6.

Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A.

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.

7.

Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8.

Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9.

Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, 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 Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig. below.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A.

The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B.

Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or

C.

The appliance has been exposed to rain; or

D.

The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

E.

The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the

CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK

HAZARD DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO

RAIN OR EXCESSIVE MOISTURE.

ANTENNA

A

OUTDOOR/INDOOR combination (outdoor or indoor) antenna receives normal broadcast channels 2-13 (VHF) and

14-69 (UHF). Your connection to such an antenna is easy since there is only one antenna plug (75

Ω

ohm) on the back of your

TV - and that’s where the antenna goes.

BEGIN

1

If your antenna has a

round cable (75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect it to the TV.

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.

2

Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the

ANTENNA plug on the rear of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down tight.

Closed Caption information will usually appear in black and white (although some broadcasters or networks may occasionally use color to highlight or draw attention to certain areas.)

SECOND AUDIO PROGRAM

Second Audio Program (SAP) is part of the stereo broadcast system. Sent as a additional audio channel SAP can be heard apart from the current TV program sound. TV stations are free to use SAP for any number of purposes, but many experts believe it will be used for foreign language translations of TV shows (or for weather and news bulletins.)

NOTE: If a SAP signal is not present with a selected program, the SAP option can not be selected. "This program does not contain SAP information" will show on the TV screen.

P icture-in-Picture (PIP) is the showing of two pictures on the

TV screen at the same time. (One main screen picture and one small inset picture - or PIP). For your ease and convenience this TV has two separate inputs (ANTenna A and ANTenna B) for your home’s

Antenna and/or Cable TV system signal.

The ANT A input is primarily for the TV’s main screen picture. The

ANT B input is provided as a second, dedicated source option for the TV’s PIP “window” and its feature operations. The signal connected to the ANT B input can be either a Split Signal Input (as described in the section on this page), or another type of external signal source (such as a satellite dish system, additional home antenna, video accessory, etc.).

See the following steps on how channels connected to the

ANT(enna) B Input can be shown and used within the PIP window:

BEGIN

1 Connect your Antenna or

Cable TV signal to the single 75 ohm INPUT plug on a two-way

Signal Splitter (not supplied).

Connect two lengths of RF

Coaxial Cable (F-type connectors on both ends) to the two OUTPUT plugs on the two-way Signal

Splitter.

2 Connect the twin OUTPUT

plugs on the Signal Splitter to the

ANT A and ANT B Inputs on the rear of the TV. continue to next page

ORKING

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or

TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen, can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

No Power

• Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 1 minute, then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again.

• Check to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.

No Picture

• Check antenna connections on the rear of the TV. Are they properly secured to the antenna plug on the TV?

• Check the CABLE TUNING control for correct position.

• Check PICTURE SOURCE control for correct position ANT A or B, AUX1, AUX 2, or AUX 3 position without a signal source will result in a blank screen.

• Check the CLOSED CAPTIONS control. Some TEXT modes could block the screen.

No Sound

Remote Does Not

Work

• Check the VOLUME and MUTE buttons on the TV and remote.

• Check the TV SPEAKER NORMAL/OFF control for the correct position.

• If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections and that the auxiliary equipment is on and in the proper operating modes.

• Check TV-VCR-CBL “System” buttons on the remote. Press the remote’s TV System button to send commands to the TV; VCR System to sent to VCR; etc.

• Check batteries. Replace with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries if necessary.

• Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV.

TV Displays Wrong

Channel or No

Channels Above 13

• Repeat channel selection.

• Add desired channel numbers (ADD/DELETE CHANNELS control) into TV memory.

• Check CABLE TUNING control for correct position.

This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button once or twice, or unplug and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet.

This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.

Cleaning and Care

• To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive- do not use household cleaners). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

• Specially designed screen cleaning kits are also available which contain anti-static cleaners and cloths designed to get into the ridges of the TV screen. If interested, ask your dealer about the MAG4600 Projection TV Screen Cleaning Kit or call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-292-6066.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or 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.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.

ERMS

A/V Inputs * Connector plugs which allow the introduction of distinct audio and video signals into the TV from accessory

VCRs, camcorders, etc. These plugs bypass the normal tuner or

RF/Antenna signal circuitry.

Coaxial Cable * A single solid antenna wire normally matched with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.

Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user operate and adjust his Television feature controls. See On

Screen Displays (OSD).

Direct Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connection options.

Identify* Method by which a remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable

Converter). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV remote can operate and send commands to the other product.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the

TV picture.

Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the

Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.

Picture -In-Picture (PIP) * Term used when two pictures are shown on the TV screen at the same time. The smaller PIP picture is supplied by a VCR (or other tuner/video playback source). The PIP picture can also be moved and swapped with the TV's main screen picture.

Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this way the Television “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the Television control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound

(MTS) broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV program material.

Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the Television of on screen displays or information

(rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).

S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution video sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder,

Laser Disc player, etc. Provides optimum picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.

Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and VCRs.
