equipped with a 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.

side 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)
14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this TV
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 or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir­cuits as contact with them might be fatal.

cian 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.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE REMEDY
Try a new channel, if OK, then possible station trouble.
Is TV plugged in? Power at outlet?
Is TV’s power on?
Is antenna or cable connected to terminal on the back of the set?
If outside antenna is being used, check for broken wire or loose connection.
Check for local interference.
Turn off the TV and then turn it on after about a minute.
Adjust COLOR control.
Adjust CONTRAST & BRIGHT control.
Check batteries in remote control.
Move the TV away from the nearby appliances which generate a magnetic field. Turn off using [POWER], then turn it on again 30 minutes later or so.
Check if there is an obstacle between the sensor and the remote control.
Test the signal output.* If OK, then possible remote sensor trouble.

Closed Caption Problem Possible Remedy
Misspelled captions are shown.
Text is not shown in its entirety or there is a delay of what is being said.
Captions are scrambled with white boxes on the TV screen.
No captions are displayed in a program which must contain closed caption.
No captions are displayed when playing a prerecorded videotape with closed caption.
The TV screen shows a black box.
Spelling errors may pass through uncorrected by the closed caption­ing production company in a live broadcast.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production compa­nies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
Broadcasters may a time compression process to the actual pro­gram so that additional advertising time can be given. In this case, captions will be lost since the decoder cannot read the compressed information.
The videotape may be either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating company may accidentally have left out the captioning signals dur­ing the copying process.
