.

PROPER

INSTALLATION

IS

ESSENTIAL FOR

PEAK

PERFORMANCE

Unlike many

appliances,

the

installation

of

a

color

television

receiver

in

your home

requires

more than merely "plugging

in".

A

trained

Magnavox

service

technician,

in

making

the

installation,

will

carefully

check

and,

if

necessary,

adjust

the

setting

of

the

rear-cabinet

controls

to

be

sure

that

both

color

and

black-and-white

TV

pictures

are

reproduced with

finest

possible

detail

and

color

fidelity

.

COLOR

PURIFIER

...

A Color

Purifier

circuit

has

been

incorporated

to

virtually

eliminate

magnetic

field

effects

.

This

innovation

permits

movement of the instrument from one room

to

another

without

adversely

affecting

color

picture

quality

.

YOUR INSTALLATION

MAN

WILL

...

CONNECT

AND

CHECK YOUR

ANTENNA

...

Perhaps

your

pres-

ent

antenna

will

furnish

satisfactory

color

signals;

if

not, he will recom-

mend a new

antenna

designed

for

best

possible

reception

in your

area.

ANTENNA

The

picture

on your TV

screen

can

only

be

as

good

as

the

signal

received.

Your

antenna

system

receives

the

signal

and.

therefore

is

an important

factor

of

clear

re-

ception

.

This

is

also

true

of

radio

reception.

The

built-in

FM

antenna

incorporated

in your Magnavox instrument

will provide

excellent

local

reception

in many

areas

. How-

ever,

for

very

finest

results

i

an

outdoor

antenna

is

recommended.

If

a new

antenna

is

desired,

your Magnavox

dealer

can

recommend and

install

the

proper

type

for your

area.

Whenever an

..

You

have

in

veste

d

in

a

fine

piece

of furniture,

designed

and

built

by Magnavox

to

the

very

highest

standards

of

the

furniture

industry

.

Up

to

nine

coats

of

tested

finishes

are

applied

to

each

genuine

wood

cabinet

and

hand rubbed

to

a smooth,

lustrous

finish

.

Nature

creates

but

never

duplicates

. However,

variations

in

natural

figure and

color

tones

constitute

the

inherent

beauties

of wood. No two

trees

are

identical

in

these

respects.

Quite

naturally

these

inherent

beauties

and

differences

go into furniture by way of ,woods

used

in

the

making

of

furniture. Time and

light

will

change

color

tones

of woods and

finishes,

just

as

the

woodwork

of

your home

continues

to

change.

Even

though we

use

the

best

finishing

materials

known

to

the

indust

ry we

cannot

guarantee

fastness

of

color

for

the

foregoing

reasons.

Keep

your

cabinet

clean

and

polished

to

retain

the

beauty

of

the

finish.

Use a

slightly

dampened

cloth

to

clean

the

cabinet

and

dry it thoroughly with a

clean

dry

cloth

.

Apply an

occasional

co

at

of Magnavox furniture

polish,

with

a

clean

dry

cloth,

free

of

other

chemicals

or

cleaning

agents.

Avoid

using

polish

containing

detergents

or

alkaline

bases.

RECORD

CARE

...

With

all

of

the

precision

and

care

that

has

been

employed

in

the

design

and

manufacture

of

this

instrument,

phonograph

reproduction

can

be

no

better

than

the

quality

of

the

phonograph

record

itself.

A

record

that

is

warped,

scratched

or

otherwise

damaged

or

is

not free of

surface

dust

will

not

provide

accurate

transfer

of

the

recorded

music

it

contains

. Give

your

high

fidelity

records

all

the

care

that

a

precision

made

product

deserves.

When

this

instrument

is

not

in

use,

all

records

should

be

removed

from

the

record

spindle.

If

records

are

permitted

to

remain

on

the

spindle

for

any

length

of time

other

than

during normal

operation

of

the

instrument

they

may

become

warped.

When

storing

records

they

should

either

be

placed

in

their

albums

or

laid

flat

on

an

even

surface.

A

record

should

never

stand

on

end

unless

it

is

in

an

album;

otherwise

it

may

warp

. Most

present

day

records

are

housed

in

a

protective

envelope

and a

cardboard

album

jacket.

Records

should

be

kept

in

their

envelopes

when

not

in

use

to

keep

them

dust-free

and

protect

the

grooves

from

scratches

and

abrasions.

Extra

protective

envelopes

can

be

purchased

from your

music

dealer

.

Periodically

clean

your

records

by

gently

wlpmg

the

grooves

with

a

water-dampened

soft

lint-free

cloth.

Also,

periodically

check

and remove

any

accumulated

dust

or

lint

from

around

the

needle

.

MAINTENANCE

..

.

Your

new

Magnavox Color

instrument

has

been

designed

to

give

long,

dependable

operation.

All

components

operate

well

within

their

ratings,

providing

a

high

safety

facto

r.

However,

excessive

heat

can

seriously

damage

many

of

the

components

in

your

instrument.

Perforations

in

the

bottom

and

on

the

back

of

the

instrument

provide

adequate

ventilation

to

prevent

such

damage.

When

locating

the

instrument

in your

room,

avoid

warm

air

outlets

or

built-in

arrangements

which

would

restrict

airflow

in

and

around

the

perforations.

If

your Magnavox

Color

instrument

requires

service,

contact

your

factory

authorized

Magnavox

dealer

or

h.

is

service

agent.

Factory

trained

service

men,

completely

experienced

in

the

repair

of Magnavox

instruments,

can

quickly

and

efficiently

correct

your problem.

Insist

on

genuine

Magnavox

parts

as

they

assure

you

of
