If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts speci- fied by the manufacturer or have the same character- istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
