CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen, can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

•Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 1 minute, then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again.

•Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.

•Check antenna connections on the rear of the TV. Are they properly secured to the antenna plug on the TV?

•Check the CABLE TUNING control for correct position.

•Check PICTURE SOURCE control for correct position ANT A or B, AUX1, AUX 2, or AUX 3 position without a signal source will result in a blank screen.

•Check the CLOSED CAPTIONS control. Some TEXT modes could block the screen.

•Check the VOLUME and MUTE buttons on the TV and remote.

•Check the TV SPEAKER NORMAL/OFF control for the correct position.

•If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections and that the auxiliary equipment is on and in the proper operating modes.

•Check TV-VCR-CBL “System” buttons on the remote. Press the remote’s TV System button to send commands to the TV; VCR System to sent to VCR; etc.

This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button once or twice, or unplug and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet.

This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.

Cleaning and Care

•To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

•When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive- do not use household cleaners). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

•Specially designed screen cleaning kits are also available which contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about the MAG4600 Projection TV Screen Cleaning Kit or call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-292-6066.

•Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water and a mild soap or detergent. Use a clean dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

•Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.

•Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.
