off. North Americans spend more
than $1 billion a year on energy consumed by TVs and VCRs when they are not in use. The new ENERGY
STAR® models will reduce that energy “leakage” by up to 75 percent. Ultimately , this will mean more than
$500 million a year in energy savings for consumers.

The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution
that contributes to global warming. If every North American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with
ENERGY STAR® models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by five million tons every year —
equivalent to eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars.

By using ENERGY ST AR® products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. That
makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.

WARNING:

®

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO WET LOCATIONS.

Before Operating Y our T elevision

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

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.

CAUTION:
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MA TCH WIDE BLADE OF
PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULL Y INSERT.

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.

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).

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).

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. (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

“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/

L HOW TO SET CLOSED CAPTION

• Y our TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder . “Closed
Caption” is a system which allows you to view conversations, narration,
and sound effects in TV programs and home videos as subscript on
your TV screen as shown on the right.

• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed caption. Please look
for the “ ” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

• Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION
and TEXT . For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2:

The [CAPTION] mode subscripts dialogues and commentaries of TV
dramas and news programs while allowing clear view of the picture.
The [TEXT] mode displays over the picture other various information
(such as TV program schedule, weather forecast, etc.) that is
independent of the TV programs.

Energy Save

L This feature lets you lower the power consumption of your TV

set which in turn saves you money and minimizes the impact on
the environment. When this feature is turned on, it reduces the
brightness of the TV to a level that consumes approximately 20
percent less energy than when the feature is turned off.
The reduction in brightness will be less noticeable under low
room lighting conditions.
