IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO PREVENT “IMAGE
BURN / BURN-IN” ON YOUR TV SCREEN

ᯫ

When a fixed image (e.g. logos, screen menus, video game, and computer display) is displayed on
the TV for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on the screen. This phenom­enon is known as “image burn” or “burn-in.” Image burn is not covered under the manufacturer’s
warranty.

ᯫ

In order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a fixed image on your TV screen for a prolonged
period (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more
hours for Plasma).

ᯫ

Image burn can also occur on the letter­boxed areas of your TV if you use the 4:3
aspect ratio setting for an extended period.

registers, stoves, or other appa­ratus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

5

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.

6

Protect the power cord from
being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, conve­nience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the
apparatus.

7

Only use attachments/acces­sories specified by the manu­facturer.

8

Use only with the 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.

9

Unplug this apparatus during
lighting storms or when unused
for long periods of time.

10

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.

11

Never touch this apparatus or antenna dur­ing a thunder or lighting storm.

12

When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure
not to install the TV by the hanging power
and signal cables on the back of the TV.

13

Do not allow an impact shock or any objects
to fall into the product, and do not drop
onto the screen with something.

14

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord:
It is recommend that appliances be placed

upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single
outlet circuit which powers only that appli­ance and has no additional outlets or
branch circuits. Check the specification
page of this owner's manual to be certain.

Do n ot connect too many appliances to the
same AC power outlet as this could result in
fire or electric shock.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded
wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets,
extension cords, frayed power cords, or
damaged or cracked wire insulation are
dangerous . Any of these conditions could
result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deteriora­tion, unplug it, discontinue use of the appli­ance, and have the cord replaced with an
exact replacement part by an authorized
servicer. Protect the power cord from phys­ical or mechanical abuse, such as being
twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to
plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the
cord exits the appliance.

Do not make the TV with the power cord
plugged in. Do not use a damaged or loose
power cord. Be sure do grasp the plug
when unplugging the power cord. Do not
pull on the power cord to unplug the TV.

22

ANTENNAS
Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the
precautions below. An outdoor antenna sys­tem should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light
or power circuits, or where it can come in
contact with such power lines or circuits as
death or serious injury can occur.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against volt­age surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) in the U.S.A. provides information
with respect 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.

28

Dot Defect

The Plasma or LCD panel is a high technol­ogy product with resolution of two million to

six million pixels. In a very few cases, you
could see fine dots on the screen while

you’reviewing the TV. Those dots are deacti­vated pixels and do not affect the perfor­mance and reliability of the TV.

29

Generated Sound

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs
when watching or turning off the TV is gener­ated by plastic thermal contraction due to
temperature and humidity. This noise is com­mon for products where thermal deformation
is required.

Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A
low level noise is generated from a high-speed
switching circuit, which supplies a large amount
of current to operate a product. It varies
depending on the product.

This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.

30

For LED LCD TV/LCD TV

If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be
a small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is
normal, there is nothing wrong with TV.

Some minute dot defects may be visible on
the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or
blue spots. However, they have no adverse
effect on the monitor’s performance.

Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your
finger(s) against it for long periods of time.
Doing so may produce some temporary dis­tortion effects on the screen.

ON DISPOSAL

(Only Hg lamp used LCD TV)

The fluorescent lamp used in this product con­tains a small amount of mercury. Do not
dispose of this product with general house­hold waste. Disposal of this product must be
carried out in accordance to the regulations of
your local authority.
