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 the TV set.

Power

YourTV 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.

• 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 m/, terminals with the m/, 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:

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)

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).

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.

• 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 theTV’s

channel keys.

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”.

Operation of Universal Remote Control

“Identifying” VCRs, cable TV converters

Universal Remote Control

•

and DVDs

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.

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.

Note:

• 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.

• Depending on the model year produced, brand

and type ofVCR, cableTV converter and DVD,

some models may not be compatible with the

remote control.

• This identifying step will not have to be

repeated until power to the Remote is

interrupted due to a battery failure.

• Some brands may not enable channel

selection until the ENTER is pressed. In such

case, try the following.

Example:

Using your remote control with a VCR

•

When you select channel 24,

(1) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “2”.

(2) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “4”.

(3) Press ENTER.

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.

For detailed information on the use of the

CableTV converter Box refer to their operating

manuals.

• All VCR buttons will operate whether the

Remote is in TV or VCR modes.

• For detailed information on the use of theVCR

or DVD, refer to the operation manual of the

VCR or DVD.

Using your Remote with your TV

•

After installing the batteries, set the CATV/
