Do not place any objects, especially heavy
objects, on top of the set. The object may fall
from the set, causing injury.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions
should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.
Cleaning
Use
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly
dampened with water for cleaning the exterior
of the set.

This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire
grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding).
Refer to the following instructions:
Always use two or more people to lift or move the set. The set is
heavy and the bottom surface is flat. Serious injury can result
from trying to move the set by yourself alone, or from unsteady
handling.
Install the set on a stable, level surface.
For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug
This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug still fails to fit, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated
sets near water — for example,
near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, etc.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-
type power outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to have a
suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding plug.

in the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the
set to normal operation.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

❏
Any video equipment you have connected to the AUX input cannot be viewed in the PIP window.
If you are viewing all channels through a cable box, the PIP feature will not work. The cable box
only unscrambles one signal at a time, so the window picture will be the same as the main picture.
❏

regular (CATV) channel and the output from a VCR, DVD player or satellite receiver on screen at the
same time using PIP. To do this:
