Important instructions
15. POWER SOURCE: This TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplyto your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company. For TVs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
16. POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
17° OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING : If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA NO.70,provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
//
z/
discharge unit , size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig.A)
18. LIGHTNING-" For added protection for this TV receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due to lightning and power line surges.
19. 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.
20_ OVERLOADTNG: DO not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
21° OBJECTAND LIQUID ENTRY: Never push objects of any kind into this TVthrough openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind into the TV,
22.° SERVICING= Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
23. REPLA(::EMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, be sure that the service technician uses replacement parts with the same characteristics as the original parts specified by the manufacturer.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.
24. SAFETY CHECK-" Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the TV is in proper operating condition.
25. The apparatus should not be exposed to any dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids (such as a vase) should be placed on the apparatus.

Preparation for using your new TV
Connecting your TV
Caution: Do not plug in the TV until you have finished connecting aUlof your equipments.
Connecting to an antenna
To enjoy the televison program transmitted by your local TV station, you need an indoor or outdoor antenna (not supplied). An outdoor antenna is necessary for a perfect picture quality. If you are a subscriber of your local CATV net, the outdoor or indoor antenna is not needed. Connect the equipments
as shown below.

COAXIAL CABLE (750)
Connecting to A/Vequipments
To enjoy the multimedia features, you can connect your TV to A/V equipments such as VCD, DVD, STB,
Satellite receiver, Camcorder, Audio amplifier etc., and select signal source using your remote control. Connect RCA audio cables to"R-AUD]O oL"on the rear of your set and the other ends to corresponding
audio out connectors on the AiV device.
NOTE: 1. Headphones are not included.
2. No sound will be heard from the main unit speakers whena headphone mini=plug is connected into the headphone jack.
Service jack Connector for service only (do not connect any equipment here).
Connecting component devices (DVD/PVR) Connect Component video and audio cablesto Component inputs ("PR/CR', "PBiCB', "Y') on the rear of your set and the other ends to corresponding component video out connectors on the PVRor DVD.

Preparation for using your new TV
The Y,PB!CBand PR/CR"connectors on your component devices (PVR or DVD) are sometimes labeled Y, BraYand RmY or _'1CBand CR (Colors for inputs and cables must correspond to both devices). NOTE: Some devices such as a PVRor DVD players require 'Component/YPBPR' signaUto be set via output in the
devices settings. PUeaseconsult "/our device user manuaUfor instructions.
Connecting HDMI Supports digitaUconnections between HDNI _enabled AVdevices such as (PVRs,DVD, BUuRay,HDDVD,AV receivers
and digital devices). No sound connection is needed for an HDHI to HDNI connection.
NOTE:Some devices such as a PVRor DVDplayers require a HDNI signal to be set via the output in the devices'
settings. Pleaseconsult "/our device user manual for instructions.
What is HDMI?
HDNI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a nexbgeneration interface that enables the transmission of digital
audio and video signals using a single cane without compression.
"Nultimedia interface" is a more accurate name for it especially becauseit allows multiple channels of digital audio
(5.1 channels).The difference beb_veenHDNI and DVI is that the HDNI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP(High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi ochannel digital audio.
Use the HDMI terminal for HDNr connection to a compatible device. If your external device has DV[ only, you should use a DVl-to-HDMI cable( or adapter) for the connection, and the "R
-AUDIOmL" terminal on DVl for sound output.
Connecting computer
Connect the D- Sub cable to "VGA (VGA IN)" on the rear of your set and the other end to the Video Card of your computer.
Connect the stereo audio cable to "VGA AUDIO IN" on the rear of your set and the other end to "Audio Out" of the sound card on your computer.
This device may not be compatible with all PC video/graphic cards.
Connecting audio
Connect RCAaudio cables to "R °AUDIO oL" on the rear of your set and the other ends to corresponding audio in connectors on the Amplifier or DVDHome Theater.

Preparation for using your new TV
Connecting to a cabme converter box
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a cable converter
box. Some cable companies offer premium pay channels in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these
signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable
company.
For subscribers to basic cabUe TV service For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable
directly into the Antenna lack on the back of the television.
For subscribers t.o scrambled cable TV service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambier box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna ]ack on the back of
the television. Follow the connections as shown below. Setthe television to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.
Fer subscribers to unscrarnbUed basic cabme with scrambled premiurn channeUs
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/Descrambled box, you may wish to use a two=set signal splitter (sometimes referred to as a two=set coupler) and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the
connections shown below. With the switch in the B position, you can directly tune any unscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the A position, you can tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
