EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for
uninterrupted service and that for some specific reason,
such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization
code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be
unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other
purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the
appliance in the cleaning description otherwise
required in item 5.

6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommended
by the TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture-Do not use this TVnear water, for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, and the like.

8. Accessories-Do not place this TV on
an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The TV may fall,
causing serious injury to someone,
and serious damage to the appliance.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the TV.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An
appliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.

9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet and the
back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This TV should never be placed near or over a

instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization-This TV is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug(a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into
the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12.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.

13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as 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 proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. (Fig. A)

14.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.

15.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.

16.Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

17.Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any
kind into this TV through openings as they 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 the TV.

18.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.

19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or

frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into

the TV.

c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions, as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the TV to its normal operation.

e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in

performance-this indicates a need for service.

20.Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are
required, be sure 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, injury to persons or other hazards.

21.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.

22.Heat-This TV product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs, unedited movies on
premium cable channels and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to programming if the
program’s rating meets or exceeds the limitations you select. In this case, “PROTECTED PROGRAM by ...”
message appears on the TV screen.

To block certain ratings, follow the steps below.

● Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or according to the

Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set your limits in both
places (MPAA RATING and TV RATING).

● You cannot access the menu when the “PROTECTED PROGRAM by ...” message appears. In this case,

change to an unblocked channel, then press

MENU.

Closed Caption Problem Possible Remedy

My TV is showing captions that are
misspelled.

My TV will not show the text in its entirety
or there is a delay of what is being said.

My captions are scrambled with white boxes
on the TV screen.

My program guide listed a TV show as being
closed captioned but none of the captions
were displayed.

My prerecorded videotape does not show any
captions. The tape box mentions it being
closed captioned.

My TV screen shows a black box on certain
channels.

You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the
closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrected. A
prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words because of the
normal time available for editing the captions.

Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are
common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can
display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue
exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions
remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.

Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may
cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.

Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to the actual
program so that additional advertising time can be given. Since the
decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost.

The videotape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating
company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the copying
process.

You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION
[OFF].

The LCD panel is manufactured to provide many years of useful life. Occasionally a few non active pixels
may appear as a tiny spec of color. This in not to be considered a defect in the LCD screen.
