SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and

safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation pre-

cautions which you should be particularly aware of.

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should

be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should

be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating

instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be

followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water

- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,

in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or

stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven sur-

faces may cause the appliance and cart combination to

overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a

wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or

position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,

the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar

surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-

in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the

flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (includ-

ing amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power sup-

ply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as

marked on the appliance.

11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so

that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed

upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

appliance.

12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended

by the manufacturer.

13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from

power lines.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to

the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to pro-

vide some protection against voltage surges and built up static

charges.

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,

provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats

and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an anten-

na discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-

discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and require-

ments for the grounding electrode. See Fig. below.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be

unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not

fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by

qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or

D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a

marked change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance

beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servic-

ing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the

CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that pro-

vides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the

cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,

as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

SMART

HELP

If your antenna has a

round cable (75 ohm) on the

end, then you're ready to con-

nect it to the TV.

If your antenna has flat twin-

lead wire (300 ohm), you first

need to attach the antenna wires

to the screws on a 300 to 75

ohm adapter.

Push the round end of the

adapter (or antenna) onto the

ANTENNAplug on the rear of

the TV. If the round end of the

antenna wire is threaded, screw

it down tight.

HOW TO SET THE TV FOR STEREO PROGRAMS

our TV can receive broadcast

stereo TV programs. The TV

has both an amplifier and twin

speakers through which the stereo

sound can be heard.

Press the MENU button on

the remote to show the on-screen

menu. PICTURE will be high-

lighted.

Press the CURSOR DOWN

■ button to select the SOUND

menu.

Press the CURSOR RIGHT

shift to the right to display an

adjustment bar in front of the

TREBLE control.

Press the CURSOR DOWN

■ button to select the STEREO

control.

Use the CURSOR LEFT §§

STEREO or MONO. With

STEREO selected the television

will reproduce any stereo broad-

cast signal it receives.

SAP is an additional part of the

stereo broadcast system. Sent as a

third audio channel SAP can be

heard apart from the current TV

program sound. TV stations are

free to use SAP for any number

of purposes, but many experts

believe it will be used for foreign

language translations of TV

shows (or for weather and news

bulletins.)

If a SAP signal is not present

with a selected program, the SAP

option cannot be selected. Also, if

SAP is selected on a channel

(with SAP) and you select anoth-

er channel, when you return to

the original channel SAP will be

OFF (and you will have to rese-

lect the SAP feature.)
