Important safety instructions
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert you to the presence of
uninsulated dangerous voltage within
your TV’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk
of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert
you to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature
accompanying your TV.
Warni ng: To reduce t he risk of f ire or elect ric shock , do not ex pose your TV
to rain or moisture.
Warni ng: Your TV utilizes tin-lead solder and fluorescent lamps
containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials
may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or
recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic
Industries Alliance at www.eia.org.
Warni ng: For continued safety, your TV should be connected to a power
outlet that is correctly grounded.
1 Read these instructions—All operating instructions must be
read and understood before you use your TV.
2 Keep these instructions—These safety and operating
instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.
3 Heed all warnings—All warnings on the product and in the
instructions must be observed closely.
4 Follow all instructions—All operating instructions must be
followed.
5 Do not use your TV near water—For example, do not use
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool.
Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature to
a high temperature environment, because this causes
condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
Important safety instructions
3
6Cleaning—Unplug your TV from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
7 Ventilation—Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the these instructions. The vents and other
openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover
or block these vents and openings because insufficient
ventilation can cause overheating and shorten the life of your TV.
Do not place your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface
because they can block ventilation openings. Your TV is not
designed for built-in installation. Do not place your TV in an
enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack unless correct
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are
followed.
8Heat sources—Do not install near any heat source such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
9 Ground or polarization—Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has
two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third
prong are provided for your safety. If the plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
10 Power cord protection—Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from your TV.
Note: The power plug is the disconnect device for your TV. Make sure that
the plug is easy to access.
11 Attachments—Only use attachments or accessories specified
by the manufacturer. Do not use attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer. Use of incorrect attachments can result in
accidents.
12 Stand—Use only the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer or sold with your TV. Do not place
your TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. Placing your
TV on an unstable base can cause your TV to fall, resulting in
serious personal injuries, as well as damage to your TV. When
mounting your TV on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by
the manufacturer.
13 Move carefully—When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart and TV
combination to avoid injury from a tip-over.
Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven floor
sur face s can c ause your TV to fal l from the stand .
Never attempt to move your TV unless the
power cord has been disconnected.
14 Lightning—Unplug your TV and disconnect the antenna
during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
This will prevent damage to your TV from lightning and
power-line surges.
15 Servicing—Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when your TV has been damaged in any
way, such as when the power cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV, your TV has been
exposed to rain or moisture, your TV does not operate normally,
or your TV has been dropped.
16 Replacement parts—In case your TV needs replacement
parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or parts with the same
characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of
unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock, or other
danger.
17 Overloading—Do not overload power outlets, extension cords,
or convenience receptacles on other equipment because
overloading can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18 Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into
the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows into
the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock or
short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or
liquid on your TV.
19 Damage requiring service—If any of the following
conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the power outlet
and have a qualified service person perform repairs. Examples of
damages requiring repairs are:
• When the power cord or plug is damaged.
• When a liquid is spilled on your TV or when objects have
fallen into your TV.
• When your TV has been exposed to rain or water.
• When your TV does not operate correctly as described in the
operating instructions. Do not adjust controls other than
those described in the operating instructions. Incorrect
adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can
cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment
work by a qualified technician.
• If your TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged in any way.
• When your TV displays an abnormal condition or exhibits a
distinct change in performance. Any noticeable abnormality
in your TV indicates that it needs servicing.
20 Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, ask
the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the
product is in correct operating condition.
21 Wall or ceiling mounting —When mounting your TV on a wall
or ceiling, be sure to install your TV according to the method
recommended by the manufacturer. This is a safety issue.
22 Power source—Your TV is intended to be supplied by a listed
power supply indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your TV dealer
or local power company. For added protection for your TV during
a lightning storm or when your TV is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to your TV
from lightning and power line surges. When your TV has to be
used with another power supply voltage, the power cable must
be changed. Consult your TV dealer. The power outlet should be
installed near your TV and easily accessible. Use only the power
cord designated by your dealer to ensure safety and EMC. When
connecting other products, such as VCRs and computers, you
should turn off the TV to protect against electric shock.
23 Panel protection—The display panel used in your TV is made
of glass. Therefore, it can break when your TV is dropped or hit by
other objects. Be careful to avoid being injured by broken glass
pieces in case the display panel breaks.
24 Pixel defect—The display panel is a high-technology product
that gives you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few
non-active pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points of
blue, green, or red. This is not a defect and does not affect the
performance of your TV.
25 Temperature—Do not use in hot and cold rooms or locations.
4
TV components
• Do not leave your TV in a hot or cold location. Also, do not
leave your TV in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near
a heater. This may cause the cabinet to warp and the screen
to malfunction.
• Storage temperature: 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C)
• Working temperature: 41° to 104°F (5° to 40°C)
26 After image—Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an
extended period, because this can cause a permanent
after-image to remain on the screen. Examples of still pictures
include logos, video games, computer images, teletext, and
images displayed in 4:3 mode. This background image is
viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed
image. This type of irreversible screen deterioration can be
limited by observing the following:
• Reduce the brightness and contrast settings to a minimum
viewing level.
• Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
• Turn off the power when not in actual use.
Caution s: The permanent after-image on the screen resulting from fixed
image use is not an operating defect and is not covered by the
warranty. your TV is not designed to display fixed images for extended
periods of time.

Changing channels
Digital sub-channels
A digital TV signal transmits more data than an analog signal. This
increase in data provides a better picture and sound with less static and
interference.
The increased data capacity of a digital signal also lets broadcasters fit
several channels into the same bandwidth as an analog signal.
Broadcasters may use these sub-channels to transmit a variety of
information, such as weather forecasts, foreign languages,
commercials.
A digital sub-channel is indicated by the main channel number
followed by a dot and the sub-channel number. For example, 5.1
indicates sub channel 1 of the main channel 5.
To change channels:
•Press CH+ or CH– to go to the next or previous channel in the
memorized channel list.

channel you want, then wait for the channel to change or press
ENTER to immediately change the channel.
