manufactured to assure your personal safety. But improper use can result in potential
electrical shock or fire hazards In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this
TV set, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing. Also fellow all
warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.
INSTALLATION
1Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one
blade of the plug is wider than the other). This safety feature
allows the plug to fit into the power outlet only one way.
Should you be unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. Should it still fail to fit, contact your
electrician
(POLARIZED-TYPE)
2Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the
operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer
to the operating instructions.
3Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords
and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service technician for
replacement.
4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV set
where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.
5 Do not use this TV set near water -- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.
6If an outside antenna isconnected to the TV set, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to 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 requirements for the grounding electrode.

digital-in terminal of this television, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in
their digital form. (This terminal is for use in the future when high bandwidth digital content
protection DTV decoders and DVD players and D-VHS are put on the market)
After the connections
ave been made,
1) Connect the DTV DIGITAL RGB OUTPUT TERMINAL to the DIGITAL INPUT TERMINAL of
the television, and then tighten the 2 screws.
2) Connect the DTV decoder LEFT AUDIO OUTPUT to the DIGITAL-IN LEFT AUDIO INPUT.
3) Connect the DTV decoder RIGHT AUDIO OUTPUT to the DIGITAL-IN RIGHT AUDIO
