INSTALLATION
Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one blade of the plug is wider
than the other).
(POLARIZED-TYPE)
This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power outlet only one way. Should
you be unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
Should it still fail to fit, contact your electrician.
Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the
operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery
operation, refer to the operating instructions.
Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power
cords and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service
technician for replacement.
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV
set where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire
hazard.
Do not use this TV set near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.

8 TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow heat generated
during operation to be released.
Therefore:
- Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV set by placing it on a
bed, sofa, rug, etc.
- Never place a TV set in a “built-in” enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
- Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.
- Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat register.
9 To avoid personal injury:
-Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.
- Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV set manufacturer.
- Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.
- Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should
use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.
USE
IO Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet openings.
Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or electrical shock.
11 Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or an
aerosol cleaner.
12 Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for this purpose.
Such additions may result in a hazard.
13 For added protection of the TV set during a lightning storm or when the TV set is to be left
unattended for an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning storms or power line
surges.
SERVICE

sonnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the TV set.
C. If the TV set has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the TV set does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

F. When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a
need for service.
16 Do not attempt to service this TV set yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
17 When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify in writing
that the replacement parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the orig-
inal parts. Use of manufacturers specified replacement parts can prevent fire,
shock, or other hazards.
18 Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV set, please ask the service techni-
cian to perform the safety check described in the manufacturers service literature.
19 When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a pic-

Button Functions - PIP
PIP displays two separate pictures on screen. Your television has 2-Tuner PIP, meaning you can
view pictures from two different channels simultaneously. A special set of PIP control buttons are
located on the upper part of the remote control. Descriptions of each button appear on this page.
The PIP feature is available on models AW32F802 & AW27F802 only.
Cable Box Note
The 2-Tuner PIP function may not operate when used with certain cable boxes. This is because while
some models of cable box may receive up to 181 channels, they may only send the signal from one chan-
nel to your television (please also see diagram on page 11). For the PIP tuner to operate correctly, it must
have access to all available channels. Since the television is receiving the signal of only one channel from
the cable box, it is impossible for the 2-Tuner PIP to display a second, different channel.
Because there are many different models of cable boxes in use today, if you are having problems
operating your PIP feature with your cable box, we recommend you contact your local cable compa-
ny for connection advice.
