• To clean the surface of the panel, lightly dampen a soft, clean, lint-free cloth with water.

• To clean the TV cabinet, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent.

• Do not use chemicals such as benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any type of abrasive cleaner.

• Do not use compressed air to clean the TV.

10 About Your TV

DELL CONFIDENTIAL – PRELIMINARY 10/8/04 – FOR PROOF ONLY

Setting Up Your TV

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the setup procedures described in this section, follow the basic

safety instructions located in the Product Information Guide.

Proper Location for Your TV

Consider the following environmental factors when you are deciding where to put your TV:

• Ensure you allow adequate ventilation.

• Do not store or use the TV in locations that are exposed to high heat, direct sunlight, or extreme cold.

• Avoid moving the TV between locations with extreme temperature differences. For more information, see "Specifications for Your TV" on page 41.

• Do not subject the TV to severe vibration or high impact conditions. Do not place the TV inside a car trunk.

• Do not store or use the TV in locations where the TV would be exposed to high humidity or dusty environment.

• Do not place the TV in a location where water or other liquids could spill on or into the TV.

Connecting Your TV

The tables below provide a description of the connectors on your TV to help you decide which connectors to use for your various video devices.

Connecting Your Cable TV Box or Antenna

Quality Cable and connector When to Use

Good Coaxial cable

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

Coaxial (RF) cable carries the video and audio signal from the antenna or cable connector to your TV. The coaxial connector is labelled NTSC. To locate the NTSC connector see "Bottom View" on page 7.

Best Coaxial cable (for W4200HD only)

Connecting Your Video Devices

Quality Cable and connector When to Use

Good Composite

The ATSC cable carries the digital video and audio signal from the antenna connector to your TV. To locate the ATSC connector see "Bottom View" on page 7.

The composite connector carries the video signal through a single pin. If you are using a composite video connector, you also need to connect composite audio cables. To locate the composite connectors, see "Right View" on page 6 and "Bottom View" on page 7.

DELL CONFIDENTIAL – PRELIMINARY 10/8/04 – FOR PROOF ONLY

12 Setting Up Your TV

FILE LOCATION: C:\Documents and Settings\solinak\Æ‡¦±\OM update\ch2e.fm

Quality Cable and connector When to Use

Better S-Video

The S-Video connector splits the video signal into two signals, black-and-white and color. If you are using the S-Video connector, you also need to connect the audio cables. To locate the S-Video connectors, see "Right View" on page 6 and "Bottom View" on page 7.

Best Component (YPbPr)

Excellent DVI

Excellent HDMI

The component connectors splits the video signal into three signals, two color and one black-and-white. If you are using the component connectors, you also need to connect the audio cables. To locate the component connectors, see "Bottom View" on page 7.

DVI receives the image data in digital format so that the TV does not need to perform an analog-to-digital conversion, as with the input types described above. Because the TV uses digital data to display the image, DVI provides the highest quality input, although actual results depend on the video source (DVD player, DVR, etc.). To locate the connector see "Bottom View" on page 7.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) assures that the best video signal is always sent from source (HDTV signal, DVD player) to the TV. This is achieved by allowing uncompressed video and multi-channel audio data to be sent to the display device through a single cable. To locate the connector see "Bottom View" on page 7.

Image Retention and Burn-In

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

NOTE: Image retention and burn-in are not covered by your Dell warranty.

Displaying an image for an extended period of time can cause an image to remain or burn-in on the screen. Burn-in is a characteristic of all plasma displays.

To help avoid image burn-in, it is best to avoid leaving stationary images on your TV for extended periods of time. Examples of stationary images that may lead to burn-in include:

• TV menus

• Black bars such as those used in 4:3 or wide screen mode

• TV channel logos

• Stock market or news tickers

• Time display

• Shopping channel pricing display

• Static computer images

• Static video game images

• Closed captioning backgrounds
