• Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
• Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, 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 cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended
by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to
follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Ventilation — 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.
• Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 1,049,088 pixels, giving you fine picture details.
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this
does not affect the performance of your product.
• The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the
product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in
case the panel breaks.
• Lightning — 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.
• Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines
or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
• Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.

5
• Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

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.

billion U.S. consumer electronics industry. More than 2,200 companies enjoy the
benefits of CEA membership, including legislative advocacy, market research,
technical training and education, industry promotion and the fostering of business
and strategic relationships.
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. Some wall mounts are not
designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a
professional installer.
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical
leakage in old batteries.
• Remove batteries as soon as they are worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries that come in contact with skin can cause a
rash. If you find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove batteries from it.

Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal
without tools (Commercially available).
F-type connector
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
F-type connector
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
75-ohm coaxial cable
NOTICE
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 (Commercially available).
F-type connector should be finger-
tightened only.
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not
tighten F-type connector with tools.
If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV
set. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)
13
Preparation
Using the remote control unit
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on the
TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor may
prevent proper operation.
Cautions regarding the remote control unit
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote
control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause
deformation of the remote control unit.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on the TV is
under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or
the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.
