13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna

or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protec-

tion against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

No. 70, provides 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. (Fig. A)

19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this unit from the wall

outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel

under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

unit.

c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the oper-

ating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are cov-

ered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment

of other controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore

the unit to its normal operation.

14.Lightning-For added protection for this unit receiver dur-

ing 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 or cable system. This will

prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line

surges.

e. If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance,

this indicates a need for service.

15.Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into

such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside

antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from

touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them

might be fatal.

20.Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required,

be sure the service technician has used replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer that have the same character-

istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may

result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other haz-

ards.

21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to

this unit, ask the service technician to perform routine safe-

ty checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating

condition.

16.Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension

cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17.Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind

into this unit through openings as they may touch danger-

ous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a

fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the

unit.

22.Heat-This unit product should be situated away from heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous

voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified

service personnel.

CAUTION:TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY

INSERT.

PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT COPYRIGHT INFORMATION

LOCATION

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of

your unit, keep the following in mind when selecting

a place for its installation:

Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away

from sources of intense heat.

Avoid dusty or humid places.

Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper

heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes

at the top and bottom of the unit. Do not place the

unit on a carpet because this will block the ventila-

tion holes.

Install the unit in a horizontal position.

Avoid locations subject to strong vibration.

Do not place the unit near strong magnetic fields.

Avoid moving unit to locations where temperature

differences are extreme.

Be sure to unplug the AC power cord from the out-

let before carrying the unit.

Unauthorized recording or use of broadcast televi-

sion programming, video tape, film or other copy-

righted material may violate applicable copyright

laws. We assume no responsibility for the unautho-

rized duplication, use, or other acts which infringe

upon the rights of copyright owners.

•

FCC WARNING- This equipment may gener-

ate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or

modifications to this equipment may cause

harmful interference unless the modifications

are expressly approved in the instruction man-

ual. The user could lose the authority to oper-

ate this equipment if an unauthorized change

or modification is made.

•

RADIO-TV INTERFERENCE

•

This equipment has been tested and found to com-

ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-

suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are

designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be deter-

mined by turning the equipment off and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-

ence by one or more of the following measures:

1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2) Increase the separation between the equipment

and receiver.

AVOID THE HAZARDS OF

ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

•

Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting

it from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

If, by accident, water is spilled on your unit, unplug

the power cord immediately and take the unit to our

Authorized Service Center for servicing.

•

Do not put your fingers or objects into the unit cas-

•

sette holder.

Do not place anything directly on top of the unit.

•

WARNING

Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit

when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place,

or after heating a cold room or under conditions of

high humidity. If a tape is played in a unit which has

moisture, it may damage the tape and unit. Therefore

when the condensation occurs inside the unit, turn

the unit on and allow at least 2 hours for the unit to

dry out.

3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a cir-

cuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

4) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

The serial number of this product may be found on the back of the unit. No other unit has the same serial

number as yours. You should record the number and other vital information here and retain this book as a per-

manent record of your purchase to aid identification in case of theft. Serial numbers are not kept on file.

DEGAUSSING

This television has a degaussing circuit that will clear

up color errors on the TV screen that are caused by

any excess magnetism which happens to get too close

to the TV. This circuit is designed to operate once

when the set is first plugged in. If minor color errors

are seen in some locations on the screen, please

unplug the TV for approximately 30 minutes. When

the TV is plugged back in, the degaussing circuit will

operate once to clear them up. Repeat this procedure

any time the TV screen is accidentally magnetized or

when the TV is moved or relocated.

CLOSED CAPTION PROBLEM

POSSIBLE REMEDY

Misspelling in captions

Error committed by the closed captioning production company.

Possible in a live broadcast. Not in case of a prerecorded program.

A few seconds of delay is common for live broadcast.

Display capacity may not exceed 220 words per minute. If a dialogue

exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions

remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.

•

Text is not shown in its entirety or

a delay occurs from what is being

said.

Captions scrambled with white

boxes

Caused by interferences of building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc.

No captions in a program which

must contain closed caption

The broadcast may use a time compression process to speed up the

program. The decoder cannot read the compressed information and

captions will be lost.

Possibility of a illegal copy or an erroneous copying process

accidentally performed by the fabricator.
