To operate your receiver at the peak performance, please read this Instruction
Manual carefully and retain it for the future reference.
• Place this unit on a flat, level surface and in a dry area free from dust and
moisture.
• Adequate ventilation must be provided to prevent heat building up inside of
the unit. Do not build this set into a bookcase or other enclosure in which it
would be poorly ventilated
• Do not place liquids including flower vases and vessels filled with chemicals
or water, etc. on the top of the unit. Keep the inside of the unit free from
foreign objects such as hairpins. If hazardous objects fall inside of the unit,
unplug it immediately and call a qualified technician for removal.
• Do not remove the back cover of the TV set. Accidental contact with high
voltage components could result in electric shock.
• If your set produces sound but no picture, or it emits smoke or produces a
strange sound or smell, continuous operation is very dangerous. Immediately
remove the power plug from the socket and contact your service centre.
• When you don't use the set for an extended period during vacation or other
occasions, always make sure of switching off the MAIN POWER SWITCH of
the TV set.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
NOTE :
If the receiver is moved or placed in a different direction, the MAIN
POWER SWITCH must be switched off for at least 15 minutes in
order to take out a colour strain on the screen.

In order to receive a true colour reproduction, an effective antenna installation is the
most important. Please make sure that your antenna is correctly connected.
• When using an external antenna, the antenna is usually connected to the TV set by
means of 75 ohm coaxial antenna cable.
To make the connection, first attach a suitable coaxial plug to the antenna cable and
then insert the plug into the antenna terminal on the rear of the TV set.
If your antenna system is used with 300 ohm parallel feeder, connect the feeder to a
300 ohm 75 ohm conversion plug and insert the plug into the TV set antenna
terminal.
