Important safety instructions
Please read these instructions. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.
Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other Fixed
Image Displays
The extended use of xed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD panel.
This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary xed image. This type of irreversible
LCD/LED panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
2. Do not display the xed image for extended periods of time.
3. Turn the power o when not in actual use.
Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):
• TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos and pricing displays-especially if they are bright and stationary.
Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the screen.
• Time Displays
• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long period of time
• TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disk content
• Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching DVDs or
videos.
Important - Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’ occurs, it will never disappear and is not repairable under warranty.
How do I dispose of this product?
UK: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Separate disposal facilities exist. For
your nearest facilities, please see www.recycle-more.co.uk or in store for details.
ROI: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Separate disposal
facilities exist. Check with your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.
Batteries
• Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries.
• Do not use dierent types of batteries together or mix old and new batteries.
• Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.
• Certain regions may regulate the disposal of batteries.
Please consult your local authority

Getting started - initial set up
As part of our ongoing development to reduce power consumption, we have added an extra function to this Television called
‘Ecohome’ (you will see this during the first time installation set up). Power consumption using the Ecohome function is
approximately 15% lower than some other modes. The picture brightness is reduced using the Ecohome function. If this function is
not suitable for your viewing environment, you can select other modes as necessary. (Please note, ‘Professional’ mode is for optimum
default picture settings, however, power consumption is approximately 15% higher than ‘Ecohome’ mode)
Please refer to the user guide section ‘Picture settings’ in order to change the mode to one that maybe more suitable for your
environment. There is also a shortcut button on the remote control called ‘P-Mode’ should you wish to change to another mode.

3D O Default settings
Side by Side 3D format is commonly used in 3D broadcasting, works by halving the horizontal resolution of videos to
store left and right eye images in each frame. It eectively displays up to 960 x 1080 pixel pictures to each
eye, enabling TV stations to telecast 3D content at a much lower bandwidth compared with 3D Blu-ray discs.
Typical supported resolutions are limited to 720p and 1080i for 3D TV programs.
Users will need to manually select the correct 3D format to properly display side-by-side
3D content on a 3D TV.
Top Bottom 3D format is alternative for 3D broadcast, which is pretty similar to side-by-side 3D except that it halves the
vertical resolution instead. Available primarily up to 720p resolution, top-and-bottom 3D oers 1280 pixels
horizontally. The higher pixel count is generally considered more suitable for displaying panning motion in
sports programs.
Frame Packing As its name suggests, this format stacks the left and right eye images in each frame to retain the content's
original resolution for the best 3D pictures. Most, if not all, 1080p 3D Blu-ray movie discs and 720p PS3 3D
games are produced utilizing this technique. Another key dierentiator is that all 3D TVs should be able to
automatically detect frame-packing 3D signals and correctly display the content without user intervention.
Line by Line The picture signals for left and right eyes are interleaved in alternate lines. The left clip’s resolution is halved
then placed in the odd lines of the video stream. Correspondingly, the right clip’s resolution is halved then
placed in the even lines of the video stream. When combined the video stream totals 1920×1080.
