• If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the television, 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.

• Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm

) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm

) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.

• Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 -1.83 m) apart.

• Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters house.

• Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6A WG (13.3 mm

• An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead 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.

• For added protection for this television during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect it from the antenna or cable system. This prevents damage to the television due to lightning and power line surges.

Insert the AC plug into a standard 120V 60 Hz polarized AC outlet. Notes: Never connect the AC plug to other than the specified voltage (120V 60 Hz). Use the attached power cord only. If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a non-polarized AC outlet, do not file or cut the blade. It is your responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet. If you cause a static discharge when touching the television and the television fails to work, unplug the television from the AC outlet, then plug it back in. The television should work normally. Installing batteries in the remote control Before using the remote control, you must install batteries. Use two AAA size batteries. The batteries may last about one year depending on how much the remote control is used. For best performance, we recommend the batteries should be replaced on a yearly basis, or when the remote operation becomes erratic. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types. To install batteries in the remote control: 1 Open the battery compartment cover. 2 Install two AAA batteries. 3 Replace the battery compartment cover. Battery precautions Follow these precautions when using batteries in this remote control:

• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.

• Make sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may damage the device.

• Do not mix different types of batteries together (such as alkaline and carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.

• If the remote is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.

• Do not try to recharge batteries that are not intended to be recharged. These batteries can overheat and rupture (follow battery manufacturer's directions). Connecting to an antenna When shipped from the factory, the TV CABLE menu option is set to the CABLE (Cable Television) mode. If you are not using Cable TV, set this menu option to the TV position. If you are using an indoor or outdoor antenna, follow the instructions that correspond to your antenna system. If you are using a cable television service, see “Connecting to cable television” on page 7. Combination VHF/UHF antenna (single 75 ohm cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire) Connecting a combination VHF/UHL antenna with a twin-lead wire: 1 Connect the 75 ohm cable from the combination VHF/UHF antenna to the RF IN jack. 2 If your combination VHF/UHF antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire, you may need to use a 300-75 ohm matching transformer.

Connecting to cable television This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a cable television converter box. Some cable television 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 television company. For subscribers to basic cable television service For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the RF IN jack on the back of the television. For subscribers to scrambled cable television service Connecting the TV to cable television: 1 If you subscribe to a cable television service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. 2 Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, connect the output jack of the converter/descrambler box to the RF IN jack on the television. Follow the connections shown above. 3 Set the television to the output channel of the converter/ descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/ descrambler box to select channels. For subscribers to unscrambled basic cable television service with scrambled premium channels If you subscribe to a cable television service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/ descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the cable television company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown above. With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your television. With the switch in the A position, tune your television to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

If this happens, set the closed caption feature to OFF. When selecting closed captions, the captioning delays about ten seconds. If no caption signal is received, no captions appear, but the television remains in the caption mode. Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during closed captioning. This is normal with closed captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing. When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute, may be seen but may interfere with closed captions. Some cable television systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed captioned signal.
