PORTABLE CART WARNING

(symbol provided by RETAC)

8. ACCESSORIES

Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.

The unit may fall, causing serious injury, and serious damage to the unit.

8A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,

excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart

combination to overturn.

9. VENTILATION

Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation,

to ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating.

S3126A

These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the unit

on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat

source. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper

ventilation is provided and/or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

10. POWER SOURCES

This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not

sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For

units intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

This unit is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the

other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to

insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your

electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug, if your

unit is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only

fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into

the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

grounding-type plug.

12. 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 at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point

where they exit from the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

(continued)

13. LIGHTNING

To protect your unit from a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,

unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the

unit due to lightning and power line surges.

14. POWER LINES

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.

15. OVERLOADING

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short

out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.

17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is

grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, 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 to grounding electrodes, and requirements for

the grounding electrode.

18. SERVICING

Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous

voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following

conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.

c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those

controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls

may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the

unit to its normal operation.

e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

f . When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.

20. REPLACEMENT PARTS

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by

the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

21. SAFETY CHECK

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to

determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

22. HEAT

The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

CONDENSATION

Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm

room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the unit's performance will be

impaired.

To prevent this, let the unit stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure

that the room temperature rises gradually.

Condensation may also form during the summer if the unit is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In

such cases, change the location of the unit.

The Auto clock function will automati-

cally set the built-in clock (Month, Day,

Year and Time) when the TV/VCR/DVD

Closed caption

What is closed captioning?

This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. Closed

Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in

another language.

Captions: This closed caption mode will display text on the

screen in English or another language (depending on the

setting of the closed captions CH 1/2).

Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted on

captions channel 1 and closed captions in other languages

are transmitted on captions channel 2.

The captions will appear in places on the screen where they

will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of

the screen. News programs will usually show three-line

closed captions which scroll onto the screen.

Most other shows provide two or three lined captions placed

near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow

the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles,

words in foreign languages or words requiring emphasis.

Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical

notes.

Text: The text closed caption mode will usually fill the screen

with a programming schedule or other information.

After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect

until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.

If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in

the signal, the captions will reappear when the signal is

received again. If the channels are changed, the captions will

be delayed approximately 10 seconds.

For television programs broadcasting with closed captions,

look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).

To view closed captions

Press CLOSED CAPTION to

switch between normal TV and the

two closed caption modes (cap-

tions and full screen text). Closed

captioning will display text on the

screen for hearing impaired

viewers.

NOTES:

• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with

Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also

entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may

interfere with Closed Captions.

• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or

may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception

or use an outdoor antenna.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the TV/VCR/DVD reads

the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that

the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be

played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a

known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is

extremely snowy). If this is the case, have the TV/VCR/DVD checked

by qualified service personnel.

Snowy Picture

NOTES:

•

DO NOT ATTEMPTTO CLEAN THEVIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THETV/VCR/DVD BY REMOVINGTHE REAR

COVER.

• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
