CAUTION The plug has one prong wider than the other and will fit only one way into a standard electrical outlet ( volt AC, wide prong 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. Note to CA system installers in the USA This reminder is provided to call the CA system installer s attention to Article - of the NEC, which provides guidelines for proper grounding, and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. Precautions Installing Place the on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you install the on a soft floor, make sure that the floor is not damaged by the weight of the. Place the far enough away from the walls to allow proper ventilation. This will prevent the from overheating and avoid possible damage to the. Avoid dusty places too. Damage may occur if you leave the in direct sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to extremely high temperatures or humidity, and temperatures of F( C) or lower. Using Do not stand or climb on the. Do not put any heavy object on top of the. Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks or cosmetics on the. If any foreign material or water leaks into the, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. If the room temperature suddenly rises, condensation may occur on the lenses, resulting in picture distortion or color fading. In such a case, simply wait a while (with the power on) and the condensation will evaporate. Avoid displaying stationary images on screen for extended periods of time. Stationary patterns generated by a picture-in-picture (PIP) display, Multi-Window display, computer displays, video games, stock market reports, etc., can become permanently engrained on the picture tube. This damage is not protected by your warranty because it is the result of misuse. If you wish to use to display still images, reduce brightness and contrast settings. Never leave a PIP, Multi-Window, computer, or video game display unattended. Sit approximately - feet away from the. Sitting too far to the left or right of the screen will cause the picture to appear dull as will direct sunlight and room lights. Turn the off to check for reflections on the screen. Then remove the source of any reflections while viewing. Cleaning Clean the with a soft dry cloth. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine which might damage the finish of the cabinet. If the cabinet is very dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe the cabinet clean, and then finish with a dry cloth.

If you have not connected electronic equipment before, or you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables are not supplied.) A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use F connectors. 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, you will see that the terminals are color coded in the same manner as the cables. S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components. ColorStream cables come in sets of three. A ColorStream connection provides the best picture performance. a VC This connection allows you to watch local channels and video programs, play or record on the VC while watching, and to record from one channel while watching another channel.
