ATTACHMENTS
The manufacturer of your HD-Ready TV does not make any recommendations for attachments as they may cause hazards.
WATER AND MOISTURE
Do not use your HD-Ready TV near water, for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
ACCESSORIES
Do not place your HD-Ready TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall, causing serious bodily injury and serious damage to your TV.
Make sure that you move an HD-Ready TV and cart combination with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause your TV and cart combination to overturn.
VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your HD-Ready TV, and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not place your HD-Ready TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place your HD-Ready TV near or over a radiator or heat source. Do not place your HD-Ready TV in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless you provide adequate ventilation or follow the manufacturer's instructions.
POWER SOURCE
Operate your HD-Ready TV only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your HD-Ready TV dealer or local power company.
GROUNDING AND POLARIZATION
Your HD-Ready TV is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Instead of the polarized alternating-current line plug, your HD-Ready TV may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug (a plug having a third grounding pin). This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This, too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

POWER CORD PROTECTION
Route power supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, wall outlet, and the point where they exit from your HD-Ready TV.
LIGHTNING
To protect your HD-Ready TV from 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 or cable system.
This will prevent damage to your HD-Ready TV from lightning and power line surges.
POWER LINES
Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits because contact with them might be fatal.
OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your HD-Ready TV, make sure that 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 (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to correct 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.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in your HD-Ready TV because 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 your HD-Ready TV.
SERVICING
Do not attempt to service your HD-Ready TV yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
Unplug your HD-Ready TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
•When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
•If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen, into your HD-Ready TV.
•If your HD-Ready TV has been exposed to rain or water.
•If your HD-Ready TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because an incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your HD-Ready TV to its normal operation.
•If your HD-Ready TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
•If your HD-Ready TV exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When replacement parts are required, make sure that 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.

SAFETY CHECK
Upon completion of any service or repairs to your HD-Ready TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that your HD-Ready TV is in correct operating condition.
HEAT
Locate your HD-Ready TV away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
CONNECTING
When you connect your HD-Ready TV to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlets. 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.
SOUND VOLUME
Reduce the volume to the minimum level before you turn on your HD-Ready TV. Otherwise, sudden high volume sound may cause hearing loss or speaker damage.
SOUND DISTORTION
If your HD-Ready TV outputs distorted sound for a long time, the speakers may overheat and cause a fire.
HEADPHONES
When you use the headphones, keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use the headphones continuously with high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.
NOTE TO CABLE SYSTEM TV INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for correct 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.

Notes |
• Make sure that you have a clear line of sight between the |
|
remote sensor on the front of your HD-Ready TV and the |
|
remote control. |
•When direct sunlight, or an incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, or any other strong light shines on the remote sensor, the remote control function may be unstable.
•Do not try to recharge the batteries. They are not intended to be recharged.
•Use only the size and type of batteries specified. Do not mix different types of batteries together or old batteries with fresh ones.
•When the remote control will not be used for a long period of time or when the batteries are worn out, remove the batteries.
•Do not throw the batteries into a fire. Dispose of or recycle used batteries correctly.
•Do not drop, dampen, or disassemble the remote control.
Connecting to cable TV, a satellite dish, or an outside antenna
Note |
Install your HD-Ready TV in a room where direct light will not shine |
|
on the screen. Total darkness or a reflection on the screen may |
|
cause eye strain. We recommend soft, indirect lighting for |
|
comfortable viewing. |
|
|
Your HD-Ready TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a converter box which is generally provided by the cable company.
CONNECTING TO CABLE TV OR A SATELLITE DISH
To connect to cable TV without a converter box:
•Connect the CATV 75 Ω coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the back of your HD-Ready TV.

•Connect the 75 Ω cable from a combination VHF/UHF antenna to the antenna jack.
VHF/UHF 75 Ω
