particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point  
where they exit from the apparatus.

electronic 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.  
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be  
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away  
from power lines.  
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is  
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is  
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage  
surges and built up static charges.  
12.  
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table  
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the app-  
aratus. When a cart is used, use caution when  
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid  
injury from tip-over.  
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when  
unused for long periods of time.

HOOKING UP YOUR TV (BASIC CABLE TV CONNECTIONS)  
our Cable TV input into your  
Yhome may be a single (75 ohm)  
cable, or a Converter Box installa-  
tion. In either case the connection to  
the TV is very easy. Just put the  
threaded end of the cable signal to  
the TV's antenna plug and screw it  
down finger tight.  
If your Cable TV signal is a single  
round cable (75 ohm) then you're  
ready to connect to the TV.  
If you have a Cable Converter Box:  
Connect the Cable TV signal to the  
Cable Signal IN(put) plug on the  
75  
Converter.  
Connect the Cable TV cable to the  
75plug on the TV.  
If you have a Cable Converter Box:  
Connect the OUT(put) plug from the  
Converter to the 75plug on the TV.

Note: For homes with separate UHF and VHF antennas  
you will need an optional combiner to connect to the TV.  
(VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your  
connection is easy since there is  
only one 75(ohm) antenna plug  
on the back of your TV - and thats

If your antenna has a round cable  
(75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready

If your antenna has flat twin-lead wire  
(300 ohm), you first need to attach the  
75-300 Ohm Adapter  
antenna wires to the screws on a 300 to  
75 ohm adapter.  
Push the round end of the adapter  
(or antenna) onto the 75plug on the

UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCK CONTROLS  
he AutoLock feature is an inte-  
Tgrated circuit that receives and  
processes data sent by broadcast-  
ers, or other program providers,  
that contain program content advi-  
sories. When programmed by the  
viewer, a TV with AutoLock can  
respond to the content advisories  
and block program content that  
may be found objectionable (such  
as offensive language, violence,  
sexual situations, etc.). This is a  
great feature to censor the type of  
viewing children may watch.

the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the  
use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.
