6 If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the  
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection  
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810  
of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect  
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,  
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size  
of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,  
connection requirements for the grounding electrode.  
13 For added protection of the TV set during a lightning storm or  
when the TV set is to be left unattended for an extended period  
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the  
antenna. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning  
storms or power line surges.  
14 A TV set and cart combination should be moved with care.  
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause  
the TV set and cart combination to overturn.  
7 An outside antenna system should not be located in the  
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or  
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or  
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme  
care should be taken to keep from touching such power  
lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.  
SERVICE  
15 Unplug this TV set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to  
qualied service personnel under the following conditions:  
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
B. If liquid has been spilled into the TV set.  
C. If the TV set has been exposed to rain or water.  
D. If the TV set does not operate normally by following the  
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are  
covered in the operating instructions as improper adjust-  
ment of other controls may result in damage and will often  
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore  
the TV set to normal operation.  
8 TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet  
to allow heat generated during operation to be released.  
Therefore:  
E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
F. When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in perfor-  
mance — this indicates a need for service.  
— Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV  
set by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, etc.  
— Never place a TV set in a “built-in” enclosure unless  
proper ventilation is provided.  
16 Do not attempt to service this TV set yourself as opening or  
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or  
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
— Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.  
— Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat registe.r  
9 To avoid personal injury:  
17 When replacement parts are required, have the service  
technician verify in writing that the replacement parts he uses  
have the same safety characteristics as the original parts.  
Use of manufacturer’s specified replacement parts can  
prevent fire, shock, or other hazards.  
— Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.  
— Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV set  
manufacturer.  
18 Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV set,  
please ask the service technician to perform the safety check  
described in the manufacturer’s service literature.  
— Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresh-  
olds or deep pile carpets.  
Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by  
the manufacturer.  
19 When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper  
disposal could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a  
qualied service technician to dispose of the TV set.  
USE  
20 Note to CATV system installer.  
10 Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set  
through cabinet openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous  
voltages and contact can result in a fire or electrical shock.  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s  
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides  
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.  
11 Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do  
not use liquid or an aerosol cleaner.  
12 Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for  
this purpose. Such additions may result in a hazard.

CONNECTIONS CHECKLIST — READ ME FIRST!  
The Connections Checklist — Read Me First! section of this guide is a list of ideas to keep in mind  
when you set out to perform your connections. It is designed to help us not-so-technically-  
advanced individuals. If you read this section, and can’t identify the plugs, connectors, and  
components you have, do not be afraid to seek help.  
1) Always refer to the connection instructions in the user’s  
A/V input plug  
guide for your components first! The manufacturer will  
provide the most detailed information about their products.  
2) Know your jacks and plugs — most are color coded:  
• Yellow plugs are Video connections  
• Red plugs are Right Audio connections  
• White or black plugs are Left Audio (Mono) connec-  
tions (if your VCR is mono, it will have a white or  
black plug, no red)  
RF Connectors  
3) Perform one hookup at a time. If you have many  
accessories to connect, make sure each connection is  
correct by checking to see that it works properly before  
attempting the next connection.  
4) Unplug the power cord between each connection.  
S-Video Plug  
5) In and Out Concept. Remember In and Out. The Output jack  
from one piece will go to the Input jack of the other — read the  
jack panels, they are all labeled.

CABLE CONNECTIONS  
There are two basic types of antenna/cable hookups, but they are easy to distinguish.  
#1 If you have an antenna, or have a cable TV system that does not require you to use a cable box to tune  
channels, use diagram #1. (No cable box, Diagram #1.)  
#2 If you use a cable box to access any or all channels, use diagram #2. (Cable box, Diagram #2.)  
1) Connect the cable or antenna  
#1  
wire out from the wall, in to the  
VCR RF input.  
2) Connect an RF cable out from the  
VCR output, in to the TV’s RF input.  
Refer to the VCR’s instructions.  
If you want to use the VCR as a  
separate tuner, (in other words  
not be required to have the VCR  
on Channel 3 or 4 when the  
power is on) you can connect a  
two-way splitter in between the  
cable and the VCR connections.  
Illustration of C-20910  
1) Connect the cable wire out from  
the wall in to the cable box RF  
input.  
#2  
2) Connect an RF cable out from  
the cable box, in to VCR RF  
input.  
3) Connect an RF cable out from  
VCR RF output, in to TV VHF/UHF  
input.  
Refer to the VCR and/or cable

AUDIO VIDEO CONNECTIONS — STEREO  
For models AV-27920, AV-20920 and AV-20921, you can get stereo sound from a stereo VCR by  
connecting Audio/Video Cables (yellow, white or black, and red).  
1) Connect the yellow video cable from the  
VCR Video output jack, into the TV Video  
input jack.  
2) Connect the white (or black) audio cable  
from the VCR Left Audio output jack, into  
the TV Left Audio input jack.  
3) Connect the red audio cable from the  
VCR’s Right Audio output jack into the  
TV’s Right Audio input jack.  
The C-13910, C-13911, and C-20910 do  
Illustration of AV-20920  
not have red audio jacks because they are  
mono televisions.  
If your VCR is mono it will have only one  
audio out jack.  
Refer to the VCR’s instructions.  
CONNECTING TO AN EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER  
AV-20920, AV-20921 & AV-27920 only.  
If you set the TV Speaker to off (see  
page 16 for special setup), you can  
adjust the amplifiers sound with the  
TV remote’s VOLUME -/+ button!  
1) Connect a white audio cable from  
the TV Left Audio output jack into  
the Amplifier’s Left Audio input.  
2) Connect a red audio cable from  
the TV Right Audio output jack into  
Illustration of AV-20920  
the Amplifier’s Right Audio input.  
Refer to the amplifier’s instructions.  
CONNECTING TO A CAMCORDER  
You can connect a camcorder right to your TV.  
1) Connect a white audio cable from the  
camcorder output into the TV’s Left Audio  
input jack.  
2) Connect a yellow video cable from the cam-  
corder output into the TV’s Video input jack.  
3) If you have both a stereo model TV and  
camcorder, connect the red audio cable  
from the camcorder output into the TV Right  
audio input jack.

Some Sound Advice  
You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS  
menu. Unfortunately, it is common for some cable companies to squash the transmission of  
stereo programs to mono because they only have mono equipment. If connected to a cable  
system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company — if they broadcast in mono, you  
receive mono sound regardless of the original stereo programming.  
Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television  
networks. If you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the tuner mode in the  
Auto Tuner Setup to “Air” instead of “Cable,” you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in  
stereo.

CHANNEL SUMMARY  
NOTES:  
Use the On/Off Timer as an alarm to  
wake up, as a program reminder, or  
as a decoy when you’re out of the  
house.  
You can add or delete channels from  
the channel scanning. You can also  
lock out any “unauthorized” viewers  
from one or up to all 181 channels.  
There are two  
sections in Channel  
Summary.  
To move up and  
down a column  
(e.g. from channel  
to channel) use the

You can manually set channels to scan  
that were too weak to be picked up  
during Auto Tuner Setup. (If you have  
not performed the Auto Tuner Setup  
described on page 13, do so now.)
