Any mounting of the TV should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the

15.	Lightning - For added protection for this TV 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 TV due to lighting 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, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles
	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 TV 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 TV.
19.	Servicing - Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening and removing covers may expose
	you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20.	Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
	service personnel under the following conditions:
	a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
	b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV.
	c) If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.
	d) If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those

9.The TV and cart combination should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the TV and cart combination to overturn.

10Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack

unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

11.Power Sources - This TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your TV dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12.Grounding or Polarization - This TV may be equipped with a polarized alternatingcurrent line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13.Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the TV.

14.Outdoor Antenna Grounding - 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code 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. See Figure 1.

	restore the TV to its normal operation.
	e) If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
	f) When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
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 TV, ask the service technician to
	perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in proper operating condition.
23.	Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The TV should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended
	by the manufacturer.
24.	Heat - The TV should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
	or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
	Note to CATV system installer:
	This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 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.

USING THE AUDIO AND VIDEO JACKS

The AUDIO and VIDEO INPUT jacks on the front of the TV allow you to receive audio (sound) and video (picture) from external sources, such as VCR, Video Disc, etc. Follow the instructions below to play video from an external source.

1 . Use audio/video cables (not included) to connect to the AUDIO and VIDEO INPUT jacks on the front of the TV to audio and video output jacks on an external source.

	• The remote control unit requires two 1.5 volt “AA” size batteries. The battery compartment is
	located on the back of the unit. To open, press down of the lid and slide toward the bottom of
	the unit. Install the batteries exactly as shown by the diagram in the compartment.
	• If one or both of the batteries are reversed, the REMOTE CONTROL will not operate and the
REMOTE CONTROL	unit may be damaged.
	• Do not allow strong sunshine to fall on the TV set front panel as this may affect the operation
	of the remote control.

ANT

Some cable companies offer “premium pay” channels in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company. Below are illustrations for connection of these types of converter/ descrambler devices with the TV’s VHF antenna jack.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable Service:

To allow viewing of all channels through converter/descrambler. TV must be set to the output channel of the converter/descrambler (usually ch 3 or 4).

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels:

You may need to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a “two-set coupler”) and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. With the A/B switch in “B” posi- tion you can directly tune to any non-scrambled channels using your TV’s tuning system or remote control. With the switch in “A” position, you can tune your TV to the output channel of the decoder (usually CH 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels. Since cable systems vary, you may wish to consult your local cable company.

2.Press the TV/VIDEO button on remote control to select the VIDEO mode and the VIDEO indication will appear on the screen.

3.Operate the VCR, Video Disc or etc. as described in its owner’s manual. The TV will monitor playback.

You must return the TV to TV mode for regular TV viewing.

If the TV does not receive a signal from an external source, the VIDEO display will appear on screen.
