Digital Television Transition Notice:

This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV program-

ming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States

on February 17, 2009. Some older television receivers, if they rely on a TV antenna, will need a TV

Converter to receive over the air digital programming, but should continue to work as before for other

purposes (e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded

movies, or playing video games). When a Converter is used with an older television receiver, a signal

splitter might be necessary to continue to receive low-power analog broadcasts via an antenna. For

more information, please see www.DTV.gov. For information on the TV Converter program, and on

government coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the

NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009.

Commission Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may

cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

1. Reorient/Relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit which is different from what the receiver is

connected to.

Installing the LCD TV

Refer to the owner’s manual of any external equipment to be connected.

When connecting any external equipment, do not connect any AC power cords to wall outlets

until all other connections are completed.

Antenna Connection

The antenna requirements for good color TV reception are more important than those for a black &

white TV reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.

The following is a brief explanation of the type of connection that is provided with the various antenna

systems.

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

F-type connector

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

■ A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable (not included) with F-

type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without

tools.

■ A 300-ohm system is a flat twin-lead cable (not included) that can

be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter

(not included).

Chapter 2 Installing the LCD TV

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the

National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,

speciﬁ es that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building

accurately, or as close to the point of cable entry as possible. Use of this TV for other than

private viewing of programs broadcasted on UHF, VHF or transmitted by cable companies for

the use of the general public may require authorization from the broadcast/cable company, and/

or program owner.

Cable TV (CATV) Connection

■ The RF switch (not included) is required to provide two inputs (A and B). Setting

the RF switch to position A allows viewing of all unscrambled channels by using

the TV channel keys.

■ Setting the RF switch to position B allows viewing of all scrambled channels via

the converter/descrambler by using the converter channel keys.

■ A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup.

When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, connect the 75-

ohm cable into the ANT. terminal.

■ Some cable TV companies offer premium pay channels. Since the

signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV

converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the

cable TV company.

This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of scrambled channels.

(Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown,

consult your cable TV company.)
