Important safeguards
Electrical energy can perform many useful
functions, but it can also cause pe rs on a l in juri es
and property damage if improperly handled. This
television has been engineered and
manufactured with the highest priority on safety.
But improper use can result in potential electrical
shock or fire hazard. In order to prevent potential
danger, please observe the following instructions
when installing, operating, and cleaning the
television. To ensure your safety and prolong the
service life of your television, read the following
precautions carefully before using the product.
1 Read these instructions—All operating
instructions must be read and understood
before the product is operated.
2 Keep these instructions—These safety and
operating instructions must be kept in a safe
place for future reference.
3 Heed all warnings—All warnings on the
product and in the instructions must be
observed closely.
4 Follow all instructions—All operating
instructions must be followed.
5 Do not use this television near water—for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool.
Do not use this television immediately after
moving from a low temperature to high
temperature environment, as this causes
condensation, which may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
6 Clean only with dry cloth—Unplug this
product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
7 Ventilation—Do not block any ventilation
openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer instructions. 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 television. Do not place
the television on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface, since they can block
ventilation openings. This television is not
designed for a built-in installation. Do not
place the television in an enclosed place
such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's
instructions are followed.
8 Heat sources—Do not install near any heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
9 Grounding or Polarization—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 Power cord protection—Protect the power
cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the television.
11 Attachments—Only use attachments/
accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Do not use attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer. Use of improper
attachments can result in accidents.
12 Stand—Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the television. Do
not place the television on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, or table. Placing the television
on an unstable base can cause the television
to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as
well as damage to the television. When
mounting the television on a wall, be sure to
follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use
only the mounting hardware recommended
by the manufacturer.
13 Move carefully—When a
cart is used, use ca utio n
when moving the cart/
television combination to
avoid injury from
tip-over. Sudden stops,
excessive force and
uneven floor surfaces
can cause the television
to fall from the cart.
Never attempt to move the television unless
the AC power cord has been disconnected.
14 If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to your television, 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 70, provides information with
regard to proper 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.

• Secure the antenna lead-in and ground
wires to the house with stand-off
insulators spaced from 4-6 feet
(1.22-1.83 meter) apart.
• Mount the antenna discharge unit as
close as possible to where the lead-in
enters the house.
• Use a jumper wire not smaller than
No. 6AWG (13.3 mm
2
) copper, or the
equivalent, when a separate
antenna-grounding electrode is used. See
ANSI/NFPA70.
15 Lightning—Unplug this television during
lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
For added protection for this television
equipment during 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. This will prevent
damage to the equipment due to lightning
and power-line surges.
16 Servicing—Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel. Servicing is required
when the television 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 television, the television
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
17 Replacement parts—In case the television
needs replacement parts, make sure that the
service person uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer, or those with
the same characteristics and performance as
the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts
can result in fire, electric shock and/or other
danger.
18 Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or convenience receptacles
on other equipment as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.
19 Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert
an object into the television through vents or
openings. High voltage flows in the television,
and inserting an object can cause electric
shock and/or short internal parts. For the
same reason, do not spill water or liquid on
the television.

Insignia NS-LCD26A LCD TV
20 Damage requiring service—If any of the
following conditions occurs, unplug the power
cord from the AC outlet, and request a
qualified service person to perform repairs.
• When the power cord or plug is damaged.
• When a liquid is spilled on the television
or when objects have fallen into the
television.
• When the television has been exposed to
rain or water.
• When the television does not operate
properly as described in the operating
instructions.
Do not touch the controls other than those
described in the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of controls not
described in the instructions can cause
damage, which often requires extensive
adjustment work by a qualified technician.
• If the television has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged in any way.
• When the television displays an abnormal
condition or exhibits a distinct change in
performance. Any noticeable abnormality
in the television indicates that the
television needs ser vic ing.
21 Safety checks—Upon completion of service
or repair work, request the service technician
to perform safety checks to ensure that the
television is in proper operating condition.
22 Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting
the television on a wall or ceiling, be sure to
install the television according to the method
recommended by the manufacturer. This is a
safety feature.
23 Power source—This television is intended to
be supplied by a listed power supply
indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your
home, consult your television dealer or local
power company. For added protection for this
television during 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 cable system. This will
prevent damage to the television due to
lightning and power line surges. When the
television has to be used with another power
supply voltage, the power cable must be
changed. Consult your television dealer. The
socket outlet should be installed near the
equipment and easily accessible. Use only
the power cord designated by our dealer to
ensure safety and EMC. When connecting
other televisions such as VCRs and personal
computers, you should turn off the power of
the television for protection against electric
shock.
24 Panel protection—The display panel used in
this television is made of glass. Therefore, it
can break when the television is dropped or
impacted upon by other objects. Be careful
not to be injured by broken glass pieces in
case the LCD panel breaks.
25 Pixel defect—The display panel is a very high
technology television, giving you finely
detailed pictures. 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 television.
Note to cable television system installer
This reminder is provided to call the cable
television system installer’s attention to Section
820 40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for
proper 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.

Example: Channel 5-1. The “5” is the major
channel number and the “1” is the minor channel
number.
• In the US, in most locations the major
channel number is the same for both analog
and digital channels (It is equal to the NTSC
channel number for existing broadcasters.)
• In the US, a minor channel number of zero is
used for a broadcaster's analog channel.
Channel Numbering Example
• Original NTSC channels for Des Moines, IA:
5, 8, 11, 13, and 17.
• Possible NTSC + ATSC channels for Des
Moines, IA: 5-0, 8-0, 11-0, 13-0, and 17-0
(channel numbers for existing analog
channels) and 5-1, 5-2, 8-1, 8-2, 8-3, 8-4,
and 13-1 (channel numbers for digital
channels).

Maintaining
About temperature
• Do not use the television in hot and cold
rooms (locations).
• When the television is used in rooms
(locations) with low temperature, the picture
may leave trails or appear slightly delayed.
This is not a malfunction and the television
will recover when the temperature returns to
normal.
• Do not leave the television in a hot or cold
location. Also, do not leave the television in a
location exposed to direct sunlight or near a
heater, as this may cause the cabinet to
deform and the screen to malfunction.
• Storage temperature: 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C)
• Working temperature: 41 to 104°F (5 to 40°C)
About After-Image
The extended use of a fixed image program can
cause a permanent after-image (also known as
burn-in) on the screen. This background image
is viewable on normal programs in the form of a
stationary fixed image. This irreversible screen
damage can be limited by doing the following:
• Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a
minimum viewing level.
• Do not display the fixed image for extended
periods of time.
• Turn the power to the television off when not
in actual use.
Caution
• Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an
extended period, as this can cause a
permanent after-image to remain on the
screen.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video
games, computer images, teletext, and images
displayed in 4:3 mode.
• The permanent after-image on the screen
resulting from fixed image use is not an
operating defect and as such is not covered by
the warranty.
• This television is not designed to display fixed
images for extended periods of time.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To clean this television, wipe with a soft, dry
cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a
soft cloth dipped in a soap and water solution or
a weak detergent solution.
• Use eyeglass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt
from the screen.
• Never use alcohol, paint thinner, or benzine
to clean this television.
• Before using a chemically treated cloth, read
the instructions that came with the cloth
carefully.
Troubleshooting
If, after reading these operating instructions, you
have additional questions related to the use of
your television, call the service center.

Programming the remote control
Introduction
Your remote lets you control four devices with
one easy-to-use, compact unit. After installing
batteries, you can program the remote to control
your VCR or DVD, cable or satellite receivers,
amplifier or tuner, and auxiliary devices. To do
so, follow the instructions in “Programming a
Device” For best results, please read and follow
all the remaining instructions. Keep this guide for
future reference.
Note
The universal remote control unit can't be
programmed to control a different brand of
television. It has been preset to control this
television set and this preset is unchangeable.
Programming a device
To control a VCR or DVD, cable or satellite
receiver, amplifier or tuner, and auxiliary device,
follow these steps. Before proceeding, find the
codes for the devices you want to program in the
following tables and write them down or highlight
them.
Note
To program a DVD player, portable DVD player, or
mobile DVD pla yer, use the DVD key.
To program a device:
1 Turn on the device (for example, the DVD
player) and, if needed, load the media (for
example, a DVD).
2 Press the DVD, CBL, or AUX button.
3 Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks
twice, then release the button.
4 Enter the first five-digit code for your device.
The LED blinks once as each digit is entered.
If the code is correct, the LED blinks twice.
Note
If the LED does not blink twice, repeat steps 2 to 4
and try entering the code again.
5 Aim the remote at the device and press
Power. The device should turn off. If it does
not, repeat steps 3 to 5, trying each code for
your brand until you find one that works. If
you cannot find a code that works, see
“Searching for Your Code”

AUX Code:
CBL Code:
CD Code:
DVD Code:
SAT Code:
TNR Code:
VCR Code:
7 Press SET to save your code and exit setup.
Searching for your code
If your device does not respond to the remote
after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if
your brand is not listed, try searching for your
code:
1 Press a device key once.
2 Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks
twice; then release.
3 Enter 9-9-1, then the device group number
(0= Cable, 1= TV, 2= VCR, 3= Audio). The
LED blinks twice.
4 Aim the remote at the device and press
Power. The remote sends IR codes from its
library to the selected device, starting with
the most popular code first. If the device
responds, go to step 7.
5 If the device does not respond, press CH+.
The remote will try the next code. Continue
until the device responds.
Note
Press CH- to try the previous code.
6 To search for other device codes, repeat
steps 1 to 5.
7 Press SET to save your code and exit setup.
Checking the Codes
If you have set up the remote using the
procedure in “Searching for Your Code” you may
need to find out which four-digit code is
operating your equipment.
To find out which code is assigned to your
DVD:
1 Press DVD once.
2 Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks
twice, then release the button.
3 Enter 9-9-0. The LED blinks twice.
4 To view the code for the first digit, press 1.
Count the LED blinks (for example, three
blinks = 3), and write down the number in the
appropriate code listing in step 6 under
“Programming a Device”
Note
If a code digit is 0, the LED does not blink.
5 Repeat 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.
6 To check for other device codes, repeat steps
1 to 5, substituting the device key for DVD.
Changing Volume Lock
The remote comes preset to allow independent
volume control of each selected device (Global
Volume Unlock). However, you may change the
Volume Lock setting to Global Volume Lock so
that one device's volume will control volume in
all other modes. After that, you can perform
Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to
set its volume control for independent operation
or Global Volume Unlock to remove all volume
locking.
To lock volume control to one mode (Global
Volume Lock):
1 Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks
twice, then release the button.
2 Enter 9-9-3 and then press the mode key for
the device you want to control volume (for
example, DVD). The LED blinks twice. Now
when you press VOL+, VOL-, or Mute, the
selected device (for example, DVD) will
control the volume regardless of the current
mode.
To unlock all volume control (restoring
Global Unlock):
1 Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks
twice, then release the button.
2 Enter 9-9-3 and then press VOL+. The LED
blinks four times. Volume is now
independently controlled for all programmed
devices.
To unlock a single device's volume control:
1 Press a device key (DVD, CBL, or AUX).
2 Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks
twice, then release the button.
3 Enter 9-9-3 and then press VOL-. The LED
blinks four times. Volume is now
independently controlled for the selected
devices.
