TIPS IF SOMETHING ISNT WORKING  
CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or  
lease make these simple  
TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen,  
can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source  
the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image  
permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF.  
Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.  
Pchecks before calling for ser-  
vice. These tips can save you  
time and money since charges for  
TV installation and adjustment of  
customer controls are not cov-  
ered under your warranty.  
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into  
outlet and push POWER button again.  
• Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.  
No Power  
No Picture  
• Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT/CABLE plug ?  
• Check the TUNING ANTENNA/CABLE control for correct position.  
• Check INPUT control for correct position. The EXT 1 position with out a signal  
source will result in a blank screen.  
• Check the VOLUME buttons.  
• Check VOLUME LIMIT control.  
• Check the MUTE button on the remote control.  
• If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections.  
No Sound  
• Check batteries. Replace with AAA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries  
if necessary.  
• Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV.  
• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into  
outlet and push POWER button again.

• Repeat channel selection.  
• Add desired channel numbers (CHANNEL EDIT control) into TV memory.  
• Check TUNING ANTENNA/CABLE control for correct position.  
This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate  
power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button  
once or twice, or unplug (wait 10 seconds) and then replug the power cord at the AC  
outlet. This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such  
as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.  
Cleaning and Care  
• To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.  
• When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using  
anything abrasive). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when  
cleaning.  
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a clean  
dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.  
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.  
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring  
of the cabinet finish.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS  
Round Cable 75* A single solid antenna wire normally  
Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel  
numbers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this way the  
Television “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired  
channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.  
matched with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or  
pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or  
VCR. (Also known as Coaxial Cable.)  
Closed Caption * Broadcast standard which allows you to read  
the voice content of television programs on the TV screen.  
Designed to help the hearing impaired this feature uses on-screen  
"text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while the TV pro-  
gram is in progress.  
Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the  
Television control panel through which infrared remote control  
command signals are received.  
Setup Mode * Automatic feature control settings made by the TV.  
Designed for first time set-up and use. Settings for signal connec-  
tions (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory are  
held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and moved  
to a new location.)  
Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these con-  
nectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio  
and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other acces-  
sories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound  
connection options.  
Status/Exit * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel  
number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear  
the Television of on screen displays or information (rather than  
waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear  
from the screen).  
On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages  
generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific  
feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).  
Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the  
Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.  
Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two  
strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor  
antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires  
an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm  
Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and  
VCRs.  
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard  
that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.
