To Connect With Terrestrial Signal Source
To enjoy the terrestrial signal transmitted by your local TV station, you need an indoor or outdoor aerial (not supplied). Perfect
picture quality requires a good signal and generally means that an outdoor aerial must be implemented. The exact type and
location of the aerial will depend on your particular area. Consult your local dealer or service personnel for best advice.
If you are a subscriber of your local CATV net, the outdoor or indoor aerial is not needed.
Connect the equipments as in the following figure.
To Prepare Remote Control
Battery installation
1.Slide or lift the battery cover from back of remote control.
2.Insert two batteries (1.5V) matching the +/- polarity of the
battery to the +/- marks inside the battery compartment.
3.Close the battery cover by doing reversely to step 1.
Install the unit where sunlight will not fall upon the screen directly.
Total dark environment or a reflection on the picture screen may cause eyestrain. Soft indirect lighting is recommended
for comfortable viewing.
Allow enough space between the unit and the wall for proper ventilation.
Avoid excessively warm locations to prevent possible damage to the cabinet or components.
