APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The important note is located on the rear of the cabinet.

Important Safeguards

1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating instructions

should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions

should be retained for future reference.

3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the appliance and in the

operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions

should be followed.

5. CLEANING - Unplug TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not

use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and,

that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CAT V converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.

6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by

the TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this TV near water, for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this T V on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall, causing serious injury to someone, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the T V.

Any mounting of the appliance 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.

AMEUBLES - Cet appareil ne doit être placé

que sur un meuble (avec ou sans roulettes) recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous l’ installez sur un meuble à roulettes, déplacez les deux ensembles avec précaution. Un arrêt brusque, l’utilisation d’une force excessive et des surfaces irrégulières risquent de déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le renverser.

9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the

cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

10. POWER SOURCES - This TV should be operated only from the type

of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This TV is equipped with a

THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.

polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the 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 should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, 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. (Fig. A)

INTRODUCTION

Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.

18. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening

or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this TV from the wall

outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV. c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a

qualified technician to restore the TV to its normal operation. e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way. f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance, this

indicates a need for service.

Precautions

Channel scanning is necessary for the unit to memorize all available channels in your area. (Refer to “Initial Setup” on page 13.)

Note:

• For your safety and to avoid damage to device, please unplug the RF coaxial cable from the antenna input jack before moving the unit.

• If you use an antenna to receive analog TV, it should also work for DTV reception. Outdoor or attic antennas will be more effective than settop versions.

• To easily switch your reception source between antenna and cable, install an antenna selector.

• If you connect to the cable system directly, contact the CAT V installer.

[Connection to Cable Box or Satellite Box]

Connect the RF coaxial cable on your home outlet to the input jack of the cable/satellite box. Use another RF coaxial cable to connect the antenna input jack of the unit to the output jack of the cable/satellite box.
