The issue
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular
purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics
industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,
chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.

CHILD SAFETY
your flat panel display
safety tips in mind
• One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand
rated for the weight of your TV.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
• Don’t let children to climb on or play with entertainment
system furniture and TVs.
• Don’t place TVs 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” TV. Make sure
that you place or install the TV where it cannot be pushed,
pulled over, or knocked down.
• Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they
cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
Wall mounting
If you decide to wall mount your TV, always:
• One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of your
TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this manual, or
otherwise listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, or ETL) as suitable for
your TV.
• Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a
professional installer.
• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If you are
unsure, ask a professional installer.
• TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

Important safety instructions
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
CAUTION
DO NOT OPEN
War ning : To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or
back. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.
War ning : To reduce t he risk of f ire or elect ric shock , do not ex pose your TV
to rain or moisture.
War ning : To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade on the power
cord plug to the wide slot on an electric outlet. If the plug does not fit,
consult a licensed electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
modify the power cord plug, or you will defeat this safety feature.
This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is
present within your TV. This label is located
on the back of your TV.
This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature accompanying
your TV.
War ning : Your TV contains a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount
of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated for
environmental reasons. For disposal or recycling information, contact
your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at
www.eia.org.
Important safety instructions
Read instructions
Read all of the safety and operating instructions before you use your TV.
Retain instructions
Retain safety and operating instructions for future reference.
Follow warnings and instructions
Follow all warnings on your TV and in the operating instruc tions. Follow
all operating and use instructions.
Water and moisture
Do not use your TV near water. For example, do not use it near a bath
tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near
a swimming pool.
Cleaning
Unplug your TV before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Use only a damp cloth to clean the exterior of your TV.
Note: If your TV requires uninterrupted service for some specific reason,
such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV
converter, ignore the instruction to unplug your TV before cleaning.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided
for ventilation, reliable operation, and protection from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not block the
openings by placing your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar sur face.
Do not place your TV near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not
place your TV in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, unless
you provide correct ventilation or follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Heat
Make sure that your TV is located away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
Grounding 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 grounding prong. The wide
blade or grounding prong are provided for your safety. If the plug does
not fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Power cord protection
Route power cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from your
TV.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by Dynex because they may
cause hazards.
Stand
Do not place your TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. Your TV may fall, causing serious
personal injury and serious damage to your TV. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with your
TV. If you mount your TV to the wall, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer. Your TV and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause your
TV and cart combination to overturn.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service your TV yourself because opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Overloading
Do not overload power outlets and extension cords because this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Object and liquid entry
Never push objects of any kind into your TV through openings because
objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
your TV.
Damage requiring service
Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV.
• If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.
• If your TV does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions because incorrect adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore your TV to its normal
operation.
• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service
technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that
have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, or other
hazards.
Important safety instructions

Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this TV, ask the service
technician to perform routine safet y checks to determine that your TV is
in correct operating condition.
Power source
Operate your TV only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
home, consult your TV dealer or local power company.
Lightning
For added protection for your TV’s receiver during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug
it from the power outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This helps prevent damage to your TV from lightning and power line
surges.
Screen protection
Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or hit the glass
screen. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken glass.
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which
provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few nonactive
pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red point.
These non-active pixels do not adversely affect the performance of your
TV, and are not considered defects.
Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light of 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.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV, make sure
that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides
information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for correct grounding
and in particular, specifies that the cable ground must be connected to
the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entr y
as practical.

Notes:
To displa y closed capt ioning on yo ur TV, the broadca st signal must contain
the closed captioning data.
Not all TV programs and commercials have closed captioning or all types
of the closed captioning.
Captions and texts may not exactly match the TV voice.
Changing channels may delay closed captioning for a few s econds.
Adjusting the volume or muting the sound may delay closed captioning
for a few seconds.
Abbreviations, symbols, and other grammatical shortcuts may be used in
order to keep pace with the on-screen action. This is not a problem
with your TV.
The caption or text characters will not be displayed while the on-screen
menu is open.
If a black box appears on the TV screen, closed captioning is set to the Text
mode. To clear the box, select CC1, CC2 , CC3, CC4, or Off.
If your TV receives poor quality television signals, captioning may contain
errors, or there might be no captioning at all. Some possible causes of
poor quality signals are automobile ignition noise, electric motor
noise, weak signal reception, or multiplex signal reception (ghosts or
screen flutter).
Your TV retains the closed captioning setting if the power fails.
Closed captioning is not displayed when you are using an HDMI
connection.
When your TV receives a special effects playback signal (such as Search,
Slow, or Freeze) from a VCR’s video output channel (3 or 4), your TV
may not display the correct captioning or text.
