This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Note to the CATV Installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Operate the TV only on 120 V AC.
One blade of the power plug is wider than the other for safety purposes and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
If any liquid or solid object falls into the TV, unplug it and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.
CAUTION
When using TV games, computers, and similar products with your TV, keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of time at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen. Continuously watching the same channel can cause the imprint of station logos onto the TV screen. These types of imprints are not covered by your warranty because they are the results of misuse.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and keep this 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
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.
Use
Power Sources
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 may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than other). 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 replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
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 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.
Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy storm. Lightning may strike while you are holding the cable or cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your TV and wait for the weather to improve.
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.
Do not place any objects, especially heavy objects, on top of the set. The object may fall from the set, causing injury.
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
Always use two or more people to lift or move the set. The set is heavy and the bottom surface is flat. Serious injury can result from trying to move the set by yourself alone, or from unsteady handling.
Install the set on a stable, level surface.
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, tripod, bracket, 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. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. 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.
01US01COV-BR2.book Page iii Wednesday, February 19, 2003 5:45 PM
•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 precautions 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 SYSTEM, 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.

Lightning
For added protection for this television receiver during a 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 receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
Service
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
•When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
•If liquid has been spilled into the set or objects have fallen into the product.
•If the set has been exposed to rain or water.
•If the set has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
•If the set does not operate
normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the set to normal operation.
•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. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the set, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to determine that the set is in safe operating condition, and to so certify. When the set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the set.

This input allows you to view local and cable channels if your |
|
cable provider does not feature local channels. You can switch |
|
between local and cable channels by pressing ANT on the |
|
remote control. Devices connected to the AUX input cannot be |
|
viewed in PIP. |
2TO CONVERTER This is a VHF/UHF out jack that lets you set up your TV to switch between scrambled channels (through a cable box) and normal cable channels (CATV). Use this jack instead of a splitter to get better picture quality when you need to switch between scrambled and unscrambled cable channels.
3 VHF/UHF |
This input connects to your VHF/UHF antenna or cable. |
|
|
4 S VIDEO |
This input connects to the S VIDEO OUT jack on your VCR or |
|
other video equipment that has S VIDEO. S VIDEO provides |
|
better picture quality than the VHF/UHF jacks or the video |
|
input jack. S VIDEO does not provide sound, so you still must |
|
connect the audio cables. |

Connecting Your TV
Basic Connections
TV with Cable, Indoor, or Outdoor Antenna
Depending on the cable system available in your home, choose one of the connections below:
Use this to connect the TV to a cable system or an antenna with a 75-ohm cable (usually built in to newer homes).
(not supplied)
Use this to connect the TV to a dipole antenna, also known as a “rabbit ears antenna” (usually found in older homes).
This allows you to connect your TV to both a cable system and a dipole antenna, in order to view both cable and local channels.
If you are connecting to an indoor or outdoor antenna, you may need to adjust the orientation of the antenna for the best reception.

Scrambled signals coming in to the TV through the cable box cannot be viewed in PIP. If some, but not all, of your channels are scrambled, consider using the cable box and cable connection.
