Important Safeguards  
For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and  
keep this manual for future reference.  
Cleaning  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before  
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid  
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly  
dampened with water for cleaning the exterior  
of the set.  
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and  
instructions placed on the set or described in the operating  
instructions or service manual.  
WARNING  
Installation  
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions  
should be observed in the installation, use and servicing of the set.  
Attachments  
Do not use attachments not recommended by the  
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.  
Use  
Power Sources  
This set should be operated only from the type  
of power source indicated on the serial/ model  
plate. If you are not sure of the type of electrical  
power supplied to your home, consult your  
dealer or local power company. For those sets  
designed to operate from battery power, refer  
to the operating instructions.  
Water and Moisture  
Do not use power-line operated sets near  
water for example, near a bathtub,  
washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a  
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.  
Grounding or Polarization  
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug  
having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire  
grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for  
grounding).Follow the instructions below:  
Accessories  
For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug  
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,  
table or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious  
injury to a child or an adult and serious damage  
to the set. Use only a cart or stand recommended  
by the manufacturer for the specific model of TV.  
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.  
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 still fails to fit, contact your electrician to have  
a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the  
polarized plug by forcing it in.  
Alternate Warning  
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug  
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type  
power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are  
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact  
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.  
Ventilation  
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are  
provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of  
the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings  
must never be blocked or covered.  
Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or  
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,  
since this can result in fire or electric shock.  
Never cover the slots and openings with a  
cloth or other materials.  
Never block the slots and openings by  
placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other  
similar surface.  
Always turn the set off when it is not being  
used. When the set is left unattended and  
unused for long periods of time, unplug it  
from the wall outlet as a precaution against  
the possibility of an internal malfunction that  
could create a fire hazard.  
Never place the set in a confined space, such  
as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless  
proper ventilation is provided.  
If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is  
continuous or frequent while the TV is operating,  
unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service  
technician. It is normal for some TV sets to make  
occasional snapping or popping sounds,  
Do not place the set near or over a radiator  
or heat register, or where it is exposed to  
direct sunlight.  
particularly when being turned on or off.  
Object and Liquid Entry  
Never push objects of any kind into the set  
through the cabinet slots as they may touch  
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that  
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill  
liquid of any kind on the set.  
Power-Cord Protection  
Service  
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the  
power cord, and do not place the set where the  
power cord is subject to wear or abuse.  
Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified  
service personnel under the following conditions:  
Antennas  
When the power cord or plug  
is damaged or frayed.  
Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An  
outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of  
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or  
where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.  
If liquid has been spilled into  
the set.  
If the set has been exposed to  
rain or water.  
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,  
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM  
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS  
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.  
If the set has been subject to  
excessive shock by being  
dropped, or the cabinet has  
been damaged.  
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 (NEC) in USA and  
Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada 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.  
If the set does not operate  
normally when following the  
operating instructions. Adjust  
only those controls that are  
specified in the operating  
instructions. Improper  
adjustment of other controls  
may result in damage and  
will often require extensive  
work by a qualified technician  
to restore the set to normal operation.  
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC  
Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for Antenna  
Grounding.  
When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it  
indicates a need for service.  
Antenna lead-in wire  
Servicing  
Ground clamp  
Antenna discharge unit  
(NEC Section 810-20)  
Do not attempt to service the set yourself since  
opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to  
qualified service personnel.  
Electrical wire  
Ground clamps  
equipment  
Replacement Parts  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service  
technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts  
specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as  
the original parts.  
Antenna lead-in wire  
Power service grounding electrode  
NEC: National Electrical Code  
system (NEC Art 250 Part H)  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or  
other hazards.  
Lightning  
For added protection for this television receiver during 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.  
This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and  
power-line surges.  
Safety Check  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the  
set, ask the service technician to perform routine  
safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to  
determine that the set is in safe operating  
condition, and to so certify. When the set reaches  
the end of its useful life, improper disposal could  
result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified  
service technician to dispose of the set.

Basic Cable Box  
Connections  
Cable Box and Cable  
This is the preferred basic cable TV hookup to use if:  
Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of  
them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels), and you need to  
use a cable box, and  
You want to enjoy the PIP feature.  
This connection applies to all models except KV-36FS12.  
With this setup you can:  
Use the TV remote control to change channels using your cable  
box when the signal is scrambled.  
Use the TV remote control to change channels using your TV  
when the signal is not scrambled. (Your TVs tuner provides a  
better signal than the cable box.)  
Use the PIP feature. (When all channels are routed through your  
cable box, only one signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the  
PIP feature.)

those coming directly to  
the TV (unscrambled).  
To change channels using the cable box, set your TV to channel 3 or 4. Setting  
the Channel Fix feature in the Channel menu (see “Using the Channel Menu”  
on page 40) ensures that you do not accidentally switch the channels using  
your TV.

Installing the TV  
Cable Box only  
Use this hookup if:  
You subscribe to a cable TV system that scrambles or encodes all  
signals, requiring a cable box to view all channels, and  
You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video  
equipment to your TV.  
When all channels are routed through your cable box, only one  
unscrambled signal is sent to the TV, so you cannot use the PIP  
feature. If some of your channels are scrambled, but others are not,  
consider using the hookup Cable Box and Cableon page 11  
instead.

the correct code for  
your component.  
You must perform step 3 within 10 seconds of step 2, or you must start  
again from step 2.
