Preset the channels automatically
Tips
• If you want to stop automatic channel presetting, press SELECT twice.
• If your TV has preset an unwanted channel or cannot preset a particular
channel, then preset your TV manually (see page 10).
Note
• During automatic channel presetting, your TV screen will indicate “B/G” ,
“I”, “D/K” or “M” for the TV system (“TV SYS”).
Notes
• If you connect a monaural VCR, connect the yellow plug to (the yellow jack)
and the black plug to -L (MONO) (the white jack).
• If you connect a VCR to the 8(antenna input) terminal, preset the signal output
from the VCR to the program number 0 on the TV.
• If both (S video input) and t1 (video input) at the rear of your TV are input
at the same time, the (S video input) is automatically selected. To view the
video input to t1 (video input), disconnect the S video cable.
• Do not connect video equipment to the t2 (video input) jacks at the front and the
rear of your TV at the same time; otherwise the picture will not be displayed
properly on the screen.
• When no signal is input from the connected video equipment, the TV screen
becomes blue.
CAUTION
• Do not plug in the power cord until you have completed making all other
connections; otherwise a minimum leakage current might flow through the
antenna and other terminals to ground.
• To avoid battery leakage and damage to the remote, remove the batteries from
the remote if you are not going to use it for several days. If any liquid that leaks
from the batteries touches you, immediately wash it away with water.

Note
• Do not use old batteries nor use different types of batteries together.
