les deux ensembles avec precaution. Un arr_t

brusque, l'utilisation d'une force excessive

et des surfaces irr_gulieres risquent de

d_stabiliser l'ensemble et de le renverser.

9o VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back

or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable

operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, these

openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should

never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other

similar surface. This TV should never be placed near or over a

IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE

ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.

11 °GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION -This TV is equipped with a

polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade

wider than the other). 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 should still

fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12_ POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by

items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to

cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they

exit from the appliance.

13_OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable

system is grounded so as to provide some protection against

voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 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 electrodes, and requirements for

the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14o LIGHTNING - For added protection for thisTV receiver 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 theTV due

to lightning and power-line surges.

15_ POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located

in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of

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.

I & OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension

cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

'_7oOBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into

this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage

points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquid of any kind on theTV.

'_8_SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening

or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other

hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

'_9oDAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this TV from the wall

outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:

a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV.

c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If theTV does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the

operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls

may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a

qualified technician to restore the TV to its normal operation.

e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When theTVexhibits a distinct change in performance, this

indicates a need for service.

20° REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts are required, be

sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by

the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original

part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock,

injury to persons or other hazards.

21o SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this

TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to

determine that the TV is in proper operating condition.

22° HEAT-This TV product should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including

amplifiers) that produce heat.

A bout digital TV broadcasting:

With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting

far surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture

and sound quality.

What is the minor channel?

By using high compression technology, digital

broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple

signals to send simultaneously.

Therefore, you can select more than one program per

major channel since digital broadcasting technology

distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by

a single network.
