INSTALLATION

Installation

Television Location

Follow these recommendations before deciding the location of your television.

Avoid excessive sunlight or bright lights, including reflections. Keep away from excessive heat or moisture. Inadequate ventilation may cause internal component failure. Fluorescent lighting may reduce remote control transmitting range. Keep away from magnetic equipment, including motors, fans and external speakers.

WARNING: Use this television receiver only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the Cart / apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. In order to avoid injury to children, never place your television receiver on a piece of furniture that is capable of being tilted by a child leaning on it, pulling on it, standing o it, or climbing on it. A falling television can cause serious injury or even death.

Remote Control Battery Installation

Procedure

1. Turn the remote control face down. Remove battery cover by pressing down on the marking on the cover and sliding it off in the direction indicated.

2. Install batteries matching(+) and(-) polarity signs.

3. Replace the battery cover by sliding in reverse until the lock snaps. Note: Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that will damage the Remote control. Precautions Replace batteries in pair. Do not mix battery types(zinc carbon with alkaline). Do not recharge, heat, short-circuit, disassemble, or burn batteries.

POWER SOURCE

TO USE AC POWER SOURCE

Use the AC /DV adaptor provided for operation on AC. Insert the AC cord plug into a standard 110-120V 60HZ polarized AC outlet.

AC outlet Wider Hole and Blade

Requires two AAA batteries(supplied).

Polarized AC Cord Plug (One blade is wider than the other)

To use Car cord Use the Car Cord provided for operation on 12V DC.

NOTE:

1.AC/ DC adaptor provided can be connected to the specified voltage (AC 110 volts 60HZ).

2.If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a nonpolarized AC outlet, do not attempt to file or cut

the blade. It is the user s responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.

3.If you cause a static discharge when touching the unit, and the unit fails to function, simply unplug the unit from the AC outlet, wait a few minutes, and plug it back in. The unit should return to normal operation.

INSTALLATION

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)

Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF antenna to the antenna jack.

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF and UHF 300 ohm twin-lead)

Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (not supplied). Connect the VHF twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not supplied). Attach the transformer to the combiner. Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.

Separate VHF/UHF Antenna

Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the UHF antenna twin-lead to a combiner (not supplied). Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.

NOTE: If your VHF antenna has a twin-lead wire, use the 300-75 ohm matching transformer( not supplied), then connect the transformer to the combiner.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/ descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the antenna jack on the back of the television.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV service

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the converter/descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the antenna jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown left. Set the television to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter / descrambler box to select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter ( sometimes called a two-set coupler )and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown left. With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the A position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.

This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter box. Some cable companies offer premium pay channels in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.
