•Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote
control unit to liquids, and do not place
in an area with high humidity.
•Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause
deformation of the remote control unit.
•The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on the TV
is
under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or
the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on the
TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor may
prevent proper operation.
To enjoy aclearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is abrief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for acoaxial cable.
If your outdoor antenna uses a75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,
plug
it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.
1.A 75-ohm system is generally around cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to aterminal
without tools (Commercially available).

2.A 300-ohm system is aflat "twin-lead" cable that can be
attached to a75-ohm terminal through a300/75-ohm
adapter (Commercially available).
300-ohm twin-lead cable
