Important Safety Cautions
When any unusual situation occurs, turn off the power supply at once and remove
the plug from the wall outlet. Contact a qualified service department in your local
area.
Do not expose this unit in the rain or spatter by liquid. Do not use this product near
water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like. Do not use immediately after
moving from a low temperature to high temperature environment, as this causes
condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Heat sources-Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves
and other heat generating products (including amplifiers).
Requirement of environment temperature:
oo oo
20 C~50 C for storage; 0 C~40 C for working
The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not
cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause
overheating and/or shorten the life of the product.
Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can
block ventilation openings.
This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an
enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners
or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Do not place the product on an unstable trolley, stand, tripod or table. Placing the
product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in
serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a trolley,
stand, tripod, and bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with
the product.

This TV set operates on power of 120V, 60Hz. You must not use a power supply of any
other type.
When relocating the product placed on a trolley, it must be moved with the utmost
care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surfaces can cause the
product to fall from the trolley.
The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them
or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product. Power-
supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
snagged by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
doors, plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
If the power cord or the plug is damaged contact a qualified service department for
service.
High Voltage exists in this TV set. Do not remove the cover.
In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person
uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same
characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts
can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment
due to lightning and power-line surges.
The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when
the product is dropped or impacted upon by other objects. Be careful not to be
injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks.
Don't try to push anything into the cabinet or place any vessel with water on the TV
set.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles on other
equipment as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Antenna connection
CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75- ohm coaxial cable to the
set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. Terminal.
Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled,
a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company.
This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. For more specific instructions on
installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by
your cable TV company is explained below. Please note:An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not
supplied).

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels by using theTV's channel keys.
"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler by using
the converter's channel keys.
Note: Consult your Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that might be required.
ANTENNAS
The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television
reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can
easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm
terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (not supplied).
OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION
Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor
antenna.
A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.
B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas.
Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT. terminal on the
rear of the TV set.
