Installing Your TV Set
Where to install
Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform.
WARNING : TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
Do not stand or climb on the TV.
G
G
The mounting surface should be flat and steady.
Do not put a VCR or any heavy object on top of
the TV.
Lighting
Do not place the TV in a room where direct lighting
CAUTION :
strikes the screen. Use soft and indirect lighting.
As a safety feature, the plug has one prong wider
than the other. It will fit only one way into a standard
electrical outlet. If the plug will not fit into the
outlet, try turning it around. If the plug will not fit
either way, the outlet is probably old and non-stand-
ard.
Air circulation
Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow
proper ventilation. This will prevent the TV from
overheating and avoid possible damage to the TV.
Avoid dusty places too.
You will need to have a new outlet installed by an
electrician.
Power supply
DO NOT CHANGE THE SAFETY FEATURE OF
THE PLUG.
Plug into an electrical outlet with standard household
power (120 volt AC, 60Hz). Do not change the
plug’s safety prong. See the right column.

Antenna/Cable TV Connection
You can use either an indoor or outdoor antenna to receive VHF and/or UHF channels.
Channels 2 - 13 are VHF channels, and channels 14 - 69 are UHF channels.
We recommend using an outdoor antenna for better picture quality.
You can receive Cable TV by connecting a cable supplied by your local cable company.

Cleaning and Care
WARNING: TV sets use High Voltage. Do not try to remove the cabinet back. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
I To clean the TV screen:
1. First remove the plug from the power outlet to avoid
possible shock hazard.
I To maintain the finish and appearance of the cabinet,
polish it from time to time with a quality furniture

too much water on the TV screen. Water spills into
the cabinet and may cause damage to the TV.

other chemicals on or near cabinet, as they might
damage the finish of the cabinet.
