(Except for devices which are not grounded.)
Ensure that you connect the earth ground
wire to prevent possible electric shock
(i.e. a TV with a three-prong grounded AC
plug must be connected to a three-prong
grounded AC outlet). If grounding methods
are not possible, have a qualified electrician
install a separate circuit breaker. Do not try to
ground the unit by connecting it to telephone
wires, lightening rods, or gas pipes.

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.

Antenna grounding according to the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

Cleaning



When cleaning, unplug the power cord and
wipe gently with a soft cloth to prevent
scratching. Do not spray water or other
liquids directly on the TV as electric shock
may occur. Do not clean with chemicals such
as alcohol, thinners, or benzine.

Dot Defect



The 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’re viewing the TV.
Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not
affect the performance and reliability of the
TV.

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 high­speed switching circuit, which supplies a
large amount of current to operate a product.
It varies depending upon the product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
Take care not to touch the ventilation



openings. When watching the TV for a long
period, the ventilation openings may become
hot. This does not affect the performance of
the product or cause defects in the product.
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 TV’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.

Preventing image burn or burn-in on your
TV screen

If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for



a long period of time, it will be imprinted and
become a permanent disfigurement on the
screen. This is image burn or burn-in and not
covered by the warranty.
If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a



long period of time, image burn may occur on
the letterboxed area of the screen.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV



screen for a long period of time (2 or more
hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for the
Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.

CHILD SAFETY:

It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use
Your Flat Panel Display

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please
keep these safety tips in mind:

THE ISSUE

• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing
trend and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases.
However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the
proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.

• Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall

over and cause injury.

THIS MANUFACURER CARES!

• The consumer electronics industry is committed to making
home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TUNE INTO SAFETY

• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat
panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.

• Don’t allow place flat panel displays 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” flat panel display.
Care should be taken to place or install the display where it
cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they
cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL

DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an
independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer
about professional installation.

• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate.
Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel
studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a
professional installer.

• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel
displays can be heavy.

Transmission [m][a][ ][0][ ][Data00][ ][Data01]

[ ][Data02][ ][Data03][ ][Data04][ ][Data05][Cr]

Digital channels have a Physical, Major, and Minor
channel number. The Physical number is the actual
digital channel number, the Major is the number that
the channel should be mapped to, and the Minor is
the sub-channel. Since the ATSC tuner automatically
maps the channel from the Major / Minor number,
the Physical number is not required when sending a
command in Digital.
