<If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, 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 to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER  
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE  
NEC—NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE  
<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 collide  
with 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.

Antenna Connection  
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 ANT. Terminal.  
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. 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: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B)  
is required (not supplied).

Parental Controls  
This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents  
children from watching violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.  
Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA rating and the  
TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and content.  
Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete  
control.

Care and Maintenance  
LCD Display panel information  
Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays.  
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD panel.  
This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible  
LCD panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:  
A. Reduce the brightness/ contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.  
B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.  
C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.  
Note:  
The marking or retained image on the LCD panel resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as  
such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods  
of time.  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.  
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap and water solution or a weak detergent solution.  
• Use eyeglass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the LCD.  
• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.  
Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully.
