Important Safeguards
For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and instructions placed on the set, or described in the operating instructions or service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.
Use
Power Sources
This set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the serial/model plate. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For those sets designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding).
Follow the instructions below:
For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not to be used. When the set is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet as a precaution against the possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a fire hazard.
Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy storm. Lightning may strike while you are holding the cable or cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your TV and wait for the weather to improve.
Memory Stick
To protect small children from injury from Memory Stick Media, remove all Memory Stick media from the TV’s Memory Stick slot and store it in a safe location when it is not in use.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the set through the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
Do not place any objects, especially heavy objects, on top of the set. The object may fall from the set, causing injury.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the set.
If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is continuous or frequent while the TV is operating, unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service technician. It is normal for some TV sets to make occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off.
Installation
Always use two or more people to lift or move the set. The set is heavy and the bottom surface is flat. Serious injury can result from trying to move the set by yourself alone, or from unsteady handling. Install the set on a stable, level surface.
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, table or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer for the specific model of TV. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. 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.
Disconnect all cables and cords from the set before attempting to move the set.
Do not allow children or pets to climb up onto, or push against, the set. The set may fall, causing serious injury.
2
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.
❑
Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.
❑
Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
❑
Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.
❑
Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
Power Cord Protection
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the set where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.
Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
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 Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and
Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provide information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega
Overview
This chapter describes the contents of the package in which the TV is shipped and provides an overview of the features of your Wega TV.
Presenting the FD Trinitron Wega
The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY-GAH) is characterized by outstanding contrast, uncompromising accuracy, and corner-tocorner detail.
You will recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost immediately. The first thing you will probably notice is minimal glare from the flat picture tube. This flat-screen technology improves picture detail without distortion, unlike conventional curved screens.
The FD Trinitron delivers outstanding image detail not only at the screen center, but also at the corners — so you can enjoy a bright, clear picture from any location in a room.
Package Contents
Along with your new Trinitron TV, the packing box contains a remote control and two AA (R6) batteries. These items are all you need to set up and use the TV.

Cable Box and
Cable Only
For best results, use this connection if:
❑ Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble all channels.
❑
You do not have a VCR. (If you have a VCR, see pages 22 and 24.)
With this connection you can:
❑ Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through the cable box to the TV’s AUX input jack. (You must first program
the remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 43.)
❑ Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly into the TV’s VHF/UHF input. (The TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
About Using Twin View with This Connection
With this connection, you can use all the Twin View features for unscrambled channels coming directly into the TV’s VHF/UHF input jack.
However, you can use only some of the Twin View features for channels coming through the cable box to the TV’s AUX input jack. For example, when you switch the TV’s input to
AUX — to select the cable box input — the picture displays only in the left window. If you turn on Twin View, you can watch cable channels coming into the VHF/UHF jack in the right window, but you cannot SWAP the pictures between the left and right windows.
For details about Twin View, see page 46.

To connect the cable box and cable
1 Connect the cable from your cable company to the TV’s
VHF/UHF jack.
2 Use a coaxial cable to connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s input jack. (The TV’s internal converter lets you switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.)

Glossary
analog signal aspect ratio
A signaling method that uses continuous changes in the amplitude or frequency of an electronic transmission to convey information.
Refers to the ratio between the width and height of the screen. This TV has a 4:3 aspect ratio, as opposed to a 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio.
4:3 aspect ratio 16:9 aspect ratio component video Component video is sent through three cables: two color shade (chrominance) signals and one brightness (luminance) signal. Component video achieves greater color accuracy than composite video or S VIDEO by splitting chrominance into two separate portions. composite video degauss digital television (DTV)
National Television System
Committee (NTSC)
RF
S VIDEO
VHF/UHF
480i
480p
720p
1080i
Composite video is sent through a single cable. Composite video combines the color shade
(chrominance) and brightness (luminance) information into one video signal.
A process that demagnetizes the metal components in the TV monitor, which eliminates image distortion that can result from magnetic charges acquired by the TV’s components. Your TV degausses automatically when it is turned on.
A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV provides clearer resolution and improved sound quality over analog television.
A unit of the Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, that establishes television standards in the United States, such as NTSC Color, the standard used in this TV.
Radio Frequency. That part of the frequency spectrum in which it is possible to radiate
(transmit) electromagnetic waves.
S VIDEO requires a single cable, which carries the brightness (luminance) and color
(chrominance) signals of the picture separately. S VIDEO provides better resolution than composite video, which carries the signals together.
VHF (Very High Frequency) is the part of the radio spectrum from 30 to 300 megahertz. UHF
(Ultra High Frequency) is the part of the radio spectrum from 300 to 3,000 megahertz.
Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines.
Provides 480 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which transmits each line from top to bottom.
Provides 720 lines of resolution. Displays images using progressive scanning, which transmits each line from top to bottom.
Provides 1080 lines of resolution. Displays images using interlaced scanning, which first transmits all the odd lines on the TV screen and then the even lines. 1080i is one of the formats used by HDTV (High Definition TV).
