Important Safety Instructions
Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage if
improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. However,
improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following
instructions when installing, operating, and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of
your television, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.
6 Clean only with dry cloth.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding-type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12 Use only with the 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, the 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 Power sources — This product 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 supply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. For products
intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
16 Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
17 Replacement parts — When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as
the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
18 Safety check — Upon completion of any service
or repairs to this product, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the product is in proper operating condition.
19 The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on apparatus.

sa6ldtv.book Page vi Tuesday, February 21, 2006 12:35 PM
20 WARNING: Plug the power cord into a power
outlet where access to the power cord connector is
readily accessible in case power disconnection is
required.
■ Water and moisture — Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,
21 Servicing: The user should not attempt to service
the appliance beyond that described in the
operating instructions. All other servicing should
be referred to qualified service personnel.
or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
■ Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. Placing the product on an unstable
base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use
only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product.
■ Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.
■ Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block
these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the
product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation
openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such
as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
■ The display panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or
applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the panel breaks.
■ Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as fireplaces, chimneys, radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
■ Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green, or red. Please
note that this does not affect the performance of your product.
■ Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments:
When the unit is used in low-temperature space (e.g., room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly
delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight
or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the display panel to malfunction. Storage
temperature: –4
■ Precautions when transporting the TV — When transporting the TV, be sure to always carry the TV by two people

F to +140o F (–20o C to +60o C).
holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the Display.
■ Lightning — For added protection for this television equipment 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. This
will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.
■ 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.

sa6ldtv.book Page vii Tuesday, February 21, 2006 12:35 PM
■ Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside
antenna is connected to the television equipment,
be sure the antenna 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 70,
provides information with regard 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.
