BE CAREFUL ABOUT PACKAGING MATERIALS AND PLASTIC SHEETS.
Set up
Do not place the TV set on sloped or unstable surfaces.
Do not place any objects on top of the TV set. If water spills onto the TV set or foreign objects get inside it,
short-circuiting may occur which could result in fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the TV set,
please consult an Authorized Service Center.
Do not cover the ventilation holes. Doing so may cause the TV set overheated and can cause fire or damage to the
TV set.
Avoid installing this product near electronic equipment that is readily affected by electromagnetic waves.
It may cause interference in image, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this
product.
AC Power Supply Cord
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go. If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which
could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the
cable.
Do not make any modifications to, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull
the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage
to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.

If Problems Occur During Use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the TV set,
unplug the power cord immediately. Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause fire or permanent
damage to the unit. Have the TV evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Service to the TV by any unauthorized
personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature. If water or foreign objects get inside the
TV set, if the TV set is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.
Safety Precautions - Installation

When using the TV set
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the TV set. Top of the TV set is usually
very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through the Ventilation holes. Burns or personal
injuries can happen if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the TV could also
result in heat damage to the object as well as to the TV if its ventilation holes are blocked.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the TV set. Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage
the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
electric shocks can result if this is not done.
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty. Built-up dust on the power cord plug can
increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and
clean it with a dry cloth.
This TV set radiates infrared rays; therefore, it may affect other infrared communication equipment. Install your
infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your TV set.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Identifying Problems
If there are any problems using the product, please first consult the list below. If the list below does not solve the problem, call our
Customer Service Center immediately.
Q: My television won't power on. What could be wrong?
A: Make sure your power cord is firmly plugged into both the back of the TV and the power outlet. Some models have a power
switch on the back of the TV - make sure it is in the ON position. If you are trying to turn on your TV using the remote control,
make sure you are using new batteries and that they are inserted properly. On Universal Remote controls, first press the “TV”
button on remote control, and then press the POWER button.
Q: How to I get to the TV Channels I want?
A: Your new TV has to search for channels during the initial Start-Up phase. Please follow the Channel Programming/Auto
Scan portion of the Users Manual.
Q: I have everything connected, but there is no picture or sound?
A: Make sure all cables are firmly connected into your television and your external AV sources. After you have made all
connections, press the INPUT or SOURCE button on either the TV or the remote and choose the correct source. Make sure
your cable, satellite, or set-top box is turned on. If these step fail, try a different set of cables.
Q: I have sound with no picture.
A: Make sure all cables are firmly connected into your television and your external AV source. After you have made all
connections, make sure the sound input matches the video input. If you are trying to view a TV station, switch to another
station because some channels may be having broadcast difficulties. Check to make sure the brightness/contrast settings are
correct by entering the main menu and adjusting.
Q: I have picture with no sound.
A: Make sure the television is not muted. Check all cables to ensure they are firmly connected into the TV and your eternal
AV source. After you have done so, check to see that the video input matches the sound input. Increase the volume on either
the remote control or TV. If you are trying to view a TV station, switch to another station because some channels may be
having broadcast difficulties.
Q: I am experiencing poor picture quality or static. What could this be?
A: Interference may be causing poor picture quality or static. To remedy this you may try moving any infrared equipment
away from the television. Make sure all cable connections are secure and that the cables are working correctly. If you are
experiencing noise or ghosting during cable or satellite broadcasts, switch to another TV station because some channels may
be having broadcast difficulties.
Q: My remote control is not working or only works when I am close to the television.
A: Make sure you are using new batteries and that they are inserted correctly. Your remote will operate 16 ft. away from the
television, and 30 degrees from center in either direction. Make sure you are trying to operate the remote in this range.
Q: I lost my Manual, Quick Start Guide, Warranty Card, Remote Control Guide, or other material. Where can I find
another one?
A: Product support materials for your TV can be downloaded on the Element Electronics web site
(www.elementelectronics.com) under the Support option.

Q: I opened the box and an accessory was missing. What do I do?
A: Please call our Customer Service team so we can get you a replacement. Go to the “Contact Us” portion of the web site
and enter your model number to obtain the correct customer support phone number.
Q: Why am I getting a black square in the center of my television screen?
A: The Closed Caption function is set in the “text” mode. To remove it, access Closed Caption in the Main Menu and change
the Mode setting from “text” to “off”.
Q: On some channels I am getting another language or sometimes no sound at all.
A: That would indicate that the MTS mode on your unit is set to “SAP” mode. We suggest setting the MTS mode to either
“Stereo” or “Mono”. For further instruction, please see “Audio Adjust” or “Multi-channel TV Sound (MTS)” in your User's
Manual.
Q: When I turn off my television, there is a white flash on the screen. Is this normal?
A: Yes, this is normal. That is the LCD backlight powering down.
Q: I have connected an external AV source to my television and I get no picture and/or sound.
A: Make sure to connect the cables to the correct outputs on your external AV source and the inputs on your television. Press
the INPUT or SOURCE button to select the input mode that corresponds to your connection to the external AV source. Turn
on your external AV source. Check for the correct settings in the Audio Select menu on your TV.
Q: I can't control my television with my current remote control.
A: Check to see that the television is still plugged in to the outlet. If you have a television with a universal remote, be sure to
select the TV mode on the remote. If the remote still does not work, reset the remote by removing and reinserting the
batteries (assuring the batteries are installed in the correct position). Then press the power button down for 30 seconds. If the
problem still exists, replace the batteries if needed.
If you have reset or changed the batteries in a universal remote control, you will need to reprogram the remote for the TV and
other units.
Q: I currently receive digital cable from my cable company. Isn't that HDTV?
A: Many Cable TV companies use the term “digital cable” to refer to the digital compression which allows them to provide
more analog channels. It does not necessarily mean they are providing an HDTV signal. Contact your service provider to
learn more about HDTV programming packages.
Q: I get a grainy picture when cable is hooked-up directly to my TV using an RF cable.
A: To improve your picture, try the following:
Replace the cable that connects the TV to the cable outlet.
Check for breaks or damage to the cable, both indoors and out. If the cable is damaged, replace it.
Check the center pin at the end of the cable you attach to your TV. Make sure it is straight and long enough to make a good
connection.
Make sure you are using the correct cable setting for your area.
If you use a cable box, make sure your TV is tuned to the proper station. Most often this is channel 3. Sometimes, it is
channel 4.
If these options don't improve your picture, you may need to run a new cable. Contact your service provider to learn more.
Q: Why am I only receiving my local stations when I have cable?
A: You may need to run the Auto Tuner Scan again and make sure that Cable is highlighted instead of Air. For instructions on
doing so, consult your User's Manual or call Element Electronics helpful technical support line.
Q: Why do I still see black bars on my widescreen TV when viewing certain widescreen DVDs and HDTV
broadcasts?
A: Your widescreen TV has an aspect ratio of 16:9 (1.78:1), which is the aspect ratio of HDTV. However, movies are filmed at
several different aspect ratios, including 2.35:1. Also referred to as "scope", 2.35:1 is a panoramic aspect ratio that provides a
Appendix-Troubleshooting
32
wide field of view in the theater. Scope is much wider than your widescreen TV, so it still requires the use of letterboxing
("black bars") to fit the entire image on screen. Some TVs and DVD players have a zoom function that allows you to blow up
the image so it fills the screen, but the sides of the image must be cropped in order to do so.
Q: My TV is making a buzzing/humming noise. How do I make it stop?
A: This noise is normal and within the FCC standard for acoustic noise standard. The noise should be within the allotted
30dB/A level for audio. If you think the noise is excessive, call the Element Electronics technical support line.
Q: No audio on local channels?
A: Your TV is designed to receive Stereo broadcasts. It is also capable of receiving SAP (Second Audio Programs) available
from TV stations. Some stations broadcast radio stations, weather, foreign language or nothing at all on this frequency. If
your TV was mistakenly set to receive SAP, then you may be getting the wrong audio or no audio on some stations. To
alleviate this problem access the MTS STATUS screen of your TV MENU and make sure you highlight STEREO instead of
SAP. This should solve the problem.
