CAUTION
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS
POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE
PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED INTO THE
OUTLET TO PREVENT ANY EXPOSURE OF THE
PRONGS ON THE POLARIZED PLUG.
ATTENTION
POUR PRÉVENIR LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES NE PAS
UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISÉE AVEC UN
PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISE DE COURANT OU UNE
AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT, SAUF SI LES LAMES
PEUVENT ÊTRE INSÉRÉS À FOND SANS EN LAISSER

CAUTION
The plug has one prong wider than the other and will fit only
one way into a standard
electrical outlet (120 volt AC,
wide prong
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. Do not tamper with the plug
or try to force it into a non-standard outlet.
Note to CATV system installers in the USA
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, which 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.
Installing your TV
• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The
mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you install the
TV on a soft floor, make sure that the floor is not damaged
by the weight of the TV.
• Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow proper
ventilation. This will prevent theTV from overheating and
avoid possible damage to the TV. Avoid dusty areas too.
• Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight or
near a heater. Avoid areas subject to extremely high
temperatures or humidity, and temperatures of 41˚F(5˚C) or
lower.
Using your TV
• Do not stand or climb on the TV.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the TV.
• Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks or
cosmetics on the TV. If any foreign material or water leaks
into the TV, unplug the AC cord and contact your dealer.
• If the room temperature suddenly rises, condensation may
occur on the lenses resulting in picture distortion or color
fading. In such a case, simply wait a while (with the power
on) and the condensation will evaporate.
• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for
extended periods of time. Stationary patterns generated by a
picture-in-picture (PIP) display, Multi-Window display,
computer displays, video games, stock market reports, etc.,
can become permanently engrained on the picture tube. This
damage is not protected by your warranty because it is the
result of misuse. If you wish to use your TV to display still
images, reduce brightness and contrast settings. Never leave a
PIP, Multi-Window, computer, or video game display
unattended.
• Sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV. Sitting too
far to the left or right of the screen will cause the picture to
appear dull as will direct sunlight and room lights. Turn the
TV off to check for reflections on the screen. Then remove
the source of any reflections while viewing.
Cleaning your TV
• Clean the TV with a soft dry, cloth. Never use strong
solvents, such as thinner or benzine, which might damage the
finish of the cabinet. If the cabinet is very dirty, use a damp
cloth to wipe the cabinet clean and then finish with a dry
cloth.
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE TUBE
Extensive viewing of fixed (non-moving) images or patterns can
cause uneven aging of the picture tube, and leave a subtle but
permanent ghost image in the picture. This type of damage is
NOTCOVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY
and unattended for long periods of time while the following
formats or images are displayed:
— Fixed images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers,
video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
— Special formats that do not use the entire screen. For
example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal
(4:3) display (bars at top and bottom of screen), or viewing
normal (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (bars on
left and right sides of screen).
. Never leave the TV on

If you have not 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 an
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. On the rear panel of the
TV, the terminals are color-coded in the same manner as the
cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than regular
video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
• ColorStream
and can only be used with component video–compatible
components. A component video connection provides the best
picture performance.

Searching and sampling the code of a device (991)
If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you can
cycle the remote control through the available codes for that device
mode, and sample various function buttons to find the code that
enables the remote control to operate the target device. The keys
Setting up
your TV
available to be sampled, provided they are applicable to that mode, are
0, 1, 2, 3, POWER, VOL y,CHy, PLAY, and STOP. Invalid keys
will be ignored while in program mode.
To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:
Features
Using the TV’s
Appendix
1. Refer to the Device code table on pages 16–19 to find the code
for the brand of your device.
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find the one that works.
2. Press MODE until the Mode indicator of the device
(CABLE/SAT, VCR, DVD, AUDIO1, AUDIO2) lights up.
3. While holding down RECALL, press the Number buttons to
enter the four-digit code for your device.
If the correct code is entered, the mode indicator will blink twice.
If an incorrect code is entered, there will be one long blink.
4. Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test
the code.
If the device responds to the remote control, you have entered the
correct code.
If the device does not respond, you may have entered the wrong
code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another code.
5. To control the TV, press MODE to select TV.
1. Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.
2. While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 1. The remote control
will enter program mode.
3. Point the remote control at the target device, and then press
POWER (or other function buttons that are available to be
sampled).
4. If the device responds to the remote control:
Press RECALL to store the device code. The mode indicator
will blink twice, and the remote control will exit program
mode.
If the device does not respond to the remote control:
Press MENU y, and then press POWER. Repeat this step
until the device responds to the remote control, and then press
RECALL.

Note:
• Each time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.
• Some newer VCRs are capable of working
on either of two remote codes. These VCRs
have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”
If your VCR has this kind of switch and
does not respond to any of the codes for
your VCR brand, set the switch to the other
position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram
the remote control.
Index
Note: When the search cycle is done, the mode indicator will blink three times.
The remote control will begin to cycle through the available codes again.
If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while programming, the remote
control will exit the program mode and return to the previous code.

Verifying the device code (990)
Use this feature to verify the device codes currently programmed in
the remote control. The number of blinks after pressing the 1, 2, 3,
and 4 buttons is the 4-digit code set up for that mode.
For example, to verify the device code for the VCR mode:
1. Repeatedly press MODE until the VCR mode is selected.
2. While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 0.
3. Press 1 ➝ 0 blinks.
4. Press 2 ➝ 3 blinks.
5. Press 3 ➝ 8 blinks.
6. Press 4 ➝ 5 blinks.
This verifies that the device code of the VCR mode is “0385.”
Using the Volume Lock feature (993)
For the TV, CABLE/SAT, VCR, and DVD modes, the volume
controls (VOL yz and MUTE) can be programmed or locked to the
selected device mode. This feature does not apply to the AUDIO1
and AUDIO2 modes.
For example, to lock the volume controls to the CABLE/SAT mode:
1. Repeatedly press MODE until the CABLE/SAT mode is selected.
2. While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 3.
3. Press VOL y . When locked, the mode indicator will blink two
times.
