Lightning

For added protection during a lightning storm, or

when left unattended and unused for long periods

of time, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will

prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and

powerline surges.

Maintenance

Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the wall outlet

before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or

aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

Damage Requiring Service

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer for

servicing to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:

1) When the power cord or plug is damaged or

frayed.

2) If liquid has been spilled into the unit.

3) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

4) If the unit does not operate normally when

following the operating instructions. Adjust

only those controls that are covered by the

operating instructions because improper

adjustment of other controls may result in

damage to the unit and will often require

extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the unit to normal operation.

5) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet

has been damaged.

6) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in

performance - this indicates a need for service.

Do not attempt to service the unit yourself because

opening or removing covers may expose you to high

voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer

or having the same characteristics as the original

part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,

electric shock or other hazards.

Safety Check - After completion of any service or

repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to

perform a safety check to ensure that the unit is in

proper operating condition.

Electric Power

Power Sources - This unit should be operated only

from the type of power source indicated on the

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power

supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer

or local power company. To operate this unit on

battery power, or other sources, refer to the

operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided

with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug

having one blade wider than the other). This plug

will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a

safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug

fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug

should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug.

Overloading - Do not allow anything to rest on the

power cord. Do not overload wall outlets and

extension cords because this can result in fire or

electric shock. Do not place the unit in an area where

people will walk on the cord.

Outdoor Antenna

Power lines - An outside antenna system should

not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines

or other electric light or power circuits, or where it

can fall onto such power lines or circuits. When

installing an outside antenna system, extreme care

should be taken to avoid touching power lines or

circuits because contact with them may be fatal.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside

antenna or cable system is connected to the unit,

be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded

so as to provide some protection against voltage

surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of

the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70,

provides information with regard to proper grounding

of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of

the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size

of grounding conductors, location of antenna-

discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirements for the grounding electrode. See

the figure.

Notes

•After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in

effect until it is changed, even if the channel is

changed.

•If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a

break in the signal, the captions will reappear when

the signal is received again.

•When selecting closed captions, the captioning might

be delayed momentarily.

•If the channels are changed, the captions might be

delayed momentarily.

•If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very

poor, the closed caption decoder text may not appear.

In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or

use an outdoor antenna.

•When activating the closed captioned decoder, there will

be a short delay before the closed captioned text appears

on the screen.

•The captions will appear in places on the screen where

they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the

bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show

three-line closed captions which scroll onto the screen.

•

Most other shows provide two or three lined captions

placed near the character who is speaking so the

viewer can follow the dialogue.

•If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear,

but the television will remain in the caption mode.

•Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally

appear during closed captioning. This is normal with

closed captioning, entered live. These transmissions

do not allow time for editing.

•Some cable systems and copy protection systems

may interfere with the closed captioned signal.

•Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in

foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words

that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical

notes.

•For television programs broadcasting with closed

captions, look in your TV guide for the closed captions

symbol (CC).
