Important Safeguards
For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and
keep thi s manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and
instructions placed on the set, or described in the operating
instructions or service manual.
WARNING
T o guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions
should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.
Use
Pow er S our ces
This set should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the serial/model
plate. If you are not sure of the type of electrical
power supplied to your home, consult your
dealer or local power company . For those sets
designed to operate from battery power, refer
to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire
grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for
grounding).Follow the instructions below:
For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way . This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type
power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not to be
used. When the set is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet as a precaution against
the possibility of an internal malfunction that
could create a fire hazard.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the set
through the cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for
cleaning the exterior of the set. If a snapping or
popping sound from a TV set is continuous or
frequent while the TV is operating, unplug the TV
and consult your dealer or service technician. It is
normal for some TV sets to make occasional
snapping or popping sounds, particularly when
being turned on or off.
Installation
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets near
water — for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,
table or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage
to the set. Use only a cart or stand recommended
by the manufacturer for the specific model of TV.
An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the
back or bottom are provided for necessary
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it
from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked
or covered.
❑ Never cover the slots and openings with a
cloth or other materials.
❑ Never block the slots and openings by
placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface.
❑ Never place the set in a confined space, such
as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless
proper ventilation is provided.
❑ Do not place the set near or over a radiator
or heat register , or where it is exposed to
direct sunlight.
Power-Cord Protection
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the
power cord, and do not place the set where the
power cord is subject to wear or abuse.
Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the pr ecautions below. An
outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SY ST EM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.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 (NEC) in USA and
Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada 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 electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC
Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for Antenna
Grounding.

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna.
This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and
power-l ine surges.
❑ When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this
indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set yourself since
opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as
the original parts.

Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega
Presenting the FD Trinitron Wega
The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY-GAH) is characterized by
outstanding contrast, uncompromising accuracy, and corner-tocorner detail.
You’ll recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost
immediately. The first thing you’ll notice is minimal glare from the
flat picture tube. This flat-screen technology improves picture detail
without distortion, unlike conventional curved screens. The FD
Trinitron delivers outstanding image detail not only at the screen
center, but also at the corners — so you can enjoy a bright, clear
picture from any location in a room.
Features Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:
❑ DRC-MF (Digital Reality Creation, Multi Function): Unlike
conventional line doublers, the DRC feature doubles vertical and
horizontal lines, resulting in four tim e s the density for quality
sources such as DVD, Satellite and Digital camcorder.
❑ Twin View
allows you to watch two programs side by side with the ability to
zoom in one picture. You can watch pictures from two different
sources (1080i, 480p and 480i) simultaneously.
❑ 16:9 Enhancement: Vertical Compression technology that
maximizes picture resolution on “anamorphic” or “enhanced for
widescreen” sources, including selected DVDs.
❑ Velocity Modulation: Vertical line enhance ment that sharpens
picture definition.
❑ Steady Sound: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent
output between programs and commercials.
❑ Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block
unsuitable programming for younger viewers.
❑ Component V ideo Inputs: Offers the best video quality for D VD,
(480p, 480i) Digital Set-top box (HD1080i) connections.
❑ S-VIDEO Inputs: Provides a high-quality image for connected
equipment.
❑ Favorite Channel Preview: Preview up to eight favorite channels
without leaving the current channel.
