Install the Batteries

• Before you can operate the remote control, you must first install the batteries (included).

• Push down on the remote's back cover and slide towards the bottom to remove it.

• Insert two AA batteries (supplied), carefully noting the %" and "-" markings on the batteries and on the remote control.

To avoid a potential short circuit, insert the "=" end first. Be sure to use only size AA batteries.

• When batteries are installed, slide the cover back into place (until it clicks into position).

• If the remote control acts erratically, replace the batteries.

Typical battery life is six months to one year. We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.

• When you change the batteries, try to complete the task within three minutes.

If you take longer than three minutes, the remote control codes for your VCR, DVD, and/or Cable Box may have to be reset (pages 22-24).

With this setting aII broadcasts, mono and stereo, will be played in mono sound only by the television.

Select SAP (Second Audio Program) to listen to an alternate soundtrack (if one is being broadcast).

Alternate soundtracks may be the dialog of a program in a different language or additional information about a program topic. A logo will appear at the beginning of a program with SAP to inform you that an alternate soundtrack is available.

Some Sound Advice

You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AiR arrow in the

MTS menu. Unfortunately, some cable companies may "squash" the transmission of stereo programs because they have only monaural equipment, if you are connected to a cable system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company, if they broadcast only monaural signals, your television will only receive a mono signal even if the program was originally broadcast in stereo.

Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television networks, if you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the tuner mode in the AUTO TUNER SETUP to "AIR" instead of "CABLE" you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in stereo.

Caring for the Cabinet

Normally, light dusting with a soft, non=scratching duster will keep your TV clean.

if you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth, slightly moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to help remove spots of oily dirt.

DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.

DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.

DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV's surface.

DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.

Caring for the Screen

The screen of the AV=56WP30 or AV=48WP30 is treated with an electrostatic=proof coating.

When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.

If the screen is very dirty, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in a diluted kitchen cleaner and thoroughly wrung=out.

Then wipe immediately after with a clean, dry cloth.
