2. Do not expose the appliance to rain or use near water . . . for example, near a bathtub, swimming pool, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, etc.

Hooking Up Outdoor Antenna

LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND SET AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL

ELECTRICAL

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that 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."

1. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna 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 respect 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.

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.

Plug in the power cord

1. This product 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 product dealer or local power company. This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current 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 this polarized plug. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
2. 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 product.

Cleaning

1. Before cleaning, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not apply liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners directly to the unit. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.

Service & Repair

1. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
E. If the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance.
F. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to normal operation.

1. Upon completion of any service or repair, request the service technician's assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts were used, and that routine safety checks have been performed to determine that the appliance is in safe operating condition. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.
2. Never add accessories that have not been specifically designed for use with this appliance as they may cause hazards.
3. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the set is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the set due to lightning or power line surges.
4. Never push objects of any kind into this product 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 product.

V-Guide (PARENTAL CONTROL)

NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S FCC V-CHIP REGULATIONS. THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT FUNCTION WITH BROADCASTS THAT ORIGINATE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

ABOUT MPAA AND TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES

MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines are rating systems that provide advance cautionary information to parents about the content of movie and television programming.

The V-Guide system contain both age-based and content-based settings. This gives parents discretionary ways of choosing appropriate material for their children to view.

Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Suggestive Dialog), L (Adult Language), S (Sexual Situations), V (Violence), and FV (Fantasy Violence). When program

ming contains any or all of these conditions, these letters become part of the icon that is displayed on the TV screen.

A rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen for about fifteen seconds at the beginning of a program and should be repeated at the beginning of the second hour of a long program. It may also appear when returning from commercials. There may be other instances when these icons will be displayed as well. Parents are encouraged to become familiar with these icons and their meanings.

V-Guide OPERATION

Use this feature to supervise television viewing for young children. This television can be set to automatically block programs with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to view, including: suggestive dialog, adult language, sexual situations, violence, and fantasy violence.

The ability of the television to block the reception of specific programming content depends upon several conditions: 1) The program must be rated, 2) Networks must broadcast the rating code data, 3) Cable companies must transmit the rating code signal, and 4) The TV must be properly setup to decode the signal.

Quick Tips

Use the CHANNEL keys and the VOLUME- ^+ keys to navigate through the menus.
V-Guide feature is accessible only from the remote control.
The V-Guide display remains on screen for approximately 20 seconds. If it disappears, press the V-Guide key.
The TV will automatically block (B) ratings above or unblock (U) ratings below selection. For example, if you block rating R, NC17 and X will be blocked as well.

• Blocking TVY7 does not block higher ratings.
  You can block a content rating such as TVPG-V and still be able to watch TVPG programs with ratings of S-L-D provided TVPG is unblocked (U).
  To temporarily unblock or view blocked (B) programs, set V-GUIDE to OFF, or press the RESET key twice to clear all blocked (B) ratings and other customized settings.

SETTING MPAA MOVIE RATING

1. Press the V-GUIDE key on the remote control to display menu.

2. Use the - + keys to select OFF.

CARE AND CLEANING

The surface of the cabinet can be damaged if not properly maintained. Many common household aerosol sprays, cleaning agents, solvents, and polishes will cause permanent damage to the fine surface.

1. Unplug the power cord before cleaning the television.
2. Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft dry cloth.

Note: Never spray liquids on the screen because it can run down and drip onto the chassis.

This may cause component failure not covered under Warranty.

CHILD SAFETY

Sanyo is committed to making home entertainment safe and enjoyable. Always use an appropriate table or stand when positioning your TV. Use appropriate brackets, braces, or straps to anchor your furniture in place. But never screw anything directly to the television.

Do not place televisions on dressers, shelves, desks, carts, etc. where curious or excited children could pull, push, or otherwise cause the unit to fall and cause personal injury.

Never place toys or other items on top of the TV that could pique children's curiosity causing them to climb about the furniture.

Always use stands that are designed to support the size and combined weight of your television and other electronic devices.
