INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Before you install your TV... Ventilation - Proper ventilation keeps your TV

running cool.Air circulates through perfora-

dons in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do not block these vents or you will shorten the life

of your TV. Power Source -- Your'IV is designed to operate

on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC current.

Power Cord - Your power cord has a polarized plug as required by Underwriters' Laboratories. It has one regular blade and one

wide blade and fits only one way into a standard electrical outlet. If the blades will not enter

either way, your outer is very old and non-

standard. A new outlet should be installed by a

qualified electrician.

Safe Operation - Your "IV is manufactured

and tested with your safety in mind.However, unusual stress caused by dropping or mishan-

dling exposure to flood, fire, rain or moisture,

or accidental spilling of liquids into the "IV, can result in potential electrical shock or fire

hazards. If this happens, have your "IV checked by a service technician before using it again.

Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety Tips" folder when installing and usiing your"IV.

FIXED PATTERN DISPLAY CAU'I,1ON -- If you use you

TV for video games, t(=lete.xtor other freed displays, avoid

setting the BRIGFrFNE.SS control for an excessively brigh

picture. A bright, RxeMpattern, if m;ed for long periods of time, can result in a p,rrmanent imprint on the TV picture

tube. You can reduce this possibility by alternating the ust of the:fixed pattern display with normal "IV picture viewin by turning down the CONTRAST contTol for sustained

fixed pattern use, and by turning off the: f_ed pattern dis-

play when not in use.

PLUGGING IN YOUR TV - Be sure to plug your "IV int

an "unswitche.d" AC power source.The "switched" AC o

lets found on some video equipment will not continue su r plying power to flat: TV once the equipment is turned off.

the power to the TV is interrupted, you will have to reset

the dock in the TV to the current time.

CONNECTIONS FOR YOUR "iV

CONNECTION CENTER ON BACK OF TV

The connection center on the rear of your "IV will be _zdlar to the one shown below. Refer to the illustration

w]dle reading the foUowmg description.

The connection c¢nter of yourTV allowsthreebasic =types"of video co:me.ore to provide for up to 5 different

viewing sourcesto your "IV. Using thesefive coanectiom,

you can choose from a variety of antenna sourcesand audio/video components for your viewing pleasure. Note

that the correct source must be s_Iccted from the SOURCE MENU (as described later in this booklet) to watch TV.

I. ANT/CABLE I or ANT/CABLE 2

Use one of these jacks for 75-ohm, antenna-type signal connections to your TV. Attach your anten- na, cable-TV line, or other video component to either of these jacks. The input may come from an

outdoor or master antenna, cable-TV decoder box, or the 75-ohm TV output from a VCR.

lag the picture and sound to your TV. The most common "signal soL=ce" is your outdoor antenna

(or master antenna) or a cable-TV system. This type of sig- nal is called a radio frequency (RF) source, and is con-

neaed to the one of the ANT/CABLE jacks.

,.-..J

Another common "signal source" is the audio and video (A/V) from a VCR or video disc player. Tiffs type of signal

is called base band (basic video and audio),, and is con- nected to one of the VIDI!:OIN connections.

A third "signal source" is the input from a Super-VHS VCR. If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-VIDEO 1 IN

video and audio jacks to connect it to the ".W. To use any of these video;audio input sources, you must ac-

cess the SOURCE Menu and select the "source" which cor- responds to the input jacks being used. Rder to the

"SOURCE MENU" in this operating guide.
