• Do not leave plastic bags within reach of young children or babies.

• Consider storing the packaging (if possible) for future transport of the TV.

• Check that you haven't left any accessory inside the packaging before discarding.

• For the primary safety of yourself and others, this TV should be handled with care to avoid damage to it or to persons which come into contact with it.

• If this TV is to be wall-mounted, please note that the maximum tightening torque of the TV’s mounting screw holes is 20kgf-cm.

Section 1: Quick Start Guide2

3. Select and prepare the installation location

In order to prevent potential dangers and prolong the service life of the TV, please observe the following points when installing, operating and cleaning the TV.

If wall mounting, have a qualified and experienced technician mount it safely. Use only a recommended wall bracket (optional accessory) for this TV and ensure that the bracket is securely screw fixed to the wall structure, and not just the wall render, lining or cladding. Do not just glue the bracket to the wall. Ensure the bracket is level horizontally.

Do NOT place the TV near water, like a spa or pool, or in a position which will allow the splashing or spraying of water onto the display, like in front of an open window where rain water may enter.

Do NOT place the TV near or above sources of heat, such as radiators, heaters, fuel stoves and other heat-generating items (including audio amplifiers). Otherwise heat may cause damages to the outer casing as well as the components inside.

If wall mounting, allow appropriate space on top for attaching the TV to the wall bracket.

If recessed into a wall opening, you must leave appropriate free space both top and bottom for mounting and removing the TV.

Do NOT cover or block the vents and openings while the TV is switched on, as the heat may accumulate inside the TV and result in danger.

This TV has no power switch. When installing the TV, incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring, or connect the power cord to socket-outlet which must be provided near the TV and easily accessible. If a fault should occur during operation of the unit, operate the disconnect device to switch the power supply off, or disconnect the power cord.

Do NOT place the TV in direct sun or where direct sun or spot lighting will shine onto the TV, as the heat may damage the TV and the bright light will make viewing the TV more difficult than necessary.

Do NOT place the TV on an uneven, sloping or unstable surface (such as a trolley) where it may fall and cause damage to itself or others. Have a qualified technician secure the TV where it is placed in case there is an earthquake.

Do NOT place the TV in an enclosed place without allowing for ventilation.

All Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screens have a very thin protective layer of glass which is liable to marking or scratching, and cracking if struck or pressured. The liquid crystal substrate is also liable to damage under excessive force or extreme temperatures. Please handle with care.

English

Observe all warnings and cautions as labelled on the TV.

Section 1: Quick Start Guide 3

4. Installing the stand

English

Before you start

Please pay attention to the following before installing the stand:

• For safety reasons, the installation should be performed by at least two adult persons.

• The TV’s LCD panel is extremely fragile and can become damaged easily. Avoid touching the panel when installing or moving the TV, and be careful not to let any objects come into contact with the panel. It is recommended that you use a soft, clean and lint-free towel to cover the TV when installing.

• Pay attention to the stability of the location where the TV will be placed. Otherwise the TV may topple over and result in damages and personal injuries. Have a qualified technician secure the TV appropriately in case there is an earthquake.

Installing the stand

1. Locate the TV, stand and screws

from the packaging, and have a suitable screwdriver ready.

5. Carefully lift the TV upright and check the installation. Move the TV to the position where it will be placed.

5. Connect the antenna cable

Connect a TV antenna cable flylead from your TV antenna system or Cable TV (CATV) decoder box to the TV input socket on the TV. Make sure that the cable connection is firmly in place.

• A poor quality TV signal will

produce a poor picture and/or sound on your TV. For high quality picture and sound, you will need a high quality TV signal. Depending upon your location, for best TV signal reception, you should have a properly aligned outdoor TV antenna system. If need be, consult a professional antenna specialist.

• This TV has a built-in analog TV tuner, which requires the TV antenna cable

connection to an external TV antenna system or CATV decoder. If you wish to make use of the digital LCD screen to view digital TV, you should connect an external digital TV tuner (decoder) set top box (STB) to the TV using a digital signal cable (HDMI or DVI) connection.

30 degrees

between the remote control and the sensors should not exceed 7 meters.

• Do not cover the sensor window on the front of the TV (beside the power indicator lamp), or place objects in front of it which will block the direct lineof-sight between the remote control and the sensor window on TV.

• 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.

Section 1: Quick Start Guide10

Care and cleaning information

• Always turn off and disconnect the TV from the mains power before cleaning.

• Do NOT use cream, liquid, aerosol or spray cleaners. Use only a slightly damp well wrung-out (drip-free) and lint-free, clean soft cloth and lightly wipe the TV.

• If necessary, use a pH-neutral liquid dish-washing detergent diluted with water on a separate clean lint-free cloth to remove oil or grease marks. Wipe over again with a clean dry lint-free cloth to remove any smear marks.

• Under close examination and in certain circumstances, you may notice that a few non-active pixels appear on the screen as a fixed point of color. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product as it is usually not visible at normal viewing distances.

• If the TV is not going to be used for an extended period of time (like when you are going away for holidays), it should be switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet. You should also consider removing the batteries from the remote control (as they may leak).

• LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screens, like plasma (PDP) and conventional CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screens, are also susceptible to 'screen burn-in' or 'image retention' which can be found on the screen as visible fixed lines and shades and can't be removed. To avoid such permanent damage to the screen, please take the following preventive measures when using your TV:

(1) Avoid displaying still images (like On-Screen Display menus, TV station

logos, fixed/inactive text or icons) for more than two hours.

(2) Change the aspect ratio from time to time. Fill the entire screen with the

image and eliminate the black bars whenever possible. Avoid displaying images in 4:3 aspect ratio over a long period of time, otherwise there may be visible burn marks on the screen as two vertical lines.

(3) Turn on the

"ECO Mode" on page 41).

(4) This TV is designed for home use only. Do not use it as a commercial

display in public areas.

Please note that the product warranty does not cover any screen damages that result from the failure to take the measures above.

Getting to know your TV

This LCD TV is a state-of-the-art flat widescreen digital display device. It has a built-in analog TV tuner which can be used to view standard definition analog television (TV or ATV), cable television (CATV), or radio frequency (RF) modulated video through its coaxial TV tuner input jack. However, the high display quality of a widescreen LCD TV isn’t realized through analog TV. The highest possible quality display is only possible from high definition digital video sources like High Definition TV (HDTV) and Blu-ray DVD. See "Connecting audio and video inputs" on page 18 for more information about the supported signal types and how to make connections.

The TV does not turn ON

There is no picture or sound

The picture is not sharp or the picture contains image movement when viewing the TV tuner input

The picture is doubled or tripled when viewing the TV tuner input

• Check that the power plug is securely inserted into both the

AC IN

jack on the TV and the wall outlet, and that the wall

outlet is switched on (if switched).

• Check that power is available from the power outlet by trying another known working appliance (e.g. desk lamp) from that same power outlet.

• Check that the TV is turned on (The power indicator should be green).

• Check that the correct Sound Type is selected.

• Try a different input source to confirm if the symptom is still present or whether the source is at fault.

• Check for mis-connection of cables for that input.

• Adjust the volume control to check that isn't turned down.

• If the TV is connected to a PC, make sure that the PC is not in standby or hibernation mode, and the PC’s video display is switch to external output.

• The reception may be weak. See next problem solution.

• Change programs to confirm if the symptom is still present or whether the program station is at fault.

• Make sure the antenna cable is properly connected.

• Try redirecting or relocating your antenna to improve the picture. If the antenna is exterior, have a suitable qualified and experienced antenna specialist adjust the antenna.

Your TV antenna signal may be effected by interference. Try redirecting or relocating your antenna to reduce the effects of the interference.
