It makes a difference how and where you use your flat panel display
As you enjoy your new product, keep these safety tips in mind
The issue
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.
Tune into safety
•
•
•
•
•
•
One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand rated for the weight of your TV.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.
Don’t let children climb on or play with entertainment system furniture and TVs.
Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger-than-life” TV. Make sure that you place or install the TV where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
Wall mounting
If you decide to wall mount your TV, always remember:
•One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of your TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this manual, or otherwise listed by an independent laboratory as suitable for your TV.
•Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.
•If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a professional installer.
•Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If
you are unsure, ask a professional installer.
•TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

Power source
Operate your TV only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult an electrician or your local power company.
Damage requiring service
Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
•If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV.
•If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.
•If your TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your TV to its normal operation.
•If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
•When your TV exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 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 the antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Note to CATV system installer
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable ground must be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Condensation
Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To prevent this, let the TV stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the TV is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the TV.
Mobile telephone warning
To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound, operating problems, or even damage, keep your cordless and cellular telephones away from the TV.
End of life directives
Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated for environmental reasons. Your TV also contains material that can be recycled and reused. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eia.org to find a recycler in your area.
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red point.

Aiming the remote control |
Programming your remote control |
Point the remote control towards the remote sensor on the front of your TV. The remote control should be used within 26 feet (7.9 m) of your TV when you point the remote control directly at the remote sensor and not from an angle. If you use the remote control at an angle to the remote sensor, the effective distance may be less.
To program your remote to control home theater devices, follow these steps.
To program your remote control:
1Before proceeding, find the codes for the devices you want to program in “Manufacturers’ codes” on page 38 and write them down or highlight them.

8Now that you have found the correct code, press SET to save the code that worked for your device. The LED blinks twice to indicate that the code has been saved.
9To search for other device codes, repeat Steps 1 to 8.
Checking the codes
If you have set up the remote using the procedure in “Searching for your code” on page 9, you may need to find out which five-digit code is operating your equipment.
To find out which code is assigned to your TV (for example):
1 Press TV once.
2Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
3 Enter 9 9 0. The LED blinks twice.
4To view the code for the first digit, press 1. Count the red LED blinks (for example, three blinks = 3), then write down the number in the appropriate code listing at the top of this column.
Note
If the LED does not blink, the code digit is 0.
5Repeat Step 4 for the four remaining digits, using 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, 4 for the fourth digit, and 5 for the fifth digit.
6To check for other device codes, repeat Steps 1 through 5, substituting the device key for the device you would like to check.
Using learning
This universal remote control includes a learning feature (some models may not include this) so you can add functions that are unique to your home entertainment devices (such as VCR Tracking Up or Down). However, there are some considerations to keep in mind.
Precautions
•Your original remote controls must be in working order for learning to work properly.
•Learned keys are mode-specific, so each one can store a unique function for each mode.
•Do not use the following keys for learning: Device Keys, SET, or (record).
•Learning capacity is approximately 42 to 75 keys, depending on the code being learned.
•Certain device functions are not learnable, including multi-frequency types, some high frequency functions, and other unusual formats.
Programming a learned key
To program a learned key:
1Place your Insignia remote control head-to-head (about 2" apart) from your original remote control (the one that came with the device). Also, locate the key (on your original remote control) that you want the Insignia remote control to learn. Press the mode key you wish to learn functions on.
2Press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice, then release.
3 Enter 9 7 5. The LED blinks twice.
Note
If more than 10 seconds pass between key presses, the remote exits programming.
If the LED displays one long flash instead, either your batteries are low, or the Insignia remote control has a memory fault. In either case, the remote cannot learn a new key.
4Press the key on the remote you wish to program. The feedback LED stays lit for three seconds, indicating that the remote is ready to learn.
5On the original remote, press and hold the key to be learned. Continue holding the key on the original remote until the Insignia’s LED blinks twice.
Note
If the red LED displays one long blink, a learning error has occurred. Try repeating this step again until a successful capture occurs. If the function is still not captured, press and hold SET to exit programming and review the Precautions” above. If needed, also see “Remote control programming” on page 50. After reviewing, start programming again at Step 1.
6Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to program another key. Once you have completed programming all the keys you want, press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice to save all data learned.
Deleting a single learning key
This process returns the key to its original programming for the mode you select. You can also delete learned programming by teaching a different function to the key (see “Programming a Learned Key” above).
Note
If more than 10 seconds pass between key presses, the remote exits programming.
If the LED displays one long flash instead, either your batteries are low, or the Insignia remote control has a memory fault. In either case, the remote cannot learn a new key.

Programming macros
Your Insignia universal remote control includes the ability to program any key (other than the SET key) with a macro function. Each one can be set up to perform a pre-programmed set of sequential key presses with the press of a single key. A macro can be used to control a home theater operation, to set a favorite channel, or for other functions you would like to control with one key press. Each macro key can hold up to 15 key presses, total.
Note
Programming a new macro over an existing one erases the original macro.
To program a mode-independent macro:
1Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
2 Press 9 9 5. The LED blinks twice.
3 Press the key you want to assign to a macro.
You can operate your Insignia TV with a new or existing universal remote control.
To program a universal remote control:
1Find the code for your universal remote control by identifying its model (or your set-top box’s remote control manufacturer and model) on the charts below, then making note of the numbered code below it. You will use the numbered code to program your remote control to work with your Insignia TV.

Tips
•The brand name is often visible on the front of the universal remote control, and the model number is often visible on the back.
•If your universal remote control isn’t listed on the chart, refer to your universal remote control’s instructions and try codes for the brands Orion, Emerson, Memorex, Sansui, Sylvania, or Zenith. You may need to try several codes before finding a match.
2Follow your universal remote control’s instructions to enter the TV code you found in Step 1.
Tips
•If your universal remote control has a code search feature, run a code search to identify a code that matches your TV. See your universal remote control’s instructions for details.
•If your universal remote control has a “Learn” feature, you can manually program it using the Insignia TV remote to “teach” the commands one at a time. See your universal remote control’s instructions for details.
3If all else fails, you must use a different universal remote control that can operate both your set-top box and your TV. Four such remotes are listed on the chart, but many other compatible models are available in the market.
For more help, call technical support for your universal remote control or set-top box manufacturer, or call the Insignia Customer Care Center at 1-877-467-4289.
Cautions
•Your TV should only be operated from the power source indicated on the label.
•Always unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet when you will not be using your TV for an extended period of time.
Antenna cables come in two types: Coaxial and twin-lead.
Coaxial cable
Cautions
•Check the connectors for position and type before making any connections.
•Loose connections can result in image or color problems.
•Make sure that all connections are tight and secure.
•The external audio/video equipment pictures used in this guide are for illustration purposes only. If you have questions, refer to the user manual that came with your equipment.
•Always turn off the power on your TV and the external audio/video equipment before making a connection.
•Your TV does not support DTS audio format. If you choose a DTS audio format, you may not hear the correct audio output from the TV speakers.
Twin-lead cable
To connect an antenna:
1 Turn off your TV and all connected equipment.
2If your antenna cable has a coaxial connector, connect the cable to the ANT./CABLE IN jack on the back of your TV.
Or,
If your antenna cable has a twin-lead connector, connect the cable to a coaxial-to-twin-lead (300-75 ohm) adapter (not included), connect the adapter to a coaxial cable, then connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the ANT./CABLE IN jack on the back of your TV.
3Connect the other end of the cable to the antenna jack.
Tips
If you plan on receiving over-the-air broadcasts, you will need to use a separate antenna (not included) to ensure the best reception.
Consult www.antennaweb.org for a list of local broadcast channels and recommendations for your location.

NS-L42Q120-10A/NS-L46Q120-10A 42"/46" LCD TV
Your TV has a coaxial jack for connecting cable TV.
Some cable TV providers scramble the signals for “premium” (pay) channels. To view these channels, you need a converter/descrambler box.
If you do not require a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your cable TV directly to your TV. For more information, see “No converter/descrambler box” on page 14.
If you require a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your cable TV using an RF switch (not included). For more information about connecting a converter/descrambler box, see “With converter/descrambler box” on page 14 and contact your cable TV provider.
You can also connect cable TV using an HDMI, component video, S-Video, or AV connection, depending on your cable box.
No converter/descrambler box
To connect cable TV without a converter/descrambler box:
1Connect one end of a coaxial cable to the ANT./CABLE IN jack on the back of your TV.
2Connect the other end of the cable to the cable TV wall outlet.
With converter/descrambler box
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), you need a two-way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of antenna cable. The two-way splitter and RF switch are not provided.
To connect cable TV with a converter/descrambler box:
•Use the following illustration as a guide to connect a converter/descrambler box.
Set the RF switch to the A position to tune to unscrambled channels using your TV remote control. Set the RF switch to the B position to watch scrambled channels using the converter/descrambler controls.
