stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
6A.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination
to overturn.
15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of
time.
16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do

tronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items
could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause
product damage and/or personal injury.
17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:

wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,
the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a
built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede
the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance
beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servic-
ing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances

TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen,
can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source
the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image per-
manently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly
alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate power surges. Should this occur turn the
TV back on by pressing the POWER button once or twice, or unplug and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet.
This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such as those caused by lightning, which is not covered
by your warranty.
Cleaning and Care
• To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using
anything abrasive- do not use household cleaners). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use
even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.
• Specially designed screen cleaning kits are also available which contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get
into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about an optional Projection TV Screen Cleaning Kit or
call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-851-8885.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water and a mild soap
or detergent. Use a clean dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring
of the cabinet finish.

GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS
Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these connec- PTV * Projection Television (Rear and/or Front projection design
tors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and
video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in
order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connec-
tion options.
systems are available.)
Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the TV
control panel through which infrared remote control command sig-
nals are received.
Coaxial Cable * A single solid antenna wire normally matched
with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes)
directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.
RF * Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the car-
rier for television broadcasts.
Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio
channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS)
broadcast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the
recorded or video signal (usually containing a second language
translation for the displayed programming.)
Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user
operate and adjust TV feature controls. See On Screen Displays
(OSD).
Identify* Method by which a remote control searches and finds an
operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable
Converter). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV
remote can operate and send commands to the other product.
Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number
is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the TV
of on-screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the
displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).
LED * Light Emitting Diode or indicator.
Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the TV
screen that are made available for user adjustments.
S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution video
sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder, Laser Disc
player, etc. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and
clarity.
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard
that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.
Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two
strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor
antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires
an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm
Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and
VCRs.
On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages
generated by the TV to help the user with specific feature controls
(color adjustment, programming, etc.).
Pre-Amplifier * The control center of a hi-fi system. Not only
amplifies source inputs, but also allows for source selection, vol-
ume, tone, balance and all other controls that affect the sound.
Variable Audio Output * An adjustable audio output which
allows for volume variations at the source.
Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel num-
bers into the TV’s memory circuits. In this way the TV “remem-
bers’’ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and
skips over any unwanted channel numbers.
