CHILD SAFETY:  
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display  
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:  
THE ISSUE  
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays are popular  
purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed  
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.  
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,  
chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.  
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!  
The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.  
TUNE INTO SAFETY  
One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of  
your flat panel display.  
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.  
Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.  
Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.  
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat  
panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or  
knocked down.  
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be  
pulled or grabbed by curious children.  
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:  
Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent  
laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).  
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.  
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about  
professional installation.  
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate to support the weight of the unit/  
product and wall mount. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.  
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
CONDENSATION  
Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm  
room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, unit's performance will be impaired.  
To prevent this, let the unit stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure  
that the room temperature rises gradually.  
Condensation may also form during the summer if the unit is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In  
such cases, change the location of the unit.  
HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL  
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur.  
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause  
skin inflammation.  
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your  
eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.  
Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD Panel for  
long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and cause subtle but  
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your  
LCD Panel on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:  
• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.  
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on  
a normal (4:3) display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a  
widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on left and right sides of screen).  
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we disclaim any  
responsibility for these symptoms.  
• LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes  
parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots.  
This is not a sign of a malfunction.

Cable TV connections  
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV  
Converter box. Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” where the signal is scrambled.  
Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is  
generally provided by the Cable TV company.  
For subscribers to basic Cable TV service  
For basic Cable TV service not requiring a Converter/  
Descrambler box, connect the 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly  
to the Antenna Jack on the back of the TV.

Reception disturbances  
Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/  
UHF antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television  
interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV is connected to a Cable TV  
system, the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.  
IGNITION  
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or  
drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems,  
neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair  
dryers.  
GHOSTS  
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the  
direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other large  
objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve  
the reception.  
SNOW  
If the TV is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception area where  
the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.  
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external antenna  
may be necessary.  
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)  
Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving  
ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a loss of  
contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of the antenna  
or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.  
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION  
A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or  
BRIGHTNESS settings.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the TV from the power source before cleaning.  
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture.  
Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
