IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING USE OF VIDEO GAMES,
COMPUTERS, DSS OR OTHER FIXED IMAGE DISPLAYS.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow
image” on the picture tube. This background image is viewable on normal programs in
the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible picture tube deterioration
can be limited by observing the following steps:
A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.
Note: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from fixed image use is not
an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not
designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods of time.
Read these instructions completely before operating TV.

I NSTALLATION
Installation
Television Location
This unit is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your
dealer for available options.
• Avoid excessive sunlight or bright lights, including reflections.
• Keep away from excessive heat or moisture. Inadequate ventilation may cause internal
component failure.
• Fluorescent lighting may reduce remote control transmitting range.
• Avoid magnetic equipment, including motors, fans, or external speakers.
CAUTION: Use this television receiver only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When
a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over. In order to avoid injury to children, never place your
television receiver on a piece of furniture that is capable of being tilted by a child
leaning on it, pulling on it, standing on it, or climbing on it.
Optional Cable Connections
Shielded audio and video cables should be used between components. For best results:
• Use 75-ohm coaxial shielded cables.
• Use appropriate input and output connectors that match your component connectors.
• Avoid long cables to minimize interference.
AC Power Supply Cord
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO
WIDE SLOT OF AC OUTLET AND FULLY INSERT. DO NOT USE A PLUG WITH A
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADE CAN BE FULLY
INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE. FOR SOME MODELS THAT ARE
NON-POLARIZED, THE USE OF AN AC ADAPTOR CONNECTOR MAY
BE NECESSARY.
PROTECT POWER CORDS FROM BEING WALKED ON, ROLLED OVER, CRIMPED, BENT OR
PINCHED, PARTICULARLY AT PLUGS, CONVENIENCE RECEPTACLES, AND THE POINT WHERE
THEY EXIT FROM THE APPARATUS.
Cable / Antenna
For proper reception, either a cable or antenna connection is required.
Cable Connection
Connect the cable supplied by your local cable company.
Note: A cable converter box may be required for proper reception.
Check with your local cable company for compatibility
requirements.
Antenna Connection
• For proper reception of VHF/UHF channels, an external
antenna is required. For best reception an outdoor antenna
is recommended.
•Antenna Mode must be set to TV in the SETUP menu.
Note: Cable Mode is preset at the factory. Antenna users must change
to Antenna Mode in the Setup Menu.

Programming The Remote
The Universal Remote Control can be programmed to operate many manufacturers’
components, using the component function buttons for CABLE, DBS, VCR, or DVD. Follow the
procedures for programming your Remote Control with or without codes for the component.
Determine the manufacturer of the component and look in the table for the code.
With A Code
• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and on.
• Turn the component off.
• Press the ACTION and POWER button, together, for at least 5 seconds.
• Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control (VCR, DBS/CBL, or DVD).
• Enter the 3-digit component code using the Remote Control numeric keypad (0 ~
9 buttons).
• Press the Remote Control POWER button to test the component. If the procedure was
successful, the component will turn on.
Without A Code
This procedure searches all codes and is called the “sequence method”.
• Confirm that the external component is plugged in and on.
• Turn the component off.
• Press the ACTION and POWER button, together, for at least 5 seconds.
• Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control.
•Pressthe button to move forward to the next code. Press the button to move
backward.
• Press the Remote Control POWER button to test the component. If the procedure was
successful, the component will turn on.
Note: Repeat the above steps until the component code is found. It may take many
attempts before the correct code is found.
• After the code is found, press the ACTION button to store the code.
Helpful Hints: Unsuccessful Code
If the component does not operate with the
Remote Control, repeat the procedure using
another code. (Some brands have multiple codes.)
If an incorrect code is entered, or if the procedure
takes longer than 30 seconds, the programming
will fail.
Write the code numbers from tables in this space. This will serve as a
reference if you need to program your Remote Control.
