IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued from previous page)
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, 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 (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA
70 provides information with regard 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.
15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (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 product due to lightning and
power-line surges.
16. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or 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.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the product.
19. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this product yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or
water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal
operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet
has been damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
21. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer or have
the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
22. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product
is in proper operating condition.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

An old, bad or illegally recorded tape is played.
Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.
The signal from the antenna is weak.
The program wasn’t captioned when it was produced, transmitted, or taped.
Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words which
then appear as subtitles on the television screen. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dialogue and narration of television programs.
Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of television programs. For prerecorded programs, program dialogue can
be arranged into captions in advance. It’s possible to caption a
live program by using a process called real-time captioning, which
creates captions instantly. Real-time captioning is normally done
by professional reporters using a machine shorthand system and
computer for translation into English.
Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it
can also aid in teaching language skills.
• The picture at left shows a typical caption.
• IGNITION:
Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black spots, or horizontal streaking. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other
electrical appliances.
• GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two
paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected off tall
buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or
position of the antenna may improve reception.
• SNOW:
If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV
signal, your picture may be marred by small dots. It may be
necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.

Using Closed Captions
• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.
• Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption signals on the same channel. By selecting
From CC
1 to CC 4
, you can choose which signal you view. CC 1 is usually the signal with the captions, while Another
mode
might show demonstration or programming information.
• Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.

Caring for your TV
1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft
cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish
washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to
wipe the screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before
you turn on your TV.
1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.
2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.
3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning your TV on.
If you leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good
idea to unplug the power to protect against possible damage from lightning
or power surges. If you use an off-air antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.
Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the
amount of time you will have with your new TV. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out
the plug before you begin any cleaning.
