NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.• Turn off the TV and/or device(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables.• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important SafetyInstructions at the beginning of the User's Guide.Protect Devices from Overheating• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the devices. Arrange the devices so that air cancirculate freely.• Don’t stack devices.• If you place devices in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated airfrom it won’t flow around other devices.Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.• If you place devices above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TVinstead of straight down the middle.• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twinlead cables away from audio/video cables.Use Indirect LightDon’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use softor indirect lighting.Check Supplied PartsCheck that the following parts were packed with your product.Remote controlPart # R130A12 AA batteries Power cord1 2 34 5 67 8 9ON•OFFINPUTMUTEGO BACKOKCLEARMENUPRESETSCCINFOSLEEPSOUNDFAVSKIPANTENNACH+CH-VOL+VOL-FREEZEZOOM- ZOOM+Note: If you need to replace your remote, call 1-800-338-0376.
