manufacturer.

12. Use only with cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when

unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. Apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or

splashing, and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on the apparatus.

16. 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.

17. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as

this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Do not push objects through any openings in this unit,

as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.

19. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, 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 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.

20. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

21. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

22. When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the owner's manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connections.

23. Sudden high volume sound may cause hearing or speaker damage. When you use headphones, (if the unit is equipped with a headphone jack) keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use headphones continuously with high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.

CONDENSATION

Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, unit's performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the unit stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.

SYMPTOMS

No sound or picture.

I have connected an external source to my TV and I get no picture and/or sound.

Picture is normal, but no sound.

Sound but no picture or black and white picture.

Sound and picture distorted or appear wavy.

Sound and picture is blurry or cuts out momentarily.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

Check if the power cord is in the AC outlet and if it has electricity. Check if you have pressed [POWER] button on the TV or [POWER] button on th e

remote control. Check to see if LED light is either red or blue. If illuminated, power to TV i s OK .

Check for the correct output connection on the external source and for the correct input connection on the TV.

Make sure you have made the correct selection for the input mode for the incoming signal.

Yes, this is normal. That is the TV searching for previous setting information and initializing the TV.

Check the volume settings. Check if Mute mode is set “on”.

If black and white picture first unplug TV from AC outlet and replug after 60 seconds. Check Color Setting if picture is black and white.

An electrical appliance may be affecting TV set. Turn off any appliances, if interference goes away, move appliance farther away from TV.

Insert the power plug of the TV set into another power outlet.

If using an external antenna, check the direction, position and connection of the antenna.

Adjust the direction of your antenna or reset or fine tune the channel.

Horizontal/vertical stripe on picture or picture is shaking.

The plastic cabinet makes a “clicking” type of sound.

Black square appears in the center of my television screen?

Check if there is interfering source nearby, such as appliance or electric tool.

“Click” sound can be caused when the room temperature changes. This change causes the television cabinet to inflate or contract, which makes the sound. This is normal and

The Closed Caption function is set in the text mode. To remove it, access Closed Caption from the menu screen and change the Mode setting from “text” to either “Cc1” or “off”.

Other Information

SYMPTOMS

On some channels getting another language or sometimes no sound at all.

Not getting all of my cable channels on the television or I’m only getting 13 channels.

[CH / V] don’t work when I set the Channel to Cable? They work with the Air setting?

Remote control does not work.

POSSIBLE SO LUTIONS

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 “MTS/SAP” in your user manual.

SAP is Second Audio Program. It’s a second audio channel that is usually used for a second language or descriptive audio for the visually impaired.

MTS stands for Multichannel Television Sound, a standard that allows the encoding of 3 channels of audio within a standard NTSC (analog) video signal to a television. A television that is able to receive MTS Stereo allows you to watch television with stereo sound.

Check the cable connection for an incoming signal. Make sure the signal is coming OK. Best way to confirm signal is to use another TV and/or contact your cable company.

Reprogram your channels. Press [MENU] button on your TV remote control, change Input Source setting to “Cable”, then use “Auto Channels Search” to reprogram your channels.

After switching to Cable, please auto program the channels. The TV will “remember” all the channels then the TV will allow you to surf the channels with [CH / V] buttons.

Confirm that TV still has power and is operational. Change the batteries in the remote control. Check if the batteries are correctly installed. Clean the front of the remote control (LED window). If using a universal remote, be sure to select the TV mode on the remote. If the remote still does not work:

-remove and reinstall the batteries correctly to reset the remote or install new batteries.

-press TV and then Power to turn on the TV. With a universal remote if you have reset or changed the batteries you will need to reprogram the remote for the other units.

Check if there is obstruction between the remote control and the TV.

TIP: If you have a digital camera/camera phone, you can aim the front of the remote at camera lenses (at this time, the camera should set on camera mode, not play mode). Observe the camera screen while pressing a button on the remote control; you should see flashing light on the screen. If there is no light observed, the remote control is not working. You need to repair or replace the remote control.
