Important Safety Information
To redlme the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other it_jlMes, keep these safety precalltions in
mind when installing, using, and maintaining yollr machine.Read all safety and operating
insmlctions befbre operating the TV receiver.
• Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
• Heed all warnings on the TV receiver and in the operating instructions.
• Follow all operating instructions.
• Unphlg the TV receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning, Use a damp cloth, Do riot use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
• Never add any attacl-lments and/or equipmerlt without approval of the manufacturer. Such additiorls
may cause risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal ii_ur?:
• Do not use the TV receiver where corltact with or immersion irl water is a possibilit)a such as rlear bath
tubs, sinks, washing machirles, swimming pools, etc.
• Do not place the TV receiver on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV receiver may

table not recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the TV receiver.
• Follow the marlufhcturer_ irlstructions when mourlting the Ill-lit,and use a i'i]otlnting accessory recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Move the TV receiverand its cartwith care. Quick stops, excessiveforce,
and lJrleverl slJrfaces Inay cause the IJnit and cart to overturn.
• Provide ventilation for the TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to
protect it from overheating.
Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofh, rug, or
other similar surface.
Do not place it near aradiator or heatregister. If you place the TV receiveron arack or bookcase,
ensurethat there is adequateventilation and that you've followed the manufhcturer_ instructions for
IrlOtlIlting.
• Operateyour TV receiveronly from the Wpeof power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, corlsult your appliarlce dealer or local power
COI]]parl_
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety:this TV is equipped with a polarized alternat-
ing-currerlt line plug having one blade wider tharl the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way: If you are unable to insert the phlg flflly into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they will
not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular
attentiorl to cord placemerlt at phlgs, converlience receptacles,
and at the point where they exit from the unit.
• Unphlg the TV receiver frorn the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system during a lightning storm or wherl left urlatterlded arid unused for
long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to ligbtnirg and
power-line surges.
• An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other elec-
tric light or power circuits or where it can fhll into such power lines or circuits. Avoid overhead power
lines: When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careflfl to keep flora touching the
power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines might be fatal. Do not overload the wall outlet or exten-
sion cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not insert foreign oinjects through opel-tings in the unit, as they may touch dangerous voltages or
cause damage. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV receiver.
SAI:ETY *1

• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable sys-
tem is connected to the TV receiver, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage stages and built-up static charges. Read infGr-
marion 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 to grounding electrodes,
and requirements ['or the grounding electrode.
• Do not attempt to service the TV receiver yourself. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug the unit flora

- When the powe>supply cord or plug is damaged
-Ifliquid has been spilled on the unit or if oI_ects have fallen into the TV
- If the TV receiver has been exposed to rain or water
- If the TV receiver does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
- If the TV receiver has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
- When the TV receiver exhibits a distinct degradation in performance
If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
Adjusting other conuols may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified techni-
cian to restore the TV receiver to normal.When replacement parts are required, be sure the service techni-
cian uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.
