- When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information
about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Setting
CAUTION
Follow all operating and use
instructions.
Do not use the TV where contact with
or immersion in water is a possibility,
such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing
machines, swimming pools, etc.
Avoid overhead power lines. An outside
antenna system should not be placed in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits or where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system,
be extremely careful to keep from touching
the power lines or circuits. Contact with
such lines can be fatal.
NO!!
Bend antenna cable between inside
and outside building to prevent rain
from flowing in.
- This may cause water damaged inside
the TV and could give an electric shock.
Do not place an outside antenna in the
vicinity of overhead power lines, or
other electric light or power circuits.
- This may cause an electric shock.
There should be enough distance
between an outside antenna and
power lines to keep the former from
touching the latter even when the
antenna falls.
- This may cause an electric shock.
NO!!
THIS MAY CAUSE WATER DAMAGED
INSIDE THE TV AND COULD GIVE AN
ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Notes
•To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance (over 3m) between the VCR and TV.
• When connecting the TV with external equipment, match the colour of connecting ports (e.g. Video -Yellow,
Audio(L) - White, Audio(R) - Red).
•If you have a mono VCR, connect the audio cable from the VCR to the AUDIO (L/Mono) input of the TV.
• If you connect an S-VHS VCR to the S-VIDEO input socket, you can get a better picture quality than normal video
input (AV).
