This symbol is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage” within the product's enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION
To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized AC
plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other
outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to
prevent blade exposure.
CAUTION
When using TV games, computers and similar products
with your projection TV, or viewing a TV station whose
logo always stays on the screen, keep the brightness
and contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-
moving) pattern such as a station logo is left on the
screen for long periods of time, especially at a high
brightness or contrast setting, the image can be
permanently imprinted onto the screen. These types of
imprints are not covered by your warranty because
they are the result of misuse.

Use of this television receiver for other than private
viewing of programs broadcast on UHF or VHF or
transmitted by cable companies for the use of the

The connection you choose will depend on
the cable found in your home. Newer homes
will be equipped with standard coaxial cable
(see A); older homes will probably have 300-
ohm twin lead cable (see B); still other homes
may contain both (see C).
