Note to CAll'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.
Precautions
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 the TV 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-out-picture (POP) 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 brighmess and
contrast settings. Never leave a POP, 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. "lhrn 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, then finish with a dry cloth.

• Coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna, cable TV company, or cable converter box. Coaxial cables
use "F" connectors.
• Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color-coded
according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and
white for stereo left (or mono) audio. On the back of the TV, the
jacks are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than a standard
video cable. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible equipment.
• Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. Component video cables can only be used
with component video compatible equipment.

This connection allows you to watch local channels and video
programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record
from one channel while watching another channel.
