unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna.This will prevent
damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact
with them might be fatal.
17. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
18. Never push objects of any kind into this television equipment through cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid

under the following conditions:
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the television equipment.
C. If the television equipment has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the television equipment does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the television equipment to normal operation.
E. If the television equipment has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
R When the television equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance -- this indicates a need for

Location
• For normal operation, yourTV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation
is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.
• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys using
magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from the TV set.
Power
Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it fail to fit, contact an
electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.
!Note: >
• If the set is not going to be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the
wall outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the
POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)
• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near
the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn off the
radio.
• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received
due to interference from the TV.

Antennas
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:
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with
F-type connector that can easily be attached to
a terminal without tools (not supplied).
2. A 300-ohm system is a fiat"twin-lead" cable that
can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a
300/75-0hm ADAPTOR (not supplied).
F-typeconnector
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
Refer to one of the following two diagrams when connecting to an outdoor antenna.
A: Using a VHP/UHP combination outdoor antenna.
B: Using separate VHP and/or UHF outdoor antenna.
Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT/CABLE terminal on the rear of theTV set.

When connecting the RF cable to theTV set, do not
tighten F-type connector with tools.
If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV
set.
(The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)
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 on channel 3 or 4. Typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown,
consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your
cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your
cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.
"A" position on the RF switch (net 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.
