Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and
instructions placed on [he set, or described in fi_e operating
instructions or service manual.
WAR_'_NG
To guard against iniury, the following basic safety precautions
should be observed in the i_stallation, use, and servicing of the set.
USe
Powe_ _OULrCeS
This set should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the serial/model I
plate. If you are not sure of the type of electrical _ _
power supplied to your home, consult your 4ief_
dealer or local power compan3a For those sets {_ '- •
designed to operato from battery power, refer
to the operating ins[ructions.
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire
grounding type plug (a plug having a fi_ird pin for grounding).
Follow the instructions below:
IFo_ the set wi[h a polarized AC Dower co_d plug
This plug will fit into the power outtet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are m_able to _/_
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug by forcing it in.
IFo_ the set wi_h a th_ee-wi_e #rou_dirr_gtype AC plu#
This plug will only fit into a grounding4ype
power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not to be
used. When the set is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet as a precaution against
the possibility of an internal malfunction that
could create a fire hazard.
Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy
storm. Lightning may strike while you are holding the cable or
cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your TV and wail for the
weather to improve.
To protect small children from iniury from Memory Stick Media,
remove all Memory Stick media from the TV's Memory Stick slot
and store it in a safe location when it is not in use.
Object a_d Liquid E_try
Never push objects of any kind into the set
through the cabinet slots as they may touch _*'- _" __"'_ _/_
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill

If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is
continuous or frequent while the TV is operating,
unplug fl_eTV and consult your dealer or service
technician. It is normal for some TV sets to make
occasional snapping or popping sounds,
particularly when being turned on or of£
rlmst_I_a_t_om
Always use two or more people to lift or move the set. The set is
heavy and the bottom surface is flat. ,Serious injury can result from
trying to move the set by yourself alone, or from unsteady
handling. Install the set on a stable, level surface.

direct sunlight.
Power Cord Protection
A_e_a5
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the
power cord, and do not place the set where the I_[
power cord is subject to wear or abuse.
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An
outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WIIEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD fiE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and buileup static charges.
S_'ction 810 of tt_e National Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and
Section 54 of fl_e Canadian Electrical Code in Canada pro'vide
information wifl_ respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

This chapter describes the contents of the package in which the TV is
shipped and provides an overview of the features of your Wega TV.
Pr÷s÷nt ng the FD Trinitron IWega
The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY-GAH) is characterized by
outstanding contrast, uncompromising accuracy, and comer-to-
comer detail.
You will recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost
immediately. The first thing you will probably notice is minimal glare
from the flat picture tube. This flat-screen technology improves
picture detail without distortion, unlike conventional curved screens.
The FD Trinitron delivers outstanding image detail not only at the
screen center, but also at the corners -- so you can enjoy a bright,
clear picture from any location in a room.
Package Contents Along with your new Trinitron TV, the packing box contains a
remote control and two AA (R6) batteries. These items are all you
need to set up and use the TV.
Features Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:
_DRC ®(Digital Reality Creation) Multifunction: Unlike
conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature
replaces the signal's NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent,
while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines. This
results in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD,
satellite, and digital camcorders. The Video Menu allows you to
select interlaced, progressive, or CineMotion TM output.
_1 Scrolling Index: Lets you select programs from a series of
preview windows that scroll along the right side of the screen.
7

_16:9 isalsoreferredto as
widescreenformat.
_1 Twin ViewTM: Using the Multi-Image Driver (MIDX), Twin View
allows you to watch two programs side by side, with the ability
to zoom in one picture. You can watch pictures from two
different sources (1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i) simultaneously.
(Only the left Twin View window can display 1080i, 720p, and
480p sources.)
_1 Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from eight
of your favorite channels.
_ClearEdge VM TM Velocity Modulation: Sharpens picture
definition by enhancing vertical lines.
_Steady Sound@: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent
output between programs and commercials.
_ Memory Stick @Picture Viewer: Allows you to view on your TV
screen digital images that are stored on Memory Stick media.
_ Component Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality for DVD
(480p, 480i), and digital set-top box (HD1080i, 720p) connections.
_ CineMotionTM: Reverse 3-2 pulldown processing provides
optimal picture quality for film-based sources (media originally
shot in 24 frames-per-second format).
_ HD DetailerTM: Wideband video amplifier has a high bandwidth
frequency rating, which allows it to send more video information
to the screen, resulting in finer picture quality, especially for HD
sources.
_16:9 Enhancement: Vertical Compression technology that
maximizes picture resolution when playing "anamorphic" or
"enhanced for widescreen" sources, including many DVDs.
_ Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block
unsuitable programming from younger viewers.
_ Digital Visual Interface (DVI): Can accommodate a copy-
protected digital connection (HDCP*) to other devices (such as
digital set-top boxes) that have compatible interfaces. The DVI-
HDTV input terminal is compliant with the EIA-861 standard
and is not intended for use with personal computers.
