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 apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15.Televisions are designed to comply with the

recommended safety standards for tilt and stability. Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could cause the product to overturn resulting in product damage and/or personal injury.

16.Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as recommended by the manufacturer.

17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.

18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding for the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-44 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Caution when moving the main unit

As this product is heavy, whenever it is moved, two

people are required to transport it safely. Whenever the

unit is moved it should be lifted forward using the top and base on both sides of the Television for stability.

When moving the Television, lift the handles , then support the bottom frame as shown below.

ANTENNA

nless your LCD Television is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set. In order to prevent an internal temperature increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches) from the sides/back of the Television, and 30 cm (12 inches) from the top of the television to the ceiling. To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modify them to accommodate your particular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should be made from coaxial shielded wire.

Before Operating External Video Source

Connect an external source to one of the INPUT terminals, then press the INPUTS button to show the

INPUTS menu. Use the CURSOR PAD (왖 and 왔) to select the Input of your choice. Then press the SELECT button or the CURSOR PAD 왘 to confirm your choice (see page 25).

Tips on Rear Panel Connections

• S-VIDEO, Y-PBPR, or HDMI connections are provided for high performance laserdisc players, VCRs etc. that

ave this feature. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this

feature.

• If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on (L/(MONO)) the Rear Panel.

• Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting your hook-up cables.

• A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot record its own video or line

output (INPUT: 1 in the example on page 16). Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on

line input-output connections.

• Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input jack.

• COMPONENT: Y-P DVD players and set-top-boxes. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature.

• Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y output to the TV’s PBinput and the components R-Y output to the TV’s PRinput.

• Your component outputs may be labeled Y-C TV’s PBinput and the components CRoutput to the TV’s PRinput.

• It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-PBPRinputs. (See

page 40).

• To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the Y-PBPR and HDMI input jacks.

• Input HDMI 1, HDMI 2 or HDMI FRONT can accept HDMI signal.

• S-VIDEO monitor output may be used for recording only when the input is of S-VIDEO type.

(Input 2 & 3) connections are provided for high performance components, such as

BPR

. In this case, connect the components CBoutput to the

BCR

First time use

• When using a HDMI input from a Set-Top-Box, it is recommended to use a 1080p, 1080i or 720p input signal.

• When HDMI input a 1080p signal, it is recommended that the length of the cable be less than 5 meters.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATION:

1. Video signals fed through a VCR may be affected by copyright protection systems and the picture

will be distorted on the television.

2. Connecting the television directly to the Audio /Video output of a Set-Top-Box will assure a more

normal picture.

2. The HDMI input on HDMI 1 , 2 and FRONT contains the copy protection system called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system that encrypts video signals when using HDMI connections to prevent illegal

copying of video contents.

3. HDMI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It establishes a one-way point-to-point

connection for delivery of uncompressed

video to a display.

The connected digital output device controls the HDMI interface so proper set-up of device user settings determines final

video appearance.

5. When using a DVI to HDMI cable, connect the Audio Out L and R cables at the same INPUT

(1 , 2 or Front) as your HDMI INPUT(1 , 2 or Front). (For HDMI-FRONT see page 14 for reference).
