ANTENNA
Unless your TV is connected to a Cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good
outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for the best performance However, if you are
located in a strong signal area that is free from interference and ghost conditions (multipath),
an indoor antenna may be sufficient
LOCATION
Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture
screen
Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back
cover of the set
NOTES
Never remove the back cover of the set This can expose you to very high voltage and other
hazards
If the set does not operate properly, unplug it and call your dealer or service shop
VIEWING
This color TV may be viewed from any desired distance Most viewers prefer a distance of
three to six feet or more depending on screen size for maximum eye comfort

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup
When connecting the 75 ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the
COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR
Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels" Since the signals of these premium
pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the
subscriber by the cable TV company This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal
viewing of the scrambled channels (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, as typically one of these
channels is used If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company One possible method of
utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below )
"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied)
You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV's channel keys
"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied)
You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler using the converter's
channel keys

ANTENNA CONNECTION
ANTENNA
The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those
for black & white television reception For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is
strongly recommended
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various
antenna systems:
OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION
Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna
A : Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna
B : Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna
Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear
of the TV set
1 A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable
with F-type connector that can easily be
attached to a terminal without tools
2 A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable
that can be attached to a 75 ohm terminal
through a 300-75 ohm ADAPTOR

The most common types of television interference are as follows:
IGNITION :
Black spots or horizontal lines may appear; picture may flutter or
drift Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition
systems, neon lamps, electric drills and other electric appliances
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths One
is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills
or other objects Changing the direction or position of the antenna
may improve the reception
SNOW:
If you are located on the fringes of a television reception area, the
signal will be weak, and your picture may contain many small dots
When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install
an external antenna to improve the picture
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and
in some cases causes loss of contrast in the picture
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION:
A slight variation in picture size is normal when you adjust the
CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS controls
To prevent fire of shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning
The finish on the receiver may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture
Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts Mild soap and a soft, damp cloth may be
used
NOTE: If you subscribe to a cable service and any these symptoms appear, the problem may
be caused by the cable company
