Precautions

Notes on handling

■ Do not shock the LCD panel. It may cause unit
damage and malfunction.

■ When shipping the unit, the original shipping carton
and packing materials come in handy. For fully
protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed
at the factory.

■ Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products to
contact the unit for prolonged period. They will leave

Notes on LCD

The color LCD is manufactured using extremely high
precision technology, but even so may include certain
pixels that do not operate properly (that do not light,
that remain lit constantly, etc.). We do our best to
keep the number of these defective pixels to a
minimum, but please understand that they cannot be
completely eliminated even with the most advanced
manufacturing technologies available today.
The fluorescent tube which illuminates the panel from
the inside will deteriorate with use. When the LCD
becomes dim, flickers, or does not illuminate, contact
your dealer for replacement.
The brightness of the LCD monitor differs slightly
depending on the viewing angles. Adjust the angle to
obtain the best viewing. (The recommended angle is
90 degrees to the monitor.)

Cable TV connections

This TV/DVD has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box.
Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for
normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler
box, connect the Cable TV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the
Antenna jack on the back of the TV/DVD.

For subscribers to scrambled cable TV service

If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the
incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, connect
the output jack of the converter/descrambler box to the antenna jack on the TV/DVD. Follow the connections
shown below. Set the TV/DVD to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4)
and use the converter/descrambler box to select channels.

For subscribers to unscrambled basic cable TV service with scrambled
premium channels

If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the
use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the
cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B”
position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/DVD. With the switch in the “A” position, tune
your TV/DVD to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/
descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
