Taking Care of Your TV  
Turn the power off before you begin cleaning the  
TV.  
For best results, use a clean lens cloth to  
remove dust and fingerprints from the screen.  
Do not wipe the shell of the TV with alcohol,  
methanol, gasoline or oil products to avoid  
damaging the finish. Wipe the shell with a dry  
soft cloth and use neutral cleaning fluids.  
GAS  
OIL  
If your model has leather components, wipe the  
leather parts with a dry cloth and keep the area  
dry. Place the TV far from sources of steam to  
avoid making the leather wet.  
Be careful to remove the power plug correctly.  
Hold the plug instead of pulling the power cord.  
Arrange the power cord with other cords to avoid  
knotting or bending which may cause fire due to  
damage or electric leakage.

Glossary  
Aspect Ratio The ratio of width to height of a film, image or display screen.  
Broadcast TV Broadcasting video signals using high-frequency electromagnetic  
waves to distribute television channels to viewers (standard TV broadcast).  
CATV Community Antenna Television, the original name for cable TV. A television  
distribution system that uses coaxial cable instead of the traditional radio broad-  
casting (over-the-air) method to deliver television, FM radio, and other services to  
consumers.  
Color Temperature Adjusting the color temperature enables you to set the inten-  
sity of white light. Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K). Higher color tem-  
peratures result in a blue tint. Lower temperatures result in a red tint.  
Hue Colors in a color system are measured by hue, saturation and luminance.  
Hue indicates the predominant color.  
LCD Liquid Crystal Display. A display technology that uses rod-shaped molecules  
(liquid crystals) that flow like liquid and bend light.  
MAIN is the default audio signal belonging to a particular channel.  
MTS Multi-channel Television Sound. Enables reception of audio other than the  
primary (MAIN) audio signal. SAP (Second Audio Program) enables reception of a  
separate channel that may be a different language or completely different informa-  
tion such as the news.  
RCA connector An RCA or phono connector is a plug and socket for a two-wire  
(signal and ground) coaxial cable that is widely used to connect audio and video  
components. RCA sockets are commonly found at the rear of A/V equipment.  
Saturation Chromatic purity indicating the amount of white contained in a color.  
Fully saturated colors are pure colors; less saturated colors appear as pastel  
shades.  
S-Video Super-video, a video cabling standard used to transmit video by keeping  
brightness (Y) and color information (C) on separate channels. Most often used  
with camcorders, VCRs, and quality receivers and amplifiers to provide sharper pic-  
tures.
