Important Safety Information
_ Always be careful when using your TV receiver. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine.
• Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your TV.
• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
• Heed all warnings on the TV receiver and in the operating instructions.
• Follow all operating and use instructions.
• Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval oflhe manufacturer.
Such additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
• Do not use the TV receiver where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility,
such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
• Do not place the TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table where it can fall. A falling TV can cause serious injury to
a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the TV. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufaclurer. Move the TV and cart with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit
and cart unsteady and likely to overlum.
• Provide ventilation for lhe TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for
ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object,
and do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place
it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver on a rack or bookcase,
ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you've followed the manufacturer's
instructions for mounting.
• Operate your TV receiver only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer
or local power company.
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a
polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician
to replace your outlet.
SAFETV 1
Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won't be walked on
or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a
lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time.
This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed 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, be extremely careful to
keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.
Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords.
Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous
voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.
Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the _pUEOF
ANI_NNA GROUNDINQ N_rr_tt_,
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide L__-----------_ t 0,_
some protection against voltage surges and built-up __,_,
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical °_""
_1_I tlBg_ON m r._l
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information _.o._
about proper grounding of the mast and supporting _'_-_,,_)

discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location "-_o_.o_
ELE_'rgg_E Ipt,_M
of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding ._ ._ _,E_,._,_.P,_,_
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
Do not attempt to service the TV yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
- when the power-supply cord or plug is dmnaged
- if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit
- if the TV has been exposed to rain or water
- if the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
- if the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
- when the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance
If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to normal.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in a safe operating condition.

if your antenna has a set of leads that
look like this, see "Antennas with
300-ohm Flat Twin Leads", below.
if your antenna has one lead thai looks
like this, see "Antennas with 75-ohm
Round Leads", on page 7.
if you have two antennas, see "Separate
VHF and UHF Antennas", on page 7.

Antennas with 75-ohm Round Leads
Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
if you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must
combine the two antenna signals before connecting lhe antennas to the TV. This
procedure requires a an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
Connecting Cable TV
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.

Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles All Channels
This terminal might be labeled
"ANT OUT", "VHF OUT", or
simply, "OUT".
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
if your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the
instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths
of coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)

Skip step 1 if you have not yet connected to an antenna or a cable system.
A coaxial cable is usually included with a VCR. (If not, check your local electronics store).
If you have a "mono" (non-stereo) VCR, use the Y-connector (not supplied) to hook up
to the left and right audio input jacks of the TV. If your VCR is stereo, you must
connect two cables.

Memorizing the Channels
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both "off-air" (antenna)
and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH v and CH A
buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by
entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a
broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels
(manual).
Selecting the Video Signal-source
Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the
type of signal source that is connected to the TV (Le., an antenna or a cable system).
