easy because there is only one 75Π (ohm) antenna plug onthe back of your TV, and that s where the antenna goes.

1 If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end,then you’re ready to connect it to the TV.If your antenna has flat, twin-lead wire (300 ohm), youfirst need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a300- to 75-ohm adapter.

2 Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the75Π (ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end ofthe antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

3 Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TVon. Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features onpage 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to theANTENNA option. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to programall the available channels on your cable signal into the televi-sion s memory.

CLEANING AND CARE

WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TVScreen: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screenfor extended periods of time. This can cause unevendisplay aging.Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of picturesthat contain constantly moving and changing images that fill thescreen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving images on screen forextended periods of time, or to display the same images onscreen too frequently, because subtle ghost images can be lefton the picture tubes. Sources of stationary images may be DVDdisks, laser disks, video games, CD-i disks, videotapes, digitaltelevision boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels, satellitechannels, and others. Here are some examples of stationaryimages (this is not an all-inclusive list; you may encounterothers in your viewing):• DVD menus—listings of DVD disk content• Letterbox black bars—shown at the top and bottom of the

TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on aTV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio.

• Video-game images and scoreboards• Television station logos—present a problem if they are

bright and stationary; moving or low-contrast graphics areless likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tube

• Stock-market tickers—presented at the bottom of the TVscreen

• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays—brightand shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location onthe TV screen.

PLACEMENT OF THE TV• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and

increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV wheretemperatures can become excessively hot; for example, indirect sunlight or near a heating appliance.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or spongedampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a mild soapor detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.Do not use acetone, toluene, or alcohol to clean the screen.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the backcover of the set.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals onor near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marringof the cabinet finish.
