IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
• If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as 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 to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the
N or added protection for this television equipment during a
equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.
• An outside antenna system should not be located in the . _ _.--_IL--_

• 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 ANT. terminal.
• Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambier 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 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: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).
"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels by using the
TV's channel keys.
"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/
descrambler by using the converter's channel keys.

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 F4ype
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 fiat "twin-lead" cable that can be
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm
adapter (not supplied).
