Abroadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF  
14-69).Your connection is easy since you will  
connect the antenna to the 75 OHM ANTENNA  
INPUT jack on the rear of theTV.  
If your antenna has a round cable  
(75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready  
to connect it to the TV. Go to step 2.  
If your antenna has flat twin-lead  
wire (300 ohm), you first need to attach  
the antenna wires to the screws on a  
300 to 75 ohm adapter (not supplied  
with TV).

Care and Cleaning  
WARNING concerning stationary images on theTV  
TV LOCATION  
screen: Do not leave fixed images on the screen for  
extended periods of time.This can cause uneven aging  
of the picture tube.  
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and an  
increased chance of TV failure, do not place the TV where  
temperatures can become excessively hot (for example, in  
direct sunlight or near a heating appliance).  
Normal use of the TV should involve viewing of programs that  
have constantly moving or changing images. Do not leave non-  
moving images on screen for extended periods of time. Do not  
display the same images too frequently; subtle “ghost” images  
can be left on the picture tube. Sources of stationary images  
may be Laser discs, video games, Compact Discs Interactive  
(CD-i), or paused DigitalVideo Discs (DVDs) or videotapes.  
Allow a free flow of air around the TV.  
CLEANING  
To avoid possible shock hazard, remove the TV’s power cord  
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.  
Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-scratching duster.  
When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage  
the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything  
abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the screen  
with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy,  
vertical strokes when cleaning.  
Here are some common examples of stationary images:  
DVD menus - listings of DVD content.  
Letterbox black bars - appear at the top and bottom of  
the TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed  
on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio. This is available  
with some DVDs.  
Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or a  
sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a  
mild soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the  
wiped surfaces.  
Video-game images and scoreboards  
Television station logos - These cause a problem if they  
are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics  
are less likely to damage the picture tube.  
Occasionally vacuum the vents on the rear of the TV.  
Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on  
or near the cabinet. They may blemish the cabinet perma-  
nently.  
Stock-market tickers - may appear at the bottom of the  
TV screen if the TV programming covers this news.  
Shopping channel logos, pricing displays - These may  
be bright and may appear constantly during the show.These  
are usually in the same location on the TV screen.
