Do not exposethe remote control to shock.
In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquid, and do not place in an area with high
humidity.
Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation
of the unit.
The remote control may not work properly if the remote control sensor window of the main unit is
under direct sunlightor strong lighting. In such case,change the angle of the lighting or PDP
TV set, or operate the remote control closer to the remote control sensor window.
Installing the Batteries
Before using the PDP TV set for the first time, insert 2 "AAA" size batteries into the remote control
(supplied). When thebatteries become depletedand the remote control fails to operate, replace
the batteries withnew (AAAsize) batteries.
Cautions regarding batteries
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the
instructions below:
Insert batteries withtheir terminals correspondingto the (+) and (-) as indicated in thecompartment.
Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mixbatteries of different types.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries
and/or cause the old battery to leak .
Remove batteries when they become weak. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash.
If chemical leakage is found, wipe clean with cloth.
The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage
conditions.
If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the
remote control.
Caution!

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.

PREPARATION (Continued)
Antenna Connection (Continued)
CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
A 75-ohmcoaxial cable connector is built into the back of the PDP TV for easy hookup. When
connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. Terminal.
Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels" Since some of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the
subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing
of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to 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:
"A"position on the RF switch (not supplied):You can view all unscrambled channels
by using the TVs channel keys.
"B"position on theRF switch (not supplied):theconverter/descrambler by using the converters
channel keys.
Consult your Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that might
be required.
1. Turn on power switch.
2. PlugAC cord(supplied)to productand wall outlet.
Power Connection
Use only a recommended AC plugcode, if necessary, depending on the design of the wall
outlet.
Unplug the AC cord from the product and power outlet when not using the TV for a long period of
time.
