Location
o For normal operation, your TV 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°
o 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.
- 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.)
o 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.
Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control
To use the remote control, insert batteries first
Inserting the batteries
Pull up Battery
Cover
o With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the battery cover. Insert two
batteries (size "AA"). Be sure to match the battery O/O terminals with the O/O marks inside the
compartment..

Antennas
o 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 flat "twin-lead"cable that
can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a
300175-ohm ADAPTOR (not supplied)
F4ype connector
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 VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenn&
B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.
o Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT/CABLE terminal on the rear of the TV set,

If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV
set
(The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)
oA 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.
o Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels'L 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 converteddescrambler 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 (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 converted
descrambler using the converter's channel keys.
