I _ INTRODUCTION
Installation
Downward spot lights or fluorescent lights in an
overhead "Honeycomb" prevent direct
illumination of the screen.
," i
ii,/ /L
Use curtains or
biinds to shut outl
direct sunlight.
Cover shiny surfaces (floor and walls) with non-
reflective materials (carpet, rugs, wallpaper, etc.).
Where to install
Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The mounting
surface should be flat and steady. If you install the TV on a soft
floor, make sure that the floor is not damaged by the weight of
the TV.
Air Circulation
Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow pro-per
ventilation. This will prevent tile TV from overheating and avoid
possible damage to the TV. Avoid dusty places tco.
Heat Damage
Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight or near
a heater. Avoid places subject to extremely high temperatures
or humidity, and temperature.,; of 41°F (5°C) or lower.
f
Power Supply
Plug into an electrical outlet with standarc] household power
(120 volt AC, 60 Hz). Do not change the plug's safety prong.
See page 2.
Moisture Condensation
If the room temperature suddenly rises (or if tae i'M is moved
from a cool place to a hot place), condensation may occur on
the lenses resulting in picture distortion or color _'=ading.In such
a case, simply wait a while (with the power on,) and the
condensation will evaporate.
Best Viewing .
Sit approximately t0-25 feet away from the TV. Sitting too far to the left or right of the screen will cause the picture to
appear doll as will _lirect sunlight and room lights. Turn the TV off to check for reflections on the screen. Then remove
the source of any reflections while viewing.

I _ INTRODUCTION
Antenna/Cable TV
Connections
• You can use either an indoor or outdoor antenna to receive VHF and UHF channels.
• Channels 2-13 are VHF channels, and channels 14-69 are UHF channels.
• We recommend using an outdoor antenna for better picture quality.
• You can receive Cable TV by connecting the cable supplied by your local cable
company.
.
Types of antenna cables
Shown below are two basic types of antenna cables.
Signals from a home antenna may be conveyed by either type. Cable TV
signals will always be conveyed by a 75 ohm coaxial cable.
(_ A 75 ohm coaxial cable is generally a round cable with F-type
connectors that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.
F-type connector (Not supplied)
(_ A 300 ohm cable is a flat ';twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a
terminal using an antenna adapter.(Not supplied)

The ANT-1 and ANT-2 terminals are for connecl:ing a VHF/UHF antenna
or cable TV system. The signal input through ANT-1 is also output from
the OUT terminal whenever the RF switch on the TV is in the ANT-2
position. You can switch between the _ANT-1 and ANT-2 inputs in the
ANT 1/2 menu or with the ANT/VIDEO button on the TV. See page 21.

Antenna/Cable TV
Connections (continued)
Generally, the cable TV system can be connected directly to the TV's antenna terminal just like a home antenna.
(A-l)
Some cable companies, however, offer premium pay channels. Since premium pay channel signals are scrambled, a
cable TV converter/decoder is generally provided to subscribers by the cable TV company. This decoder box is
necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. We recommend that you consult your cable TV company for
more specific instructions on installing cable TV. (A-2)
