Selecting a location for the TV
q
Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location
where light does not directly hit the screen.
q
Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper
ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating,
which may damage the TV.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury:
q
Do not stand or climb on the TV.
q
Do not put a VCR or any heavy object on top of the TV.
Caution :
The plug has one prong wider than the other
and will fit only one way into a standard
electrical outlet (120 volt AC, 60 Hz). If the
plug does not fit into the outlet, try turning it
around. If the plug still does not fit, the outlet
is probably non-standard and must be
replaced by a qualified electrician. Do not
tamper with the plug or try to force it into a
non-standard outlet.

Connecting Your TV
If you haven't connected electronic equipment before, or you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this
section. (Cables are not supplied.)
q
A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use "F"
connectors.
q
Audio and video cables are usually color coded according to
use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The red
audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio
cable is for the stereo (or mono) left channel. If you look at
the rear panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are
color coded in the same manner as the cables.
q
S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video
cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.
Connecting a VCR
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video
programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and to
record from one channel while watching another channel.
Connecting a cable converter box
This connection allows you to watch cable and premium channels.
Tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your
area), then use the converter box to change channels.
Caution:
If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR
Audio OUT using only one audio cable.
If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-video
connections and remove the video cable.
Do not connect the video cable and the S-
video cable to VIDEO 1 simultaneously.
Note:
The VIDEO 2 jacks can also be used for
connecting a second piece of video
equipments, such as a DVD, laser disc player
and camcorder etc. with audio/video outputs.
See page 7 for one example.
Note:
When you use a converter box with your TV,
there may be features that you cannnot
program using the Remote Control, such as
block channel, and programming your
favorite channels.
