Pull the power cord out by the plug.  Do not pull
the power cord itself.  Even if your TV is turned
off, it is still connected to the AC power source
(mains) as long as the power cord is plugged in.
Unplug the TV before moving it or if you are not
going to use it for several days.

Install the TV on a stable TV stand and floor
which can support the TV set weight. Ensure that
the TV stand surface is flat and its area is larger
than the bottom area of the TV.

Tips
• If you want to stop automatic channel presetting, press SELECT twice.
• If your TV has preset an unwanted channel or cannot preset a particular

channel, then preset your TV manually (see page 10).

Note
• During automatic channel presetting, your TV screen will indicate “B/G” ,

“I”, “D/K” or “M” for the TV system (“TV SYS”).

Notes
• If you connect a monaural VCR, connect the yellow plug to 

 (the yellow jack)

and the black plug to  -L (MONO) (the white jack).

• If you connect  a VCR  to the 8 (antenna input) terminal, preset the signal output

from the VCR to the program number 0 on the TV.

• If both 

 (S video input) and t 1 (video input) at the rear of your TV are input

at the same time, the 

 (S video input) is automatically selected. To view the

video input to t 1 (video input), disconnect the S video cable.

• Do not connect video equipment to the t 2 (video input) jacks at the front and the

rear of your TV at the same time; otherwise the picture will not be displayed
properly on the screen.

• When no signal is input from the connected video equipment, the TV screen

becomes blue.

CAUTION
• Do not plug in the power cord until you have completed making all other

connections; otherwise a minimum leakage current might flow through the
antenna and other terminals to ground.

• To avoid battery leakage and damage to the remote, remove the batteries from

the remote if you are not going to use it for several days. If any liquid that leaks
from the batteries touches you, immediately wash it away with water.

Note
• Do not use old batteries nor use different types of batteries together.
