Important safeguards
Warning Risk of electric shock - Do not open
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the back
cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Removing the back cover voids the warranty.
Have your LCD TV repaired by qualified service personnel
only.
Warnings and precautions
■ Do not place your hands, face, or objects close to the ventilation openings
of your LCD TV. The top of your LCD TV gets very hot from exhaust air
that is released through the ventilation openings. Burns or personal
injuries may occur if you are too close to the LCD TV. Damage may occur
if you place any object near the top of your LCD TV.
■ Disconnect all cables before moving your LCD TV. Moving your LCD TV
with its cables attached may damage the cables and cause fire or electric
shock danger.
■ Do not expose your LCD TV to rain or moisture.
Important safeguards
■ Keep your LCD TV away from excessive dust, high temperatures, moisture,
or direct sunlight.
■ Use your LCD TV in a well-ventilated area and do not cover the ventilation
openings.
■ Do not modify your LCD TV or use an unshielded power cord or video
input source cable, or you may experience excessive interference.
■ Disconnect your LCD TV and unplug the power cord when the TV is not
used for a long period of time.
■ If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off your LCD TV, then
disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Make sure that your video input
source cable is connected correctly, then reconnect your LCD TV to the
electrical outlet.
■ Disconnect your LCD TV from the electrical outlet before cleaning or
performing maintenance. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only
a slightly damp cloth for cleaning.
■ Do not place your LCD TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Your
LCD TV may fall, causing serious damage.

Chapter 1: Introducing Your Gateway LCD TV
■ Do not place your LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces.
■ Never place your LCD TV near or over a radiator or heat source.
■ Do not install your LCD TV in an enclosed area unless correct ventilation
is provided.
■ Your LCD TV should be operated from the type of power source indicated
on the label. If the type of available power is unknown, consult your
electrician or local power company.
■ Your LCD TV is equipped with a 3-pin grounded plug. The plug will only
fit into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you cannot
plug the power cord into the outlet, contact your electrician. Do not alter
the plug because this will defeat the safety feature.
■ Do not rest objects on the power cord and avoid placing the power cord
near high traffic areas.
■ Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
■ Unplug your LCD TV and contact qualified service personnel if:
■ The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
■ Liquid has been spilled into your LCD TV.
■ Your LCD TV has been exposed to water or moisture.
■ Your LCD TV does not operate normally when the operating
instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions. Incorrect adjustment of other controls
may result in damage which often requires extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore your LCD TV to normal operation.
■ Your LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

Chapter 2: Connecting Components
Understanding video connections
Your LCD TV has four types of standard video connections. You should use the
best connection available to get the best display. For example, if your DVD
player supports a component video connection, connect the DVD player to
your LCD TV using component video instead of composite video or S-Video.
Connection
Cable and Connector Description
Quality
Basic Coaxial (RF). The video and audio signals
are both carried in one cable (the other three
connection types only handle video, and
require separate connections for sound).
Coaxial is the only way to connect an
antenna to your LCD TV.
Good Composite. The video signal is carried
through a single “pin.” This connection
method is the one that is most commonly
found on devices.
Better S-Video. The video signal is split into two
signals, black-and-white and color. Text
displayed on-screen through this connection
will be noticeably sharper then composite or
coaxial (RF).
Best Component. The video signal is split into
three signals, two color, and one
black-and-white. Use component video to
take advantage of the superior picture
provided by signal sources such as HDTV
16
and

Chapter 4: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the screen
■ Do not use substances such as glass cleaners, solvents, and thinners.
■ The screen of your LCD TV has been specially treated. Wipe the surface
gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
■ If the surface is particular dirty, use a soft cloth and water to clean the
screen. Squirt a little water on the cloth (never directly on the screen), then
wipe the screen with the cloth.
Warning The screen of your LCD TV is made of specially coated
glass and can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or
ammonia-based window cleaners.
Scratches on the bezel or glass are not covered by your
warranty.
■ Do not scratch or hit the surface of the screen with your fingers or any
hard objects.
Cleaning the exterior
■ Your LCD TV is cooled by air circulated through the vents on the case, so
keep the vents free of dust. With your LCD TV turned off and unplugged,
brush the dust away from the vents with a damp cloth. Be careful not to
drip any water into the vents. Do not attempt to clean dust from the inside
of your LCD TV.
■ Do not use abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish
on components.
■ Do not allow any excessive water or moisture to come into contact with
the surface of your LCD TV. If water or moisture gets inside your LCD TV,
operating problems and electrical and shock hazards may result.
■ Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with your fingers or any hard objects.
■ Do not place articles made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any
extended periods of time.

Troubleshooting
Use the following information to solve common problems.
You cannot see a picture
■ Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
■ Make sure that the main power switch and power button are turned on.
■ Make sure that the selected video input source is connected to a working
component.
■ If your LCD TV is connected to your computer in VGA mode, press any
key on your keyboard to “wake” your computer.
You see a distorted picture or hear unusual sound
■ You may be getting interference from electrical appliances, cars,
motorcycles, or fluorescent lights. Try moving your LCD TV to another
location.
The color is abnormal
■ Make sure that the input source cable is connected securely and correctly
to your LCD TV.
Troubleshooting
The picture has abnormal patterns
■ Make sure that the input source cable is attached securely and correctly.
■ Make sure that the video input source is within the range of your LCD TV.
Compare the video input source’s specifications with your LCD TV
specifications.
The display image does not cover the entire screen
■ If you are using DVI-D or VGA mode, make sure that the H-Position and
V-Position in the OSD is set correctly. See “Using the OSD” on page 28.

Chapter 4: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
You can see a picture but you cannot hear sound
■ Make sure that the volume is not turned down.
■ Make sure that the sound is not muted.
■ Make sure that your audio input source cables are connected securely and
correctly.
The LCD TV has pixels that are always bright, dark, or colored
■ Your LCD TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision
technology. However, sometimes some pixels of your LCD TV may not
display correctly. Pixel defects within industry specifications are inherent
to this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.
You see “noise” or “trash” on the screen
■ When your LCD TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal,
the signal is up-converted (increased) to match your LCD TV’s display
capabilities. Up-converting can cause noise or trash.
■ The signal on DVI-D is HDCP encoded. Stop and restart the source.
Screen brightness is diminished
■ Video display devices experience degradation of brightness over the life of
the device. Normal brightness degradation is not covered by your warranty.
