13. LIGHTNING

To protect your unit during 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.

14. POWER LINES

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, 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.

15. OVERLOADING

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Do not push objects through any openings in this unit as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could

result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.

17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide

some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

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 elec-

trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

18. SERVICING

CATV CONNECTIONS

Incoming CATV

This television has an extended tuning range

and can tune most cable channels without

using a cable company supplied converter

box. Some cable companies offer "premium

pay channels" in which the signal is

scrambled. Descrambling these signals for

normal viewing requires the use of a

descrambler device which is generally

provided by the cable company.

Converter/Descrambler

Switch

Splitter

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the antenna jack on the

back of the television.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the converter/

descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the antenna jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown left. Set the

television to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/

descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B switch box from the cable

installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown left. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any

nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually

channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.

CONNECTION TO OTHER EQUIPMENT

The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the TV is dependent on the model and features of each

component. Check the Owner's Manual provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.

The connection diagrams below are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them to accommodate your particular assortment of compo-

nents. The diagrams are intended to show component video and audio interconnections only.

NOTE: If using a monaural video and audio components, connect AUDIO IN (L/MONO) jack to AUDIO OUT using only one audio cable.
