Introduction
This manual applies to models CF27H50, CF32H50 and CF36H50, and there are slight differences among them.
The front and rear panel illustrations in the text are based on CF32H50. Check the model of your TV before using this
manual.
Installing your TV
Where to install
Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform.
The mounting surface should be flat and steady.
Lighting
Do not place the TV in a room where direct lighting
strikes the screen, Use soft and indirect lighting.
Air circulation
Place the "IV 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.
Power supply
Plug into an electrical outlet with standard house-
hold power (120 volt AC, 60Hz). Do not change the
plug's safety prong. See the right column.
WARNING :
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
• Do not stand or climb on the TV.
•Do not put a VCR or any heavy object on top of
the TV.
CAUTION :
As a safety feature, the plug has one prong wider
than the other. It will fit only one way into a stand-
ard electrical outlet. If the plug will not fit into the
outlet, try turning it around. If the plug will not fit
either way, the outlet is probably old and non-
standard.
You will need to Wide prong
have a new outlet
installed by an
electrician.
