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 still fails 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 being 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.

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.

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.

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.

Installation

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

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 b e 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.

Cable Box and Ca b le

This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if your cable TV company scrambles some ch an nel s, bu t not a ll of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels), and you need to use a cable box.

With this setup you can:

❑ Use the TV remote control to change channels on your cable box

when the signal is scrambled.

❑ Use the TV remote control to change channels using your TV

when the signal is not scrambled. (Your TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

❑ Use the PIP feature normally with the CATV input. ❑ Use the PIP feature partially with the cable box. (When you

switch the TV input to AUX — to use the cable box — the scrambled picture will display only in the main window. If you turn on the PIP, you will be able to see any of the regular channels in the PIP window, but you cannot SWAP the pictures between the main and PIP windows.)

(Continued on the next page)

Installing the TV

(Continued from the previous page)

1 Connect the Cable TV cable to the TV’s VH F/UHF jack. 2 Using a coaxial cable, connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to

the cable box’s IN jack. The TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.

3 Using a coaxi al cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the

TV’s AUX jack.

To use the TV remote control to switch channels on the cable box

❑

Program the remote control as necessary. (See “Programming the Remote Control ” on page 50.) Then use the remote control to switch cable box channels.

To prevent the accidental switching of TV channels

❑

When using the cable box, you need your TV to stay on a required channel (usually channel 3 or 4). You can use the TV’s Channel Fix feature to lock in a specific channel. The Channel Fix feature is under the Channel menu. For details, see “Using the Channel Menu” on page 40.

Installing the TV

Cable Box only

Use this hookup if:

❑ You subscribe to a cable TV system that scrambles or encodes all

signals, requiring a cable box to view all channels, and

❑ You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video

equipment to your TV.

When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the PIP feature. If some of your channels are scrambled, but others are not, consider using the hookup “Cable Box and Cable” on page 13 instead.

1 Connect the coaxial connector from your cable service to the

cable box’s IN jack.

2 Using a coaxi al cable, connect the cable box’s OUT jack to the

TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

VHF/UHF jack.

3 Using an A/V cable, connect the VCR’s Audio and Video OUT

jacks to the TV’s Audio and Video IN jacks.

✍ If the VCR you are connecting has an S VIDEO jack, you can use an S VIDEO

cable for improved picture quality (compared to a combination audio/video cable). Because S VIDEO cables carry only the video signal, you will need audio cables for sound.

Connecting a VCR and Cable Box (KV-36FS17 only )

Use this hookup if:

❑ Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of

them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you therefore need to use a cable box, and

❑ You want to use the PIP feature.

With this setup you can:

❑ Use the TV remote control to change cable box channels when the

signal is scrambled.

❑ Use the TV remote control to change TV channels when the

signal is not scrambled. (Your TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

❑ Use the PIP feature. ❑ Record both regular CATV and scrambled channels.

To connect a cable box and a VCR, you will need:

❑ A small, inexpensive device known as a splitter. ❑ Three coaxial cables. ❑ Either a combination audio/video cable, or an S VIDEO cable

and audio cables.

1 Con nect th e CATV cable to the single (input) jack of the splitter. 2 Use a coaxial cable to connect one of the two output jacks of the

splitter to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.

❑

Any video equipment you have connected to the AUX input cannot be viewed in the PIP window.

❑ If you are viewing all channels through a cable box, the PIP

feature will not work. The cable box only unscrambles one signal at a time, so the window picture will be the same as the main picture.

❑ Y ou can use PIP to see pictures from dif feren t sources on your TV.

For example, you can have a regular (CATV) channel and the output from a VCR or DVD player or satellite receiver on screen at the same time using PIP. To do this:

of the TV.

2 Connect the peripheral (VCR or DVD player or satellite

receiver) to any of the VIDEO IN inputs on the the back of the TV.

3 Tune to one image in the main picture. 4 Tune to a second image in the PIP window.

You can then SWAP the images on the TV screen.
