Caution:
Selecting a location for the TV
The plug has one prong wider than the other
and will fit only one way into a standard electrical
outlet (120 volt AC, 60 Hz). If the plug does not
fit into the outlet, try turning it around. If the plug
still does not fit, the outlet is probably non-
standard and must be replaced by a qualified
electrician. Do not tamper with the plug or
try to force it into a non-standard outlet.
G
Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where
light does not directly hit the screen.
Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage
the TV.
G
WARNING
To avoid personal injury:
Wide prong
G
Do not stand or climb on the TV.
G
Do not put a VCR or any heavy object on top of the TV.

Connecting Your TV
If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this
section. (Cables are not supplied.)
G
A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F”
connectors.
Antenna Coaxial Cable
AUDIO/VIDEO Cables
G
Audio and video cables are usually color coded according to
use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The red
audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio
cable is for the stereo (or mono) left channel. If you look at
the rear panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are
color coded in the same manner as the cables.
S-Video Cable
G
G
S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video
cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.
ColorStream™ cables come in sets of three and provide the
best picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be
used with ColorStream compatible components.

Caution:
Do not plug the TV in until you have finished
