i_INTRODUCTION
Installation
Downward spot lights or fluorescent lights in an
overhead "Honeycomb" prevent direct
illumination of the screen.
E.'I I:
Use curtains or
blinds to shut out
direct sunlight.
__i_t __ _i ' !
If you install the TV close to a wall, keep a
enough space (4=_:10 inches or more) around
the TV.
Where to install
Place the "IV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The mounting
surface should be flat and steady. When placing 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 from the walls to allow proper
ventilation. This will prevent the TV from overheating and avoid
possible damage to the TV. Avoid dusty places too.
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, or to temperatures of 41°F (5°C) or lower.
Power Supply
Plug into an electrical outlet with standard 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 the rv is moved
from acool place to a hot place), dew condensation may occur
on the lenses, resulting in picture distortion or color fading. In
such a case, simply wait a while (with the power on) and the
dew will disappear.

IIIIIIIII
Best Viewing
Position the TV approximately 10-25 feet away. Sitting too far to the left or right of the screen will cause the picture to
appear dull as will direct sunlight and/or room lights. Turn the TV off to check for reflections on the screen. Then
remove any source of reflections when viewing.

You can get the best surround performance when you
install the speakers slightly above your viewing position
while watching TV.
CAUTIONS
•If the speakers are mounted on a wall, hang them
from the opening provided on their back panels.
• Care should be taken when choosing speaker
mounting hardware to insure compatibility with the
material of the wall. Do not use mounting hardware
with thin and/or soft wall materials, as the speaker
may fall and cause personal injury or be damaged.

I _ INTRODUCTION
Antenna/Cable TV
Connection
• You can use either an indoor or outdoor antenna to receive VHF and/or 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 contacting your local cable company.
• Cable TV delivers both VHF and UHF channels and other channels not available to
your antenna.
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.
Optional F-type connector
A300 ohm cable is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a
terminal through an antenna adapter supplied as an accessory.
Antenna connection panel
There are two separate 75 ohm F-type connector terminals and a
converter output terminal as shown below.
TV rear
ANT'I OUT ANT-2
©QQ
The ANT-1 and ANT-2 terminals are for connecting a VHF/UHF antenna
or a cable TV system. The signal, which is input on the ANT-l, also is
output from the OUT terminal whenever the RF switcher in the TV is in
the ANT-2 position. You can switch between the ANT-1 and ANT-2
positions by pressing the ANT 1/2 button on the Remote Control or the
ANT/VIDEO button on the TV. See page 22.

i_INTRODUCTION
Antenna/Cable TV
Connection (continued}
Generally, the incoming cable for a cable TV system can be connected directly to the TV antenna terminal just like a
home antenna connection. (A-l)
But some cable companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay channels are
scrambled, a cable TV converter/decoder is generally provided to the 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)

(A-2) Cable with a decoder box (Unscrambled and Scrambled channels)
• The unscrambled channels will come through the
ANT-1 terminal whenever the ANT1/2 button on the
Remote Control, or the ANT/VIDEO button on the TV,
is in "ANT 1" mode.
•The scrambled channels from the decoder box will
come through the ANT-2 terminal whenever the
ANT1/2 button, or the ANT/VIDEO button, is in "ANT
2" mode.
•Set the TV and the VCR on channel 3 or 4 to match
the output channel of the converter.

Notes:
•Playback of tapes may often cause the TV/VCR switching of the VCR to disconnect the antenna from the TV. If you
cannot select a certain channel, try pressing the TV!VCR button on the Remote Control.
• If you connect both VHF and UHF lead-in cables, use a U/V mixer (not supplied). {See page 9.)
• VIDEO/AUDIO connections from the VCR to the TV are required for stereo tape playback from stereo VCR's.

_INTRODUCTION
Using the Remote Control
•With this Remote Control, you can operate your TV and most models of remote-
controlled VCR's and cable TV converters even if they are different brands. See next
page.
1Place the Remote Control face down and remove
the battery cover. Press and slide
to remove.
CAUTIONS
• Do not throw your batteries into a fire. Dispose of
your batteries in a designated disposal area.
• Do not combine used batteries with new ones.
• Do not mix battery types.
Insert two "AA" size alkaline batteries, matching
the + and - signs on each battery with the + and
- signs of the battery compartment,
Slide the battery cover shut until the lock snaps.
Tips for best operation
•For optimum performance, aim the Remote Control
directly at the TV from a distance of no more than 28
feet (8.5m). Be sure there is no obstruction between
the Remote Control and the TV.
• If your Remote Control does not always adjust the TV
as you wish, you probably need to replace the
batteries. Use alkaline batteries for longer use.
• If the Remote Control will not be used for a long
period of time or when the batteries are worn out,
remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
•Do not drop, dampen or disassemble the Remote
Control.
