8. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To insure reliable operation of the television equipment and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. This television equipment should not be placed in a built-in insulation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

9. The openings should never be covered with a cloth or other material, and the bottom openings should not be blocked by placing the television equipment on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This television equipment should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

10. This television equipment 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 supplied to your home, consult your television dealer or local power company.

For television equipment designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

1. As a safety feature, television equipment is equipped with a 2-wire polarized plug (one plug blade bigger than the other). The 2-wire polarized plug will fit only one way into the power outlet. If the plug does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not modify the plug and defeat this safety feature.

2. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this television equipment where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (Continued)

1. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television equipment.
2. If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 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.

1. For added protection for this television equipment 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. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.
2. 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.
3. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
4. Never push objects of any kind into this television equipment through cabinet slots 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 television equipment.
5. Do not attempt to service this television equipment yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
6. Unplug this television equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

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

1. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this television equipment, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition.
2. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Before Operating Your Television

Location

• For normal operation, your TV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.
• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys using magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from the TV set.

Power

Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it fail to fit, contact an electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.

Note:

• If the set is not going to be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the wall outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)
• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn off the radio.
• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received due to interference from the TV.

● Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Inserting the batteries

Pul up Battery Cover

- With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the battery cover. Insert two batteries (size "AA"). Be sure to match the battery / terminals with the / marks inside the compartment.

Antenna Connections

Antennas

- The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems:

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm ADAPTOR (not supplied).

F-type connector 75-ohm coaxial cable (round) 300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

Antenna Connections (Continued)

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

• Refer to one of the following two diagrams when connecting to an outdoor antenna.
  A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.
  B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.
• Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT/CABLE terminal on the rear of the TV set.

F-type connector should be finger-tightened only.

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type connector with tools.

If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set.

(The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

• A 75 ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75 ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.
• Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV on channel 3 or 4. Typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.

Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV's channel keys.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler using the converter's channel keys.

• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. "Closed Caption" is a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home videos to appear as captions on the TV screen (see the illustration).
• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the “cc” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
• Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2.
  The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries of TV dramas and news programs while allowing clear view of the picture.
  The TEXT mode displays over the picture other various information (such as TV program schedule, weather forecast, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

Good morning. How are you?

Note:

• If a broadcast contains CLOSED CAPTION and the MUTE button is pressed, the set enters CAPTION mode automatically. Pressing MUTE again will return the set to its previous condition.
• Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks, strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are poor or if there are problems at the broadcast source. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with your TV.
• If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.
• If no TEXT broadcast is being received while viewing in the TEXT mode, the screen may become dark and blank for some programs. Should this occur, switch the Closed Caption mode to "OFF".

Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation)

V-CHIP

• This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may be harmful.
• Restriction of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program's MPAA rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. MPAA is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and contents.
• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for complete control.

[1] MPAA RATING

RATING
age based	G	GENERAL AUDIENCES. All ages admitted.
	PG	PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED. Some material may not be suitable for children.
	PG-13	PARENTS STRONGLY CAUTIONED. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
	R	RESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
	NC-17	NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED.
	X	X Rating is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded on older movie's data.

- MPAA RATING

Example 1:

"PG-13" in the age-based rating is blocked, this will automatically block the higher ratings "R", "NC-17", "X" also.

Example 2:

“R” in the age-based rating is blocked, this will automatically block the higher rating “NC-17”, “X” also.

Note:

• MPAA RATING is only age-based.

Operation of Universal Remote Control

• Universal Remote Control

With the purchase of your television set you also have received the latest innovation in remote control technology. With its easy-to-use push button keyboard, your Remote can control your television set and most infrared remote controlled VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs as well.

Note:

• Depending on the model year produced, brand and type of VCR, cable TV converter and DVD, some models may not be compatible with the remote control.
• Some brands may not enable channel selection until the ENTER is pressed. In such case, try the following.

Example:

When you select channel 24,

(1) Press REMOTE KEYPAD "2".
(2) Press REMOTE KEYPAD "4".
(3) Press ENTER.

For detailed information on the use of the Cable TV converter Box refer to their operating manuals.

- Using your Remote with your TV

After installing the batteries, set the CATV/DVD-TV/VCR on the Remote to the TV position. (If you can change the channel of the TV by pressing CH ▲/▼ on the Remote Control, it is in the TV position.)

- “Identifying” VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs

Your Remote Control has been set at the factory to operate your TV and many remote controlled VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs. However, in some cases an easy one-time set-up step may be necessary before the Remote will operate accessory VCRs, cable TV converters and DVDs.

• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and memorizes the remote control transmitter code for the VCR, cable TV converters and DVDs.
• Once “identified”, the Remote sends proper signals to operate your accessory.
• This identifying step will not have to be repeated until power to the Remote is interrupted due to a battery failure.

- Using your remote control with a VCR

Once you make certain the Remote Control has "identified" your remote controlled VCR or DVD, the Remote is ready to operate your unit. The various VCR or DVD function buttons on the Remote will not operate your VCR or DVD if those features are not already found on your unit.

- All VCR buttons will operate whether the Remote is in TV or VCR modes.

- For detailed information on the use of the VCR or DVD, refer to the operation manual of the VCR or DVD.
