troy and one sma// pieture, or PIP). This

TV has m'o separate inputs (ANT[enna]

"A " and PIP ANT[enna] "13")for your

home t"Antenna aml/or Cable TV system signa&. ANT "A" is"referred to on

screen as "TUNER-A," and PIP ANT

"13" is"l_ferred to as "TUTvER-13. "

The ANT "A " inpttt is primarily for the

TV' s main sereen pieture. The PIP

ANT "B" input is provided as a second dedicated souree option for the TV's

PIP "window" and its feature operations. The signal connected to the PIP

ANT "13" input can be either a sp#t sig- nal input (as described and illustrated on this page) or a separate external signal soume (such as an addi#ona/ home

antenna, sate//ite dish system, or video

accesso O, deviee).

General Information • Helpful Hints

M

If you are having difficulties with your product, check this list of difficulties and possible solutions before requesting sel-vice. You may be able to solve the problem yourself. Charges tbr TV installation and adjustment of customer controls are not covered under your warranty. If you need to call a customer sel-vice representative, please know the model number and serial number of your product before you call. This int\_rlnation is displayed on the back of the product. Also, please take a moment to identi_ the problem you are having, and be prepared to explain this to the representative.

If you believe the representative will need to help you with operations, please stay near the product. Our representative will be happy to assist you.

CAUTION

The continual presence of nonmoving images on your TV screen can damage the picture tube.

A video source such as a video game, CDI, or TV information channel that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can damage the picture tube. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the nonmoving portion of the on-screen image can become permanently fixed on the picture tube. When you are not using the video source, mrn it off. Also, regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

Cleaning and Care

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

• When you are cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive. Wipe the front screen with a cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they 1night cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.
