CONSIDERATIONS
PLEASE READ AND OBSERVE
EACH SAFETY
POINT IN THE "SAFETY
TIPS" FOLDER 'WHEN
STALLING
AND USING YOUR TV.

Before you install your TV...
Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your TV
running cool. Air circulates through perforations
in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do not
block these vents or you will shorten the life of
your TV.

PATTERN
DISPLAY
CAUTION -- If you use your TV for
video games, teletext or other fixe:l displays, avoid setting the
BRIGHTNESS
control for an excessively bright picture. A
bright, fixed pattern, if used for long periods of time, can
result in a permanent imprint on the TV picture tube. You
can reduce this possibility by alternating the use of the fixed
pattern display with normal TV picture viewing, by turning
down the CONTRAST
control for sustained fixed pwLtern use,
and by turning off the fixed pattern display when not in use.

Power Source -- Your TV is designed to operate
on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC.
Do not attempt to operate it on I)(2 current.
Power Cord -- Your power cord has a polarized
plug as required by Underwriters' Laboratories. It
has one regular blade and one wide blade and fits
only one way into a standard electrical outlet. If
the blades will not enter either way, your outlet is
very old and non-standard. A new outlet should be
installed by a qualified electrician.

PLUGGING
IN YOUR TV --- Be sure to plug your TV into
an "unswitched"
AC power source. The "switched"
AC outlets fo_and on some video equipment will not continue supplying power to the TV once the equipment is turnecl off. If the

Safe Operation -- Your TV is manufactured and
tested with your safety in mind. However, unusual
stress caused by dropping or mishandling, exposure to flood, fire, rain or moisture, or accidental
spilling of liquids into the TV, can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. If this happens, have your TV checked by a service
technician before using it again.

INTRODUCTION
METHODS

OF OPERATION

Your new II---TT__[--_TV is a very sophisticated appliance. Optional features, video picture adjustments and audio sound adjustments are performed through on-screen menus and displays. Self explanatory ICONS are used throughout. Most features can be selected and adjusted from the comfort of your favorite chair by using either of the infrared remote controls.
Either of two remote controls can be used to operate the TV. Use the multi-brand programmable remote if you have different brands
and types of equipment in your video system which you need to control remotely. Use the Z-Trak progr;unmable remote if you feel
comfertable using track-ball access similar to that provided by the familiar computer mouse device. Many features can be selected
and adjusted by using the control panel provided on the TV.
StarSight provides ',anelectronic programming guide which is updated with new scheduling information automatically on a periodic
basis. StarSight allows you to rapidly scan through the programming guide to find a program for viewing or recording. Programs
can be searched and selected by category if desired.

CONTROL

INTRODUCTION
This universal

remote control

operates

the common

features

of most, but not all, model,; and brands of IR (infrared)

controlled

TVs,

VCRs, cable boxes, video disc players, and audio equipment. The remote may provide functions that are not available on your equipment, e.g., menu operations. Some functions of optional equipment may not be controlled by this remote. In such cases, use the
original remote control for your equipment.

BATTERY

INSTALLATION

Batteries are provided, but must be installed before using the remote control. When
it no longer functions normally, or when it loses memory, replace the batteries with
two high-quality, alkaline, size AAA batteries. Match plus with plus (+ with +),
minus with minus (- with -) in the battery compartment.
Unless your equipment responds to the factory preset codes,
i.e.. 101 for "IN', 201 for VCR, 353 for CABLE, and 401 for
AUX., you will need to reprogram the remote with the codes
of your particular equipment after you replace batteries.
NOTES:
Ca Do not place heavy objects on top of the remote control
keys. Prolonged unintentional
operation of the remote shortens battery life.
Cl Remove the batteries if the remote will not be used for a
month or more.
