The plug has one prong wider than the other
and will fit only one way into a standard
electrical outlet (120 volt AC, 60 Hz). If the
plug does not fit into the outlet, try turning it
around. If the plug still does not fit, the outlet
is probably non-standard and must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.

Connecting your TV
If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or you have
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables
are not supplied.)
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.
• Audio and video cables are usually color coded according to use:
yellow for video and red and white for audio. The red audio cable is
for the stereo right channel, and the white audio cable is for the
stereo (or mono) left channel. If you look at the rear panel of the TV,
you will see that the terminals are color coded in the same manner
as the cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables
can only be used with S-video compatible components.

Connecting a cable converter box
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable
channels without using a cable company supplied 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 Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,
connect the CA TV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack
on the back of the television.
For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/
Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna
Jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown left.
Set the television to the output 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 with Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/
Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B Switch box from the cable
installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown
left. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any
nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position,
tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
Note:
When you use a converter box with your TV,
there may be features that you cannot
program using the remote control, such as
labeling channels, blocking channels, and
programming your favorite channels.

system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters
employ a rating system to qualify the content of television programs, as
well. The MPAA, Youth TV and TV ratings work with the V-Chip feature
and allow you to block out programming above the rating limits you
determine.

Cleaning and care
WARNING:
TV sets use high voltage. Do not try to remove the cabinet back. Refer servicing to qualified service technicians.
To clean the TV screen:
1. Unplug the TV to avoid possible shock hazard.
2. Use a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened with a solution of mild detergent and warm water to clean
the TV screen and trim. Do not use too much water because water spills into the cabinet can cause damage to the TV.
3. Wipe off any excess moisture with a clean dry cloth.
4. Polish the cabinet with a quality furniture polish to maintain the finish and appearance of the cabinet.
Caution:
Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet. These chemicals can
damage the finish of the cabinet.
