out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.  
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is  
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 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.  
18. SERVICING  
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE  
Unplug this unit 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 unit.  
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those  
controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls  
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the  
unit to its normal operation.  
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.  
f . When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.  
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by  
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.  
21. SAFETY CHECK  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to  
determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.  
22. HEAT  
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other  
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

CONDENSATION  
Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm  
room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the unit's performance will be  
impaired.  
To prevent this, let the unit stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure  
that the room temperature rises gradually.  
Condensation may also form during the summer if the unit is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In  
such cases, change the location of the unit.  
Power source  
TO USE AC POWER SOURCE  
Use the AC polarized line cord provided for operation on AC. Insert  
the AC cord plug into a standard 120V 60Hz polarized AC outlet.  
AC Outlet

Closed caption  
What is closed captioning?  
This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. Closed  
Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in  
another language.  
Captions: This closed caption mode will display text on the  
screen in English or another language (depending on the  
setting of the closed captions CH 1/2).  
Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted on  
captions channel 1 and closed captions in other languages  
are transmitted on captions channel 2.  
The captions will appear in places on the screen where they  
will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of  
the screen. News programs will usually show three-line  
closed captions which scroll onto the screen.  
Most other shows provide two or three lined captions placed  
near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow  
the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles,  
words in foreign languages or words requiring emphasis.  
Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical  
notes.  
Text: The text closed caption mode will usually fill the screen  
with a programming schedule or other information.  
After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect  
until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.  
If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in  
the signal, the captions will reappear when the signal is  
received again. If the channels are changed, the captions will  
be delayed approximately 10 seconds.  
For television programs broadcasting with closed captions,  
look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).  
To view closed captions  
Press CLOSED CAPTION to  
switch between normal TV and the  
two closed caption modes (cap-  
tions and full screen text). Closed  
captioning will display text on the  
screen for hearing impaired  
viewers.  
NOTES:  
• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.  
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain 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 not be seen or may  
interfere with Closed Captions.  
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.  
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or  
may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception  
or use an outdoor antenna.

Memorizing channels  
This unit is equipped with a channel memory feature which allows channels to skip up or down to the

Video head cleaning  
Video head clogging  
The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture  
from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads  
become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back.  
This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good  
tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy).  
If this is the case, have the unit checked by qualified service personnel.  
Good Picture  
Snowy Picture  
NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THEVIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVINGTHE REAR COVER.  
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.  
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.  
DEGAUSSING SYSTEM  
This television has a degaussing circuit that will clear up color distortions on the TV screen that  
are caused by any excess magnetism which happens to get too close to the TV. This circuit is  
designed to operate once when the set is first plugged in. If minor color distortions are seen in  
some locations on the screen, please unplug the TV for approximately 15 minutes. When the TV  
is plugged back in, the degaussing circuit will operate once to clear up any color distortions.  
Repeat this procedure any time the TV screen is accidentally magnetized, or when the TV is  
moved or relocated.

Reception disturbances  
Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF  
antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television  
interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the unit is connected to a Cable TV  
system, the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.  
IGNITION  
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or  
drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems,  
neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair  
dryers.  
GHOSTS  
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is  
the direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other  
large objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may  
improve the reception.  
SNOW  
If the unit is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception area  
where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.  
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external  
antenna may be necessary.  
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)  
Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving  
ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a  
loss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of  
the antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.  
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION  
A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST  
or BRIGHTNESS settings.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the power source before cleaning.  
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture.  
Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
