TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV scree,can cause picture tube damage.

When your TV is continuously used with such a sour, the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF.

Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button once or twice, or unplug (wait 10 seconds) and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet. This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.

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).

Wipe the front screen with a clean 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.

• 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 marrint_ of the cabinet finish.

30

Coaxial Cable * A single solid antenna wire normally matched with a metal plug (F-type) end connector thatscrews (or pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.

Display * An on screen message orgraphics that help the user operate and adjust his Television feature controls. See On Screen Displays

(OSD).

Direct 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.

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 send commands to and operate the other product.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard that

allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the

Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.

Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the Television's memory circuits. In this way the

Television "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

Television control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

Second Audio Program (SAP) * An additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV program material.

Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the

Television of on screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to "time out" or automatically disappear from the

Screen).

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.
