About this Manual
This manual is for models KV-36FS13 and KV-36FS17. The menu and illustrations shown are for model KV-36FS17 to show the maximum features available. Differences in operation will be indicated in the text, for example, “For KV-36FS13 only.”
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 still fails 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 being 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.
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.
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.
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.
Installation
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
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, 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.
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.
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 place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.
❑
Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
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.

For added protection for this television receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna.
This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
Service
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
❑
When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
❑
If liquid has been spilled into the set.
❑

❑
If the set has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
❑
If the set does not operate normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the set to normal operation.
❑
When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the set, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to determine that the set is in safe operating condition, and to so certify. When the set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the set.

(KV-36FS17 only)
Use this hookup if:
❑
❑
Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you therefore need to use a cable box, and
You want to use the PIP feature.
With this setup you can:
❑
❑
❑
❑
Use the TV remote control to change cable box channels when the signal is scrambled.
Use the TV remote control to change TV channels when the signal is not scrambled. (Your TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)
Use the PIP feature.
Record both regular CATV and scrambled channels.
To connect a cable box and a VCR, you will need:
❑
❑
A small, inexpensive device known as a splitter.
Three coaxial cables.
❑ Either a combination audio/video cable, or an S VIDEO cable and audio cables.
1 Connect the CATV cable to the single (input) jack of the splitter.
2 Use a coaxial cable to connect one of the two output jacks of the splitter to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
3 Use a coaxial cable to connect the other output jack of the splitter to the input jack of the cable box.
4 Use a coaxial cable to connect the output jack of the cable box to the input jack of the VCR.
5 Use the video line (yellow) of a combination audio/video (A/V) cable to connect the video output jack of the VCR to the video input jack of the TV.
✍
If the VCR has an S VIDEO jack, you can use an S VIDEO cable to improve picture quality; replace the yellow video cable of the combination A/V cable with the S VIDEO cable. You will still need audio cables for sound.
Connect the left (white) and right (red) audio output channels of the VCR to the respective input channels on the TV.

Installing the TV
To use PIP with the Cable Box
❑ Turn on the cable box and VCR. Use the remote control’s TV/VIDEO
(yellow) button to set the PIP output to VIDEO 1. Change the PIP channel via the cable box. (The cable box’s tuner is used as the
PIP video source; if you do not turn on the cable box, the PIP will not work.)
✍
This system is needed because the cable box unscrambles only one channel at a time (unlike regular cable, which makes all channels available concurrently).

Using the Features
To change channels/programs in the PIP window
❑ Use the yellow PIP CH+ /- button to scroll through the TV channels.
❑ Use the yellow TV/VIDEO button to cycle through your other video equipment connected to the TV, such as your VCR, DVD player or Satellite Receiver.
Setups that affect your ability to use PIP
❑ Any video equipment you have connected to the AUX input cannot be viewed in the PIP window.
❑
❑
If you are viewing all channels through a cable box, the PIP feature will not work. The cable box only unscrambles one signal at a time, so the window picture will be the same as the main picture.
You can use PIP to see pictures from different sources on your TV.
For example, you can have a regular (CATV) channel and the output from a VCR or DVD player or satellite receiver on screen at the same time using PIP. To do this:
1 Connect the CATV cable to the UHF/VHF input on the back of the TV.
2 Connect the peripheral (VCR or DVD player or satellite receiver) to any of the VIDEO IN inputs on the the back of the
TV.
3 Tune to one image in the main picture.
4 Tune to a second image in the PIP window.
You can then SWAP the images on the TV screen.
