CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :
It is recommend that appliances be placed upon a
dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which
powers only that appliance and has no additional
outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification
page of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not connect too many appliances to the same
AC power outlet as this could result in fire or elec-
tric shock.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall out-
lets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords,
frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire
insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions
could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and
have the cord replaced with an exact replacement
part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power
cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as
being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall
outlets, and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.
Do not make the TV with the power cord plugged
in. Do not use a damaged or loose power cord. Be
sure do grasp the plug when unplugging the power
cord. Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the
TV.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, do not expose this product to rain, moisture
or other liquids. Do not touch the TV with wet
hands. Do not install this product near flammable
objects such as gasoline or candles or expose the
TV to direct air conditioning.
As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall out-
let, it is not disconnected from the AC power
source even if you turn off this unit by SWITCH.
Do not expose to dripping or splashing and do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, cups,
etc. on or over the apparatus (e.g. on shelves above
the unit).
GROUNDING
Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to
prevent possible electric shock. (i.e. a TV with a
three-prong grounded AC plug must be connected
to a three-prong grouned AC outlet) If grounding
methods are not possible, have a qualified electri-
cian install a separate circuit breaker.
Do not try to ground the unit by connecting it to
telephone wires, lightening rods, or gas pipes.
DISCONNECTING DEVICE FROM MAINS
Mains plug is the disconnecting device. The plug
must remain readily operable.
Dot Defect
The Plasma or LCD panel is a high technology
product with resolution of two million to six million
pixels. In a very few cases, you could see fine dots
on the screen while you’re viewing the TV. Those
dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the
performance and reliability of the TV.
Generated Sound
“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs
when watching or turning off the TV is generated
by plastic thermal contraction due to tempera-
ture and humidity. This noise is common for prod-
ucts where thermal deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low
level noise is generated from a high-speed switch-
ing circuit, which supplies a large amount of cur-
rent to operate a product. It varies depending
on the product.
This generated sound does not affect the per-
formance and reliability of the product.

ANTENNAS
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precau-
tions below. An outdoor antenna system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can
come in contact with such power lines or circuits as
death or serious injury can occur.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to pro-
vide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in
the U.S.A. provides information with respect to prop-
er grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes and requirements for the grounding elec-
trode.
Antenna grounding according to the
National Electrical Cod
e
e, ANSI/NFPA 70
Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and scrub
gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not
spray water or other liquids directly on the TV as
electric shock may occur. Do not clean with chemi-
cals such as alcohol, thinners or benzene.
Moving
Make sure the product is turned off, unplugged
and all cables have been removed. It may take 2 or
more people to carry larger TVs. Do not press
against or put stress on the front panel of the TV.
Ventilation
Install your TV where there is proper ventilation. Do
not install in a confined space such as a bookcase.
Do not cover the product with cloth or other mate-
rials (e.g.) plastic while plugged in. Do not install in
excessively dusty places.
Take care not to touch the ventilation openings.
When watching the TV for a long period, the venti-
lation openings may become hot.
If you smell smoke or other odors coming from the
TV, unplug the power cord contact and authorized
service center.
Do not press strongly upon the panel with a hand or
sharp object such as nail, pencil or pen, or make a
scratch on it.
Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
For LCD TV
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be
a small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is
normal, there is nothing wrong with TV.
Some minute dot defects may be visible on the
screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue
spots. However, they have no adverse effect on
the monitor's performance.
Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your
finger(s) against it for long periods of time.
Doing so may produce some temporary dis-
tortion effects on the screen.

FEATURES OF THIS TV
■
When a fixed image (e.g. logos, screen menus, video game, and computer display) is displayed on the TV
for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on the screen. This phenomenon is known
as “image burn” or “burn-in.” Image burn is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
■
In order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a fixed image on your TV screen for a prolonged period
(2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma).
■
Image burn can also occur on the letterboxed
areas of your TV if you use the 4:3 aspect
ratio setting for an extended period.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO PREVENT “IMAGE BURN
/ BURN-IN” ON YOUR TV SCREEN
Automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of
human voice frequency range to help keep dialogue
audible when background noise swells.
LG TV include a unique invisible speaker system,
tuned by renowned audio expert, Mr. Mark Levinson.
Speakers are embedded in strategic spots behind the
front cabinet and use minute vibrations to turn the
entire front bezel into the speaker system. The result
is a clean, polished look, and enhanced audio by
increasing the “sweet spot”, giving a wider and richer
sound field.

High-definition television. High-resolution digital
television broadcast and playback system composed
of roughly a million or more pixels, 16:9 aspect-ratio
screens, and AC3 digital audio. A subset of digital
television, HDTV formats include 1080i and 720p
resolutions.
Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness
of ambient light, LG’s “Intelligent Sensor” uses 4,096
sensing steps to evaluate its surroundings. Using a
sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes picture
quality elements including brightness, contrast, color,
sharpness and white balance. The result is a picture
optimized for it’s surroundings, more pleasing to
watch and which can also save up to 50% in power
consumption.
