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.

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.

Warning

Introduction

Congratulations on your new Insignia Advanced Series television! This television incorporates some new, advanced technology features:
AUDYSSEY Dynamic Volume plus Dynamic EQ: Have you ever caught yourself wishing that you didn't constantly need to adjust the volume: wishing that the commercials wouldn't blare and that you could better hear whispering during a movie scene? Audyssey Dynamic Volume is a feature that lets you put the remote control down and enjoy your show while Audyssey adjusts the sound levels for you automatically. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is a feature that automatically finds the richest sound settings—including enhanced bass—for each scene, even when the volume level is held steady, making the sound coming from your TV speakers sound more lifelike. See page 19 for instructions on how to adjust the audio settings to take advantage of Audyssey.
SRS TruSurround HD: At Insignia, providing you with superior audio quality is just as important as exceptional picture quality. That's why we added SRS TruSurround HD, which provides you with a theater-like surround-sound experience, with the clearer dialog and the enhanced bass sounds that movie viewers and games crave. (Page 19)
Game Mode: Video games generally require adjustments to the television picture settings to get the maximum experience. By simply pressing a button on your remote control, your television settings will automatically adjust for video games. It couldn't be easier. (The button is featured on your remote control. More game settings instructions are on page 17).
1080p, 120Hz with Motion-Detection Technology: With a 120 Hz screen refresh rate
twice the rate of a 60 Hz screen, a screen with 1,080 lines of resolution (up from 720 lines in the last generation of HDTVs), and special motion-detection technology, you will be experiencing a picture with clearer detail and brightness, smoother transitions, and reduced motion blurring, particularly when watching fast-motion sports and action scenes. (Page 18)
Advanced Light Control: The backlight used in your LCD TV does not need to operate at maximum wattage for all room conditions, nor for all images projected onto your screen. The lighting requirements of some scenes are lower than others. Using intelligent light sensing technology, your Insignia Advanced Series television can automatically find these opportunities to reduce the power consumed by its backlight, saving energy without sacrificing picture quality. (Page 18)
SupraHD by Zoran: An advanced-design microprocessor enables the exceptional picture and sound quality that you expect from today's home theater.

Programming a universal remote control to work with your TV

You can operate your Insignia TV with a new or existing universal remote control.
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.
Insignia TV codes for universal remote controls
(for all Insignia TVs manufactured after Jan. 1, 2007)

www.insigniaproducts.com
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.

“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 9.
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 10 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. For more information, see “Connecting cable TV via a cable TV box” on page 10.
