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  
Your TV 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 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 interference from the TV.

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:  
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).  
F-type connector  
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).

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.  
Aposition on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view all unscrambled channels using theTVs  
channel keys.

Closed Caption  
L
HOWTO SET CLOSED CAPTION  
Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. Closed  
Captionis 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.  
Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION  
and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2:  
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.

Parental Control (V-CHIP Operation)  
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 of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the programs  
MPAA rating and the TV 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.

Operation of Universal Remote Control  
IdentifyingVCRs, 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/  
DVD-TV/VCR on the Remote to the TV  
position.(If you can change the channel of the  
TV by pressing CH a/s on the Remote  
Control, it is in the TV position.)

MEDIDAS DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES  
PRECAUCIÓN :  
Lea por favor todas estas instrucciones antes de poner en funcionamiento  
su televisor, y guárdelas para poder utilizarlas en el futuro.  
La energía eléctrica permite realizar muchas funciones útiles. Este aparato ha sido diseñado y fabricado para  
garantizar su seguridad física. Sin embargo, UNA UTILIZACIÓN INAPROPIADA PODRÍA SER LA CAUSA DE  
DESCARGAS ELÉCTRICAS O INCENDIOS. Para mantener el buen funcionamiento de este equipo y evitar  
problemas, siga las normas básicas indicadas a continuación cuando lo instale, utilice o repare.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Desenchufe el televisor del tomacorriente antes de limpiarlo.  
No utilice líquidos ni aerosoles de limpieza. Para limpiar el televisor utilice un paño húmedo.  
No utilice accesorios que no los recomiende el fabricante del televisor porque podrían causar peligros.  
No utilice el televisor cerca del agua – por ejemplo, cerca de una bañera, lavado, fregadero o lavadora, en  
un sótano húmedo, cerca de una piscina, etc.  
5.  
No utilice este televisor sobre un carrito, un soporte o una mesa inestables. El televisor podría caerse  
causando serías heridas a niños o adultos, y, por supuesto, el aparato se estropearía. Ponga el televisor  
solamente sobre un carrito o soporte recomendado por el fabricante, o vendido junto con  
el televisor.  
6.  
La combinación de carrito y televisor debe moverse con mucho cuidado. Las paradas  
rápidas, la fuerza excesiva y las superficies irregulares pueden ser la causa de que la  
combinación de televisor y carrito se volteen.  
7.  
8.  
Cuando instale el televisor en una pared o en una estantería siga las instrucciones del  
fabricante, y utilice el kit de montaje aprobado por el fabricante.  
Las ranuras y aberturas de la caja y del panel posterior o inferior sirven para la ventilación del aparato, para  
que éste funcione bien y para evitar que se caliente.Estas aberturas no deben taparse nunca.Este televisor  
no debe colocarse en un lugar cerrado (como un estante para libros) si éste no dispone de la ventilación  
apropiada.  
9.  
Las aberturas no deben taparse nunca con un paño u otro material; y las aberturas del panel inferior no  
deben taparse tampoco colocando el televisor sobre una cama, sofá, alfombra u otra superficie similar.  
Este televisor no debe ponerse nunca cerca o encima de un radiador u otro aparato que produzca calor.  
10. Este televisor sólo debe funcionar con la fuente de corriente indicada en la etiqueta del fabricante. Si no  
está seguro acerca del tipo de corriente de su hogar, póngase en contacto con el concesionario de quien  
adquirió el televisor o con la compañía eléctrica local.  
En el caso de equipos de televisión diseñados para funcionar con baterías, consulte las instrucciones de  
uso.  
11. Como medida de seguridad, el equipo de televisión está equipado con un enchufe polarizado de dos hilos.  
El enchufe polarizado de dos hilos solamente calza de una sola manera en el tomacorriente.  
Si el enchufe no entra en el tomacorriente, pídale a un electricista que le coloque un tomacorriente nuevo.  
No modifique el enchufe porque anulará esta característica de seguridad.  
12. No permita que se apoye nada sobre el cable de alimentación. No ponga este televisor donde el cable  
pueda ser deformado por personas que caminen sobre él.

MEDIDAS DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES (Continuación)  
13. Cumpla con todos los avisos y las instrucciones marcados en el televisor.  
14.  
Si se conecta una antena exterior al televisor, asegúrese de que el sistema de antena esté conectado a  
tierra para obtener cierta protección ante los aumentos de voltaje y la acumulación de cargas estáticas.  
La sección 810 del Código Eléctrico Nacional ofrece información relacionada con la conexión a tierra  
correcta del poste y la estructura de apoyo, la conexión a tierra del cable de entrada a una unidad de  
descarga, el tamaño de los conductores de conexión a tierra, la ubicación de la unidad de descarga de  
antena, la conexión a los electrodos de conexión a tierra, y los requisitos para el electrodo de conexión a  
tierra.  
15. Para proteger aún más este televisor durante tormentas eléctricas o cuando se deje sin atender y sin  
utilizar durante largos periodos de tiempo, desenchufe el cable de alimentación del tomacorriente y  
desconecte la antena. Esto evitará que el aparato pueda estropearse debido a los relámpagos y la  
sobretensión en la línea de alimentación.  
16. Un sistema de antena exterior no debe ubicarse cerca de líneas de alimentación elevadas, ni cerca de  
luces eléctricas o circuitos de alimentación.Tampoco debe ubicarse donde pueda caer sobre tales líneas  
o circuitos de alimentación. Cuando instale un sistema de antena exterior, tenga muchísimo cuidado  
para no tocar las líneas o circuitos de alimentación porque el contacto podría causar un accidente mortal.  
17. No sobrecargue los tomacorrientes ni los cables de extensión porque esto podría causar un incendio o  
descarga eléctrica.  
18. No meta nunca ningún objeto en el interior del televisor porque podría tocar piezas con alta tensión o  
causar un cortocircuito con otras piezas causando un incendio o descarga eléctrica. No derrame nunca  
ningún tipo de líquido sobre el televisor.  
19. No trate de reparar el televisor usted mismo porque al abrir o quitar las tapas podría exponerse a una  
descarga de tensión u otros peligros.Las reparaciones debe realizarlas el personal de servicio CALIFICADO.  
20. Desenchufe este televisor del tomacorriente y solicite el servicio de un técnico calificado cuando se  
produzcan las condiciones siguientes:  
A. Cuando el cable de la alimentación o el enchufe estén estropeados.  
B. Cuando haya derramado un líquido sobre el televisor.  
C. Si el televisor ha quedado expuesto a la lluvia o al agua.  
D. Si el televisor no funciona normalmente siguiendo las instrucciones de utilización. Ajuste solamente  
los controles indicados en las instrucciones de utilización. Un ajuste inadecuado de otros controles  
podría estropear el aparato y, entonces, sería necesario acudir a un técnico CALIFICADO para que  
éste lo repare y lo devuelva a su condición normal.  
E. Si el televisor se ha caído o la caja se ha estropeado.  
F. Cuando las prestaciones del televisor cambien considerablemente será necesario llamar al servicio  
de reparaciones.  
21. Al finalizar cualquier servicio o reparación de este televisor, pida al técnico de servicio que realice  
comprobaciones de seguridad rutinarias para determinar si el televisor puede funcionar sin causar ningún  
problema.  
22. Cuando sea necesario cambiar piezas, cerciórese de que el técnico de servicio utiliza las piezas de  
CAMBIO especificadas por el fabricante, aquellas que tengan las mismas características que las piezas  
originales. Las piezas de recambio no autorizadas pueden causar incendios, descargas eléctricas u

les pour un usage ultérieur.  
Lénergie électrique peut exécuter de nombreuses fonctions utiles. Cet appareil a été conçu et fabriqué de façon  
à garantir votre entière sécurité. CEPENDANT, TOUTE UTILISATION INADEQUATE PEUT ENTRAINER DES  
RISQUES D’ELECTROCUTION OU D’INCENDIE.Afin de ne pas détruire les protections intégrées à cet appareil,  
respectez les règles de base suivantes pour son installation, son utilisation et sa maintenance.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Débranchez la télévision avant de la nettoyer.  
N’utilisez pas de nettoyants liquides ou d’aérosols et utilisez un chiffon humide.  
N’utilisez pas d’accessoires déconseillés par le fabricant de matériel vidéo, car ils impliquent des risques.  
N’utilisez pas cette télévision à proximité d’eau — par exemple, près d’une baignoire, d’un lavabo, d’un  
évier ou d’un bac à laver, dans une cave humide ou près d’une piscine, etc.  
5.  
Ne placez pas cet équipement sur un chariot, un support ou une table instable. La télévision peut tomber  
et provoquer de graves lésions à toute personne et causer de sérieux dommages à l’équipement. Utilisez  
uniquement un support ou un chariot recommandé par le fabricant ou vendu avec la  
télévision.  
6.  
7.  
8.  
Lensemble télévision-chariot doit être déplacé délicatement. Les arrêts brusques, une  
force excessive et des surfaces inégales peuvent renverser l’ensemble.  
Linstallation au mur ou sur une tablette doit être réalisée conformément aux instructions  
du fabricant et à l’aide d’un kit de montage approuvé par ce dernier.  
Les fentes et les ouvertures du châssis à l’arrière ou dans la partie inférieure sont prévus pour la ventilation.  
Pour garantir un fonctionnement fiable de la télévision et pour la protéger de toute surchauffe, ces ouvertures  
ne doivent être ni obturées, ni recouvertes. La télévision ne doit pas être placée dans un endroit encastré  
tel qu’une bibliothèque, sauf si une ventilation adéquate est prévue.  
9.  
Les ouvertures ne doivent jamais être recouvertes par un chiffon ou autre et celles de la partie inférieure  
ne doivent jamais être obturées si vous placez la télévision sur un lit, un sofa, un tapis ou toute surface  
similaire. Cette télévision ne doit être placée ni à proximité d’un radiateur ou d’un registre de chaleur, ni

15. Pour tout ajout de protection à votre télévision en cas de foudre ou lorsque elle reste en veille et inutilisée  
pendant de longues périodes, débranchez-la et déconnectez l’antenne.Vous éviterez ainsi des dommages  
à votre équipement suite à la foudre et des poussées de tension.  
16. Un système d’antenne extérieure ne doit pas être situé à proximité de lignes aériennes ou d’autres  
groupes électrogènes ou circuits électriques ou dans des emplacements où l’antenne pourrait tomber sur  
ce type de lignes ou circuits. Lors de l’installation d’un système d’antenne extérieure, faites extrêmement  
attention à ne pas entrer en contact avec ces lignes ou circuits, car cela pourrait vous être fatal.  
17. Ne surchargez pas les prises et les prolongateurs de ligne afin d’éviter tout risque d’incendie ou  
d’électrocution.  
18. N’introduisez jamais d’objets à travers les fentes du châssis, car ils pourraient entrer en contact avec des  
points de tension dangereux ou des pièces court-circuitées et provoquer ainsi un incendie ou une  
électrocution. Ne répandez jamais de liquides sur la télévision.  
19. N’essayez pas de réparer vous-même votre télévision. Louverture ou le retrait des capots peut vous  
exposer à une tension dangereuse ou à d’autres risques. Confiez toutes les opérations de maintenance  
à un personnel qualifié.  
20. Lorsque vous êtes confronté aux situations suivantes, débranchez la télévision et confiez toutes les  
opérations de maintenance à un personnel qualifié :  
A. lorsque le cordon d’alimentation ou la fiche est endommagé ou effiloché ;  
B. si du liquide a été répandu sur/dans la télévision ;  
C. si la télévision a été exposée à la pluie ou à l’eau ;  
D. si la télévision ne fonctionne pas normalement même en respectant le mode d’emploi. Réglez  
uniquement les commandes abordées par le mode d’emploi. Des réglages inappropriés d’autres  
commandes peuvent occasionner des dommages et nécessiteront ensuite, dans la plupart des cas,  
une intervention plus importante d’un technicien qualifié pour que la télévision fonctionne  
normalement ;  
E. si la télévision a été renversée ou que le châssis est endommagé ;  
F. lorsque la télévision présente une altération visible des performances — cela indique un besoin de  
maintenance.  
21. Pour toute maintenance ou réparation de la télévision, demandez au technicien de réaliser des contrôles  
de sécurité classiques afin de déterminer si la télévision est en bon état de marche.  
22. Lorsqu’un remplacement de pièces se révèle nécessaire, veillez à ce que le technicien utilise des pièces  
de rechange spécifiées par le fabricant et qu’elles aient les mêmes caractéristiques que la pièce d’origine.  
Des remplacements non autorisés peuvent occasionner un incendie, une électrocution ou d’autres risques.

Remarque:  
• Les boutons ombrés de la télécommande illustrés ci-dessus brillent dans l’obscurité lorsque la télécommande a  
été placée sous une ampoule fluorescente ou toute autre source lumineuse.  
• Le matériau phosphorescent n’est absolument pas toxique ou radioactif. Il peut donc être utilisé en toute sécurité.  
• Le degré d’illumination variera en fonction de l’intensité de la source d’éclairage.  
• Le degré d’illumination diminuera avec le temps, en fonction de la température.  
• Le temps requis pour charger les touches phosphorescentes dépendra de l’éclairage environnant.  
• Les rayons directs du soleil et les luminaires fluorescents constituent les meilleures sources de chargement des  
touches phosphorescentes.
