14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
19. Servicing
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system
is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electrical Code (U.S.A.), ANSI/
NFPA 70 provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-
trode.
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dan-
gerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer ser-
vicing to qualified service personnel under the fol-
lowing conditions:
a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the product.
Example of Grounding According to National
Electrical Code Instructions
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product 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 product to its normal
operation.

teristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitu-
tions may result in fire, electric shock, or other haz-
ards.

For added protection for this product (receiver) dur-
ing a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended

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.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.

Closed Captions
Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words which
then appear as subtitles on the television screen. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dialogue and nar-
ration of television programs.
Using Closed Captions
Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of televi-
sion programs. For prerecorded programs, program dialogue can
be arranged into captions in advance. It is possible to caption a
live program by using a process called real-time captioning, which
creates captions instantly. Real-time captioning is normally done
by professional reporters using a machine shorthand system and
computer for translation into English.
Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it
can also aid in teaching language skills.

The picture at left shows a typical caption.
Caption Tips
●
Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.
●
Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption signals on the same channel. By selecting From
CC 1 to CC 4, you can choose which signal you view. CC 1 is usually the signal with the captions, while
Another mode might show demonstration or programming information.
●
Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.
1 Poor reception conditions are encountered:
•
•
•
IGNITION:
Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black spots, or horizon-
tal streaking. Usually caused by interference from automo-
bile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other
electrical appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two
paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected off tall
buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or
position of the antenna may improve reception.
SNOW:
If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV
signal, your picture may be marred by small dots. It may be
necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.
An old, bad or illegally recorded tape is playing.
Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.

The signal from the antenna is weak.

The program wasn’t captioned when it was produced, transmitted, or taped.

though they might offer captioning.

Maintenance
Caring for your TV
Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the
amount of time you will have your new TV. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the
plug before you begin any cleaning.
Screen Cleaning
1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft
cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish
washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to
wipe the screen.
2. Make sure not to put an excessive amount of water on the screen, let it
air-dry before you turn on your TV.
Cabinet Cleaning
1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.
2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.
3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning your TV on.
Extended Absence
If you intend to leave your TV unused for a long time (such as a vacation),
it’s a good idea to unplug the power cord to protect against possible damage
from lightning or power surges. If you use an antenna, you may also want to
disconnect it from the back of the TV before leaving.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations
on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO:
• Damages or operating problems that result from shipping, installation, adjustment of user con-
trols, calibration, maintenance or failure to maintain, or separate system components; and
• Damages or operating problems that result from normal wear and tear, misuse, abuse, operation out-
side environmental specifications or contrary to the requirements or precautions in the Operating Guide,
accident, lightning strikes or other natural causes, unauthorized modification or alteration, incorrect elec-
trical current or voltage, signal reception or input, operating and software protocols adopted after date
of manufacture or for outside the US, institutional or commercial use, or other causes not arising out of
defect in material or workmanship.
The cost of repair or replacement under these excluded circumstances shall be borne by the consumer.
