Before OperatingYour Television  
Location  
• For normal operation, yourTV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation  
is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.  
• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys using  
magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from the TV set.  
Power  
YourTV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. If you are  
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it fail to fit, contact an  
electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.  
Note:  
• If the set is not going to be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the  
wall outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the  
POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)  
• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near  
the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn off the  
radio.  
• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received  
due to interference from the TV.

batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery m/, terminals with the m/, marks inside the  
compartment.  
Antenna Connections  
Antennas  
• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black  
& white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.  
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various  
antenna systems:  
F-type connector  
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with  
F-type connector that can easily be attached to  
a terminal without tools (not supplied).  
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)  
2. A 300-ohm system is a flattwin-lead” cable that  
can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a  
300/75-ohm ADAPTOR (not supplied).  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION  
• A 75 ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75 ohm  
coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.  
• 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 the scrambled  
channels. (Set your TV on channel 3 or 4.Typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown,  
consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your  
cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your  
cable TV company is explained below.  
Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.  
“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using theTV’s  
channel keys.  
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/  
descrambler using the converter’s channel keys.

set which in turn saves you money and minimizes the impact on  
the environment. When this feature is turned on, it reduces the  
brightness of the TV to a level that consumes approximately 20  
percent less energy than when the feature is turned off.

Operation of Universal Remote Control  
“Identifying” VCRs, cable TV converters  
Universal Remote Control  
and DVDs  
With the purchase of your television set you  
also have received the latest innovation in  
remote control technology.With its easy-to-use  
push button keyboard, your Remote can  
control your television set and most infrared  
remote controlled VCRs, cable TV converters  
and DVDs as well.  
Your Remote Control has been set at the  
factory to operate your TV and many remote  
controlled VCRs, cable TV converters and  
DVDs. However, in some cases an easy one-  
time set-up step may be necessary before the  
Remote will operate accessory VCRs, cable  
TV converters and DVDs.  
Note:  
• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and  
memorizes the remote control transmitter code  
for the VCR, cable TV converters and DVDs.  
• Once “identified”, the Remote sends proper  
signals to operate your accessory.  
• Depending on the model year produced, brand  
and type ofVCR, cableTV converter and DVD,  
some models may not be compatible with the  
remote control.  
• This identifying step will not have to be  
repeated until power to the Remote is  
interrupted due to a battery failure.  
• Some brands may not enable channel  
selection until the ENTER is pressed. In such  
case, try the following.  
Example:  
Using your remote control with a VCR  
When you select channel 24,  
(1) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “2”.  
(2) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “4”.  
(3) Press ENTER.  
Once you make certain the Remote Control  
has “identified” your remote controlled VCR or  
DVD, the Remote is ready to operate your unit.  
The various VCR or DVD function buttons on  
the Remote will not operate your VCR or DVD  
if those features are not already found on your  
unit.  
For detailed information on the use of the  
CableTV converter Box refer to their operating  
manuals.  
• All VCR buttons will operate whether the  
Remote is in TV or VCR modes.  
• For detailed information on the use of theVCR  
or DVD, refer to the operation manual of the  
VCR or DVD.  
Using your Remote with your TV  
After installing the batteries, set the CATV/  
DVD-TV/VCR on the Remote to the TV  
position.(If you can change the channel of the  
TV by pressing CH a/s on the Remote  
Control, it is in the TV position.)
