Cleaning and Care

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 buttononce or twice, or unplug (wait 10 seconds) and then replug the power cord at the ACoutlet. 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.

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 usinganything abrasive). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes whencleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a cleandry 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 marringof the cabinet finish.

Coaxial Cable * A single solid antenna wire normally matchedwith a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes)clirectly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.

.osed Caption * Broadcast standard which allows you to readthe voice content of television programs on the TV screen.

Designed to help the hearing impaired this feature uses on-screen"text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while the TV pro-

gram is in progress.

Direct Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV theseconnectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audioand video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other acces-sories) 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 CableConverter). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV

remote can operate and send commands to the other product.

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 theTelevision screen that are made available for user adjustments.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard,t-., allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

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

Television "remembers" only the locally available or desiredchannel 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.

Setup Mode * Automatic feature control settings made by the TV.

t)esigned for first time set-up and use. Settings for signal connec-

tions (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory areheld in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and moved

to a new location.)

Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or 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 theTelevision of on screen displays or information (rather than wait-

ing for the displays to "time out" or automatically disappear from

the screen).

Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the twostrand 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 andVCRs.
