NEC - NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE "Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical." 4. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect 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. 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 into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 2 FEATURES x Trilingual SPECIFICATIONS 181 Channel Tuning System VHF Channels 2-13 UHF Channels 14-69 Cable TV (CATV) 1, 14-125 PICTURE TUBE SIZE (Measured Diagonally) . . . . . . . . . 13-Inch screen PICTURE RESOLUTION . . . . . . . . . 260 Lines Video Input . . . . . . . . . . 260 Lines ANTENNA INPUT . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Because different types of captions can be transmitted with the TV signal, separate captioning modes are provided. The captioning modes recognized by this model are: Caption1, Caption2, Text1, and Text2. Local broadcasters decide which caption signals to transmit. They may not choose to provide captions or may provide captions in one or all of the available modes. Caption1: This is the main mode used for program captioning (words match the program you are watching). Almost all broadcasters will use Caption1 to transmit program captions. These captions are generally one or two lines. Caption2: This is an alternative mode for program captioning. Caption2 may be used by the broadcaster to provide captions in another language, such as, Spanish or French. If Caption Text mode is selected and no captioned text is broadcasted, a black box may appear and remain on the TV screen. TWO OUTS AND TWO STRIKES To remove this black box, set captioning to any mode other than Text1 or Text2 or press the RESET key to cancel captioning and customized settings. s Text1: This mode is used to display large amounts of text. This text will appear within a black box that may be nearly as large as the TV screen. Text displayed in this manner does not generally relate to the program. These captions may be used by broadcasters to provide weather reports, community bulletins, stock quotes, etc. Text2: This is an alternative mode used to display large amounts of text. The same types of information displayed in Text1 can be displayed in Text2. Quikcap: Quikcap allows captions to toggle on and off with the Mute function. For example, the phone rings; you press the MUTE key on the remote control to block the TV sound; the captions display automatically. When you finish your conversation and press the MUTE key again to restore the sound, the captions will disappear. Quikcap displays program captions in the Caption1 mode.

CAPTION MENU VOL CH VOL CARE AND CLEANING The surface of the cabinet can be damaged if not properly maintained. Many common household aerosol sprays, cleaning agents, solvents and polishes will cause permanent damage to the fine surface. 1. Unplug the power cord before cleaning the television. 2. Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft dry cloth. Note: Never spray liquids on the screen because they can run down and drip onto the chassis. This may cause component failure not covered under Warranty. This symbol on the nameplate means the product is Listed by Underwriters' Laboratories Inc. It is designed and manufactured to meet rigid U.L. safety standards against risk of fire, casualty and electrical hazards. 10 V-GUIDE INFORMATION NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S FCC V-CHIP REGULATIONS. THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT FUNCTION WITH BROADCASTS THAT ORIGINATE IN OTHER COUNTRIES. s QuickTips Use the CHANNEL / and VOLUME / keys to navigate through the menus and to make selections from the menus. V-Guide feature is accessible only from the remote control. The TV guidelines rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand corner of your TV screen. The V-Guide display remains on screen for approximately 20 seconds. If it disappears, press the V-GUIDE key. With the introduction of "V-Chip" technology, it is now possible for Sanyo televisions to interpret MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines rating codes. When these codes are detected, the TV will automatically display or block the program, depending upon choices you make when setting up the V-Guide system. V v WER PO 1 4 PT CA NU ME T SE RE 7 5 N 2 IO 3 VO L 8 6 0 9 SL TE MU P EE LL CA RE V-G DE UI CH VO L Y LA SP DI s ABOUT MPAA AND TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines are rating systems that provide advance cautionary information to parents about the content of movie and television programming. MPAA is a voluntary rating system used by the movie industry. TV Parental Guidelines are modeled after the MPAA ratings and were designed to be simple to use, easy to understand, and easy to find. TV Parental Guidelines contain both age-based and content-based information. This gives parents discretionary ways of choosing appropriate material for their children to view. Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Suggestive Dialog), L (Adult Language), S (Sexual Situations), V (Violence), and FV (Fantasy Violence). When programming contains any or all of these conditions, these letters become part of the icon that is displayed on the TV screen. A rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen for about fifteen seconds at the beginning of a program and should be repeated at the beginning of the second hour of a long program. It may also appear when returning from commercials. There may be other instances when these icons will be displayed as well. Parents are encouraged to become familiar with these icons and their meanings. s s WHERE CAN I FIND ADVANCE NOTICE OF PROGRAM RATING Publishers of programming guides have been asked to include these ratings along with other information they publish. You can expect to find this information in newspapers, magazines, and on-screen listings and guides. C 34 TYPES OF PROGRAMS TO RECEIVE RATING The TV Parental Guidelines will apply to various types of TV programming, including: specials, mini-series, and movies. Sports and news shows will not carry the guidelines. Rating: TVPG-V 11 QuickTips s V-GUIDE OPERATION Use this feature to supervise television viewing for young children. This television can be setup to automatically block programs with content you deem as inappropriate for your children to view, including: suggestive dialog, adult language, sexual situations, violence, and fantasy violence. The ability of the television to block the reception of specific programming content depends upon several conditions: 1) The program must be rated, 2) Networks must broadcast the rating code data, 3) Cable companies must transmit the rating code signal, and 4) The TV must be properly setup to decode the signal. The TV guidelines rating icon will generally appear at the upper left hand corner of your TV screen. The TV will automatically block (B) ratings above or unblock (U) ratings below selection. For example, if you block rating R, NC17 and X will be blocked as well. Blocking TVY7 does not block higher ratings. You can block a content rating such as TVPG-V and still be able to watch TVPG programs with ratings of S-L-D provided TVPG is unblocked (U). To view Blocked (B) programs, set V-GUIDE to OFF, or press the RESET key twice to clear all Blocked (B) ratings and customized settings. When in the V-Guide menu system, the / keys allows you to navigate between the ratings and the options menu. s s SETTING MPAA MOVIE RATING 1.
