REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against hamlfifl interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference with radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or teleMision reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment oft" and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antennas.

To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized AC
plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet
unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade
exposure.
i
When using TV games, computers, and similar products
with your projection TV. keep the brightness and contrast
functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern
is left on the screen for long periods of time at a high
brightness or contrast setting, the image can be
permanently imprinted onto the screen. Continuously
watching the same program can cause the imprint of
station logos onto the TV screen. These types of imprints
are not covered by your warranty because they are the
result of misuse.

Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your warranty and
yonr authority to operate this equipment.

This television receiver provides display of television
closed captioning in accordance with §15.119 of the FCC
rules.

The screen surface has a special coating to reduce
reflections. To prevent screen damage, clean the screen as
follows:
Clean the screen with a soft cloth, such as the
supplied cleaning cloth or a glass cleaning cloth.
To remove hard contamination, use the supplied
cleaning cloth or a glass cleaning cloth moistened
with a solution of mild detergent and water. Do not
spray cleaning solution directly to the TV. It should
only be first sprayed to moisten the cleaning cloth.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline
cleaner, acid cleaner, scouring powder, chemical
cloth, or solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner,
as these may scratch the screen's coating.

light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact
with such power lines or circuits.
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.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in
USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in
Canada provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

quality (compared to an A/V cable). Because S VIDEO carries only
the video signal, you also need to connect audio cables for sound, as
