v
■ Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near 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.
■ 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 Liquid Crystal 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.
■ The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 3,147,264 thin film transistors, giving you fine
picture details.
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 Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction. Storage

About Emergency Alert System (EAS)
■ In the case of a national emergency, natural
disaster, or other emergency situation, an EAS
message broadcasts. When this unit receives an
EAS message, if the level of emergency is
comparatively low, an alert text message displays
on screen. If the level of emergency is high, the
receiver is forced-tuned to a details channel.
■ Alert text messages display, and forced tuning
occurs, even during paid programming. Even
when forced tuning is active, the user can still
change the channel.
■ If the unit is forced-tuned to a channel that has
been blocked by Parental Control, the Parental
Control setting is given priority, and the EAS
message is not broadcast.
■ If you have a digital cable antenna connected,
you can receive EAS messages whether
CableCARD is inserted or not.
■ EAS messages may be broadcast not only through
digital cable, but also through analog cable or
over-the-air Analog transmission.
■ When forced tuning occurs, video output from the
Monitor Out terminal is also switched to the
details channel.
■ An alert text message does not output from
Monitor Out terminal.

pull the cable from i.LINK devices, even if those
i.LINK devices are not in use. This may affect the
picture and the sound from an i.LINK device
in use.
■ If devices such as a DVD recorders, digital video
cameras, PCs, and PC peripheral devices that are
not compatible with this TV, are connected to the
TV using i.LINK, other i.LINK connections may be
disrupted.
■ When device recognition, control, recording, or
playback, on an i.LINK connected device does not
function correctly, correct operation may be
restored by disconnecting and reconnecting the
i.LINK cable.
■ When connecting multiple i.LINK devices,
depending on the specifications and the
interoperability of the connected devices, their
operation may not be stable.
In that case, disconnecting all devices not in use
and changing the method of connection may
result in stable operation.
