IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
CAUTION:  
Please read and retain for your safety.  
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV set has been engineered and  
manufactured to assure your personal safety. But improper use can result in potential elec-  
trical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this TV set,  
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.  
And also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.  
INSTALLATION  
1 Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one  
(POLARIZED-TYPE)  
blade of the plug is wider than the other). This safety feature  
allows the plug to fit into the power outlet only one way. Should  
you be unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try revers-  
ing the plug. Should it still fail to fit, contact your electrician.  
2 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the oper-  
ating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your  
home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer to the  
operating instructions.  
3 Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords  
and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service technician for  
replacement.  
4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV set  
where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.  
5 Do not use this TV set near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or  
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.  
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 require-  
ments for the grounding electrode.  
IMPORTANT RECYCLING INFORMATION  
This product utilizes both a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and other com-  
ponents that contain lead. Disposal of these materials may be regu-  
lated in your community due to environmental considerations. For  
disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authori-  
ties, or the Electronic Industries Alliance: http://www.eiae.org  
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.  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING  
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE  
8 TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow heat generated during  
operation to be released.  
Therefore:  
— 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.  
— Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.  
— Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat register.  
9 To avoid personal injury:  
— 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.  
— Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.  
— Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a  
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.  
USE  
10 Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet open-  
ings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or elec-  
trical shock.  
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 addi-  
tions may result in a hazard.  
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.  
SERVICE  
15 Unplug this TV set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified 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 adjustment  
of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a quali-  
fied technician to restore the TV set to normal operation.  
E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
F. When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for  
service.  
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 person-  
nel.  
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.  
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.  
19 When a TV 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 TV set.  
20 Note to CATV system installer.  
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.

Movie Ratings  
NR - Not Rated.  
This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries  
which do not use the MPAA ratings system. Other NR films may be from amateur producers  
who didn’t intend to have their film widely released.  
NR (Not Rated) Programming may contain all types of programming including chil-  
dren's programming, foreign programs, or adult material.  
G – General Audience.  
In the opinion of the review board, these films contain nothing in the way of sexual content,  
violence, or language that would be unsuitable for audiences of any age.  
PG – Parental Guidance.  
Parental Guidance means the movie may contain some contents such as mild violence,  
some brief nudity, and strong language. The contents are not deemed intense.  
PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned.  
Parents with children under 13 are cautioned that the content of movies with this rating may  
include more explicit sexual, language, and violence content than movies rated PG.  
R - Restricted.  
These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for  
unsupervised children under the age of 17.  
NC-17 - No One Under 17.  
These movies contain content which most parents would feel is too adult for their children to  
view. Content can consist of strong language, nudity, violence, and suggestive or explicit  
subject matter.  
X - No One under 18.  
Inappropriate material for anyone under 18.
