Im portant Safety Inform ation  
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in  
mind when installing, using, and maintaining your machine.  
Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the TV receiver.  
Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.  
• Heed all warnings on the TV receiver and in the operating instructions.  
• Follow all operating instructions.  
• Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning, Use a damp cloth, Do not use  
liquid or aerosol cleaners.  
• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such  
additions may cause risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.  
• Do not use the TV receiver where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as  
near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.  
• Do not place the TV receiver on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table. The TV receiver may fall, causing injury to  
people and/or damage to the TV. Use only with a cart, stand,  
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or  
sold with the TV receiver.  
• Follow the manufacturers instructions when mounting the unit,  
and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.  
Move the TV receiver and its cart with care. Quick stops, excessive  
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart to over-  
turn.  
• Provide ventilation for the TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for  
ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and  
do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near  
a radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver on a rack or bookcase, ensure that  
there is adequate ventilation and that youve followed the manufacturers instructions for  
mounting.  
• Operate your TV receiver 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 appliance dealer  
or local power company.  
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a polarized  
alternating-current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the  
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try  
reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they will not be walked  
on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cord placement  
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the unit.  
• Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system dur-  
ing a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will  
prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.  
An outside antenna system should not be placed 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.  
Avoid overhead power lines: When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful  
to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines might be fatal.  
• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric  
shock.  
• Do not insert foreign objects through openings in the unit, as they may touch dangerous  
voltages or cause damage. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV receiver.  
• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable  
system is connected to the TV receiver, be sure the

- If the TV receiver does not operate normally by following the operating instructions  
- If the TV receiver has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged  
- When the TV receiver exhibits a distinct degradation in performance  
• If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operat-  
ing instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require exten-  
sive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV receiver to normal.  
• 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 additional damage to the unit.  
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV receiver, ask the service technician to  
perform safety checks to determine that the TV receiver is in a safe operating condition.

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas  
If your antenna has a set of leads that  
look like this, see “Antennas with  
300-ohm Flat Twin Leads” below.  
If your antenna has one lead that looks  
like this, see “Antennas with 75-ohm  
Round Leads” on page 2.2.  
If you have two antennas, see “Separate  
VHF and UHF Antennas” on page 2.2.  
Antennas w ith 300-ohm Flat Tw in Leads  
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or rabbit ears) that has  
300-ohm twin flat leads, follow the directions below.  
1
Place the wires from the  
twin leads under the  
screws on the 300-75 ohm  
adaptor (not supplied).  
Use a screwdriver to

procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).  
1
Connect both antenna  
leads to the combiner.  
2
Plug the combiner into the  
VHF/UHF terminal on the  
bottom of the rear panel.  
Connecting Cable TV  
To connect to a cable TV system, follow the instructions below.  
Cable w ithout a Cable Box  
Because this TV is cable-ready,  
you do not need a cable box to view  
unscrambled cable channels.  
1
Plug the incoming cable  
into the VHF/UHF antenna  
terminal on back of the TV.

this cable to the VHF/UHF  
antenna terminal on the  
back of the TV.  
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descram bles Som e Channels  
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the  
instructions below. You will need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of  
coaxial cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)  
This terminal might be labeled

categories in the “young adult” group will be blocked (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V)  
work together similarly. (See next section.)
