set, or described in the operating instructions or service manual.  
the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.  
Do not place any objects, especially heavy  
objects, on top of the set. The object may fall  
from the set, causing injury.  
WARNING  
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions  
should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.  
Cleaning  
Use  
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.  
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.  
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,  
particularly when being turned on or off.  
Grounding or Polarization  
Installation  
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).  
Refer to the following instructions:  
Always use two or more people to lift or move the set. The set is  
heavy and the bottom surface is flat. Serious injury can result  
from trying to move the set by yourself alone, or from unsteady  
handling.  
Install the set on a stable, level surface.  
For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Accessories  
Do not place the set on an  
unstable cart, stand,  
tripod, bracket, 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

mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by  
the manufacturer. 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.  
Disconnect all cables and cords from the set before attempting to  
move the set.  
Do not overload wall  
outlets, extension cords  
or convenience  
receptacles beyond their  
capacity, since this can  
result in fire or electric  
shock. Always turn the

set off when it is not to be 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.  
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.  
Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy  
storm. Lightning may strike while you are holding the cable or  
cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your TV and wait for the  
weather to improve.  
•
Never cover the slots and openings with  
a cloth or other materials.  
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.

•
Never block the slots and openings by  
placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or  
other similar surface.  
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.  
Never place the set in a confined space,  
such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet,  
unless proper ventilation is provided.  
Service  
Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified  
service personnel under the following conditions:  
•
Do not place the set near or over a  
radiator or heat register, or where it is  
exposed to direct sunlight.  
•
When the power cord or plug is  
damaged or frayed.  
Power-Cord Protection  
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.  
•
If liquid has been spilled into  
the set or objects have fallen into  
the product.  
Grounding or Polarization  
This set may be equipped with a polarized  
alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than  
other). 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 replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the  
safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
•
•
If the set has been exposed to rain  
or water.  
If the set has been subject to  
excessive shock by being  
dropped, or the cabinet has  
been damaged.  
Antennas  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
•
When the set exhibits a distinct change in  
performance — this indicates a need for service.  
Servicing  
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.  
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC  
Antenna Grounding According to the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA 70.  
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.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in  
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Setups that affect your ability to use PIP  
✍ The PIP feature is only for the models KV-27FS200, KV-32FS200 and KV-36FS200.  
❏
❏
Any video equipment you have connected to the AUX input cannot be viewed in the PIP window.  
If you are viewing all channels through a cable box, the PIP feature will not work. The cable box  
only unscrambles one signal at a time, so the window picture will be the same as the main picture.  
❏
You can use PIP to see pictures from different sources on your TV. For example, you can have a  
regular (CATV) channel and the output from a VCR, DVD player or satellite receiver on screen at the  
same time using PIP. To do this:  
1
2
Connect the CATV cable to the VHF/UHF input on the back of the TV.  
Connect the peripheral (VCR, DVD player or satellite receiver) to any of the VIDEO IN inputs  
on the back of the TV.

Tune to one image in the main picture.  
Tune to a second image in the PIP window.  
You can then SWAP the images on the TV screen.
