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

A unique invisible speaker system
tuned by renowned audio expert,
Mr. Mark Levinson. Speakers are
embedded in strategic spots
behind the front cabinet and use
minute vibrations to turn the entire
front bezel into the speaker system.
The result s a clean, polished look,
and enhanced audio by increasing
the “sweet spot”, giving a wider and
richer sound field.

Unlike other sensors which can only
sense brightness of ambient light,
LG’s “Intelligent Sensor” uses
4,096 sensing steps to evaluate its
surroundings. Using a sophisticat­ed algorithm, the LG processes
picture quality elements including
brightness, contrast, color, sharp­ness and white balance. The result
is a picture optimized for it’s sur­roundings, more pleasing to watch
and which can also save up to 50%
in power consumption.

AV Mode is three preset picture
and audio settings. It allows the
viewer to quickly switch between
common settings. It includes
Cinema, Sports, and Game Modes.

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.

KENSINGTON SECURITY SYSTEM

ᯫ

This feature is not available for all models.

- The TV is equipped with a Kensington Security System con­nector on the back panel. Connect the Kensington Security
System cable as shown below.

- For the detailed installation and use of the Kensington Security

System, refer to the user’s guide provided with the Kensington
Security System.

For further information, contact http://www.kensington.com,

the internet homepage of the Kensington company. Kensington
sells security systems for expensive electronic equipment such
as notebook PCs and LCD projectors.

NOTE: The Kensington Security System is an optional accessory.

SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING
WHEN THE TV IS USED ON A STAND

ᯫ

You should purchase necessary components to prevent the TV from tipping over (when not using a
wall mount).

ᯫ

Image shown may differ from your TV.

We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward

direction, potentially causing injury or damaging the product.

Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.

ᯫ

Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the
picture.

* If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the

bolts.
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (sold separately) to the wall. Match the height of the bracket

that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.

Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.

PREPARATION

ᯫ

Use a sturdy rope (sold separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the
rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.

!

NOTE

 Use a platform or cabinet strong enough and large enough to support the size and weight of

the TV.

 To use the TV safely make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and the one on the TV are

the same.
