Remote control usage tips
• Do not let the remote control become wet, or place it in humid environments (like
bathrooms.)
• If the remote control sensor window on the TV is in direct sunlight or strong light, the
remote control may not operate properly. In this situation, change the light source or
readjust the angle of your TV, or operate the remote control from a location closer to
the remote control sensor window on the TV.
• The remote control must be held at an
angle within 30 degrees of the TV's
remote control sensor window to
function correctly. The distance
between the remote control and the
sensors should not exceed 6 meters.
• Do not cover the sensor window on the
front of the TV, or place objects in front
of it which will block the direct line-of-
sight between the remote control and
the sensor window on TV.

Getting to know your TV20
• “X” means that the related aspect ratio is not available.
• Available aspect ratio options are dependent on the type of input signal being
selected. When the TV is connected to a computer (via D-Sub or HDMI), only 16:9
and 4:3 are available for selection.
• If the input video signal is inletter box format, select “Zoom” to obtain a wider viewable
area.
• To avoid possible “image retention” or “screen burn-in” on the LCD screen of your TV,
it is recommended that you change the aspect ratio from time to time and prevent the
TV from displaying a static image for a prolonged period of time.
• The available menu items are dependent on the input source being selected.
Unavailable items will be greyed out or not displayed.
