It makes a difference how and where you use

As you enjoy your new product, keep these

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.

CHILD SAFETY

your flat panel display

safety tips in mind

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.

Important safety instructions

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric
shock is present within your TV. This
label is located on the back of your TV.

15 The mains plug is the disconnecting device. The

plug must remain readily operable.

16 The apparatus with grounding-type plug is a

class I apparatus. Class I apparatus need to be
connected to earth ground wire to prevent
possible electric shock. Make sure that you
connect the class I apparatus to a mains socket
outlet with a protective earthing connection.

17 Remote control batteries should not be exposed

to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the
like.

18 The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature
accompanying your TV.

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 a 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, such as
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.

S3125A

Warnings

Electric shock hazard

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
remove any cover or expose the device to rain or
moisture. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service technicians.

Lightning

For added protection for your device receiver
during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect any
antenna or cable system. This helps prevent
property damage and personal injury from
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.

Handling the LCD panel

• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop
your TV or hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD
panel. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken
glass.

• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure
that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This
may cause skin inflammation.

• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately
gargle, rinse, and consult with your doctor. Also, if
the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin,
consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least
15 minutes or longer in clean water.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure
that the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock,
personal injury, or other hazards.

Safety check

After completing any service or repair to this device,
ask the service technician to perform routine safety
checks to determine that your TV is in correct
operating condition.

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.

Cautions

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. These non-active pixels do not adversely
affect the performance of your TV, and are not
considered defects.

Programming a universal remote control to work with your TV

You can operate your Insignia TV with a new or
existing universal remote control.

Codes for other remote controls are available
online at:

www.insigniaproducts.com/universalcontrolcodes.aspx

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.

2 Follow 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 T V. 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.

3 If 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.

To program a universal remote control:

1 Find 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.

Connecting cable TV

Your TV has a 75 ohm 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 10.

If you require a converter/descrambler box, you can
connect your cable TV using an RF switch (not

a converter/descrambler box, see “With
converter/descrambler box” on page 10 and
contact your cable TV provider.

You can also connect cable TV using an HDMI,

• Do not use your TV in areas that are too hot or too
cold, because the cabinet may warp or the screen
may malfunction. Your TV works best in

• Working temperatures are 41° to 104°F (5° to
40°C).

• Do not place your TV in direct sunlight or near a
heat source.

Cleaning the TV cabinet

Clean the cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. If the
cabinet is especially dirty, moisten a soft, lint-free
cloth in a weak detergent solution, squeeze the
excess moisture from the cloth, then wipe the
screen or cabinet with the cloth. Use a clean cloth to
dry the screen or cabinet.
