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.
6B. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.
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

“letterbox” or cropped movie images such as found with
Cinemascope or Cinerama type program material.
Note: With the Theater modes there can be some vertical loss of information as the edges of the picture expands and fills the screen.
Anamorphic - Picture is displayed to fill a 16:9 type aspect ratio screen area.
Intended for use with select cinema or wide screen movie features available on certain model DVD players. Most of the non-linear picture expansion is performed toward the outer edges so that correct proportions are retained in the center of the screen. Black bar areas show on the top and bottom margins of the screen.

Parents - it isn't possible to unlock or defeat your
Censor Code without changing to a new code number. So if your
Code number changes, and you didn't change it yourself, then you will know that someone has altered the code and the blanked out channel has been viewed.
NOTE:Your TV left the factory with the Parental Code set to "0000". If you are using your TV and the Parental Control for the first time, and don't want to SETUP a new
Access code number, you can use the "0000" number to block channels - see next page.
The "0711" Parental Code (shown on this page) is given as a default or way to reset the
Code when the current Access number is not known.

Note: Remember that Content Advisory data or encoded information is not available with all received TV programming (this also includes commercials, and other program spot announcements). Broadcaster’s can decide
not to encode any kind of content advisory ratings with their programming, or they can actually choose to encode
programs to be “unrated.”
The TV Blocking Options allow the viewer to block any program without content advisory data with the use of its
“NO RATING INFORMATION” control. And to block programs that are encoded as “unrated” with its
“UNRATED PROGRAMMING” control option.
Since the reception of Content Advisory data can take a few seconds, you may want to use the “CHANNEL
CHANGE” option to be sure no viewing is allowed during blocked program channel changes. This can eliminate the display of a few seconds of undesirable video on the TV, or receiving scenes from a Ratings blocked channel source.

Remember, Auto Sound works for sound levels coming from either the
Antenna/Cable input on the rear of the TV (RF audio); or the
Auxiliary (VCR/AUX IN) audio inputs.
When using a Cable Converter
Box with the Auto Sound Control
ON, the TV’s volume level may take up to ten seconds to gradually increase to normal listening levels
(when the TV’s first turned on).
This is considered NORMAL with various Cable Converter Box use.

Remember, a minute or two can seem very long, but the code should be located within two minutes.
Don't let the accessory device scan up more than five channels. The remote may pass up the right code and another two minute search cycle will have to be repeated.
If no channel change happens within two minutes, repeat steps 1-4. Should a channel change still not occur, the remote will not work with the desired unit.
Note: For TV remote’s equipped with a backlight option, the unit may
“blink” or flash as the remote moves through its product code list. Once a product code has been identified and the buttons on the remote are released, the unit will blink twice.

EATURE
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.

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 an optional Projection TV Screen Cleaning Kit or call our toll-free Accessory Parts ordering number 1-800-851-8885.
• 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.

Aspect Ratio * The proportions of a rectangular display screen. NTSC television has a 4:3 ratio; HDTV is 16:9.
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.
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 TV feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD).
Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the TV’s memory circuits. In this way the TV “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 TV control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.
RGB * Red, Green, Blue color component inputs used for connection purposes with personal computers (PCs) and other high definition video devices.
RF * Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the carrier for television broadcasts.
HDTV * High Definition Television which offers approximately twice the vertical/horizontal resolution of NTSC video, and sound quality approaching that of compact disc. (Usually taken to mean a picture of 1920 x 1080 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio.)
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.
LED * Light Emitting Diode or indicator.
Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the recorded or video signal (usually containing a second language translation for the displayed programming.)
Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the TV of onscreen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to
“time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).
Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the TV screen that are made available for user adjustments.
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.
NTSC * National Television Standards Committee format devised for TV broadcasting signals in the 1940s (525 lines; 30Hz.)
On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages generated by the TV to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

SVGA * Super Video Graphics Array
S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution video sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder, Laser Disc player, etc. Provides improved 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.
