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
It makes a difference how and where you use
your flat panel display
As you enjoy your new product, keep these
safety tips in mind
Tune into safety
•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 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:
•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 as suitable for your TV. One size of wall mount does not fit all.
•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.

Warnings
Electric shock hazard
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove any cover or expose
the device to rain or moisture. No user-serviceable parts are inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service technicians.
Lightning
For added protection for your device 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 any antenna or cable
system. This helps prevent property damage and personal injury from
lightning and power line surges.
Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or 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.
Handling the LCD panel
• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or hit, jolt,
or press hard against the LCD panel. If the screen breaks, be
careful of broken glass.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not
touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin inflammation.
• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle, rinse, and
consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes or
touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at
least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.
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.
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this device, ask the service
technician to perform routine safety 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 an electrician or your local power company.

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
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides
guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable
ground must be connected to the grounding system of the building as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Condensation
Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought from cool surroundings
into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly.
When this happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To prevent
this, let the TV stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before
switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the TV is exposed to
the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of
the TV.

Adjusting the picture
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 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, and
commercials. A digital sub-channel is indicated by the main channel
number, followed by a dot, then the sub-channel number. For example,
5.1 indicates sub-channel 1 of main channel 5.

JPEG disc playback
A JPEG disc contains JPEG (.jpg) format picture information that can be
decoded by software and displayed through the video output interface
or on the television screen.
This function has many applications. For example, you can save files
from a scanner or digital camera in the JPEG format, record these on a
CD-R disc and present them to an audience through this player.
The JPEG format is a convenient method to store images in a small
amount of memory space, and is ideal for archiving information.
When a disc containing standard JPEG picture files is inserted into the
player, a navigation menu is displayed automatically. Use the (up)
and (down) cursor buttons to select a file then press PLAY/ENTER to
