It makes a difference how and where you use
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
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:
•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.
•Always 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.

Safety information
Warning
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or back.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your TV to rain
or moisture.
Caution
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.
Warnings
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
The TV should be connected to an AC power outlet with a protective
grounding connection.
To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the
floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.
Always place the TV on the floor or a sturdy, level, stable surface that
will support the weight of the unit.
Installing the TV requires special skill that should only be performed by
qualified service personnel.
Customers should not attempt to do the work themselves. Insignia
bears no responsibility for improper mounting or mounting that
results in accident or injury.
Caution
The AC power plug is used as the disconnect device, so the AC power
plug shall always remain readily operable.
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 instructions. 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, 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.
Ventilati on
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 surface.
Do not place your TV near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not
pla ce your T V in a b uilt- in insta llation , such as a bo okcas e or ra ck, unle ss
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
Use only attachments recommended by Insignia.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
F
eatures
5
• 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.
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this TV, 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 your TV dealer or local power company.
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.
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.
End of life directives
Your new TV contains materials which can be recycled and reused. At
the end of your TV’s life, specialized companies can dismantle the
discarded TV to concentrate the reusable materials and to minimize the
amount of materials to be disposed of. Dispose of your old TV according
to local regulations.

Setting up your TV
Connecting an antenna or cable TV
The antenna requirements for good color TV reception are more
important than those for black and white reception. For this reason, a
good quality outdoor antenna or cable TV is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connection that is
provided with the various antenna systems.
Connecting an outside antenna
Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and 300 ohm.
75 ohm cable
300 ohm cable
• If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm connector, connect the cable
to the coaxial AIR/CABLE IN jack on the back of your TV.
• If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm connector, connect the cable
to a 300-75 ohm adapter (not included), connect the adapter to a
75 ohm cable, then connect the other end of the 75 ohm
connector to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.

Connecting cable TV
Your TV has a 75 ohm AIR/CABLE IN jack for connecting cable TV.
Some cable TV providers scramble the signals for “premium” (pay)
channels. To view these channels, you need a converter/descrambler
box.
If you do not have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your
cable TV directly to your TV. If you have a converter/descrambler box,
you can connect your cable TV using an RF switch (not supplied). For
more information about connecting a converter/descrambler box,
contact your cable TV provider.
To connect cable TV without a converter/descrambler box:
1 Connect one end of a 75 ohm cable to the AIR/CABLE IN jack on
the back of your TV.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the cable TV wall outlet.
To connect cable TV with a converter/descrambler box:
• Use the following illustration to connect a converter/descrambler
box. (The RF switch and the signal splitter are not provided.)
