Before OperatingYour Television  
Location  
• For normal operation, yourTV 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 this TV set.  
Power  
Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hertz (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 will not 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  
either the TV or the radio.  
• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received  
due to the interference of the TV.  
L
Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control  
To use the remote control, insert batteries first.  
Insert the batteries  
Pull up  
Battery  
Cover  
• With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the back cover. Insert two  
batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery e/d terminals with the e/d 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:

Antenna Connections (Continued)  
F-type connector  
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).  
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)  
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).  
OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION  
• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect 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 COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear of the  
TV set.

• 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 cableTV 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.

Caption” is a system which allows you to view conversations, narration,  
and sound effects in TV programs and home videos as subscript on  
your TV screen as shown on the right.  
• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed caption. Please look  
for the “  
” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.  
VOLUME  
(+)/(–)  
• Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION  
andTEXT.For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2:  
CHANNEL  
UP (8)/  
DOWN (9)  
The [CAPTION] mode subscripts dialogues 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.

Note:  
• If a broadcast has 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 set.  
• If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION  
broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.  
• When viewing in TEXT mode, if no TEXT broadcast is being received, for some programs the screen  
may become dark and blank. Should this occur, set the Closed Caption mode to “OFF”.

L 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 ofTV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program’s MPAA  
rating and theTV 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.
