The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance,
video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components
require. Also determine the length of cable you will need.
Installation
Receiver Location
This unit is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for available options.
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the
screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture.
To ensure optimum color purity do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.
Optional External Equipment
AC Power Supply Cord
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot of AC outlet and fully insert. Do not use this
(polarized) plug with a receptacle or other outlet unless the blade can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
Please take safety precautions to prevent the unit
from falling over.
The unit may fall over during earthquakes, or if
someone stands on or shakes the  TV.
Safety Precaution
Fixing to a wall
Use a strong rope or a chain (not
included) to fasten the TV firmly to a
strong support such as a wall or pillar.

Remote Control Battery Installation
     Precaution on battery use
Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that will damage the remote control transmitter.
Observe the following precautions:
1.   Batteries should always be replaced as a pair. Always use new batteries when replacing the old set.
2.   Do not combine a used battery with a new one.
3.   Do not mix battery types (example: “Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”).
4.   Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used batteries.
5.   Battery replacement is necessary when remote control acts sporadically or stops operating the TV set.
Requires two AA batteries.
1.   Turn the Transmitter face down.
Remove top cover by pressing
down on marking and sliding cover
off in the direction indicated.2.   Install the batteries as shown in
the battery compartment. (Polarity

Whenever you remove the batteries, you may need
to reset the remote control infrared codes. We
recommend that you record the code on page 64, prior
to setting up the remote control.
Helpful Hints:
For frequent remote control users, replace old batteries
with alkaline batteries for longer life.
Helpful Hints:
