Safety and Troubleshooting Information
Safety precautions and maintenance
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified in this
documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards and/or mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your LCD TV:
• Unplug the TV if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.
• Unplug the TV if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen may be wiped with a dry cloth
when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents or ammonia-based liquids.
• Consult a service technician if the TV does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in
this manual.
• The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
• Keep the TV out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.
• Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the TV’s electronics.
• Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
• Keep the TV dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.
• When positioning the TV, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
• If turning off the TV by detaching the power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds before attach the
power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.
• To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the TV to rain or excessive
moisture.
• IMPORTANT: When using as a PC monitor, always activate a screen saver program during your application.
If a still image in high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an 'afterimage' or 'ghost image' on the front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the
shortcomings inherent in the LCD technology. In most cases, the after-image will disappear gradually over a
period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware, that the after-image symptom cannot be
repaired and is not covered under warranty.
Consult a service technician if the TV does not operate normally when the operating instructions given in this
manual have been followed.

Controls. (The backlight of the product has a
fixed life span. When the screen becomes dark
or begins to flicker,
please contact your dealer.)
14
An after-image appears
An afterimage remains after the power
has been turned off.
• If an image remains on the screen for an
extended period of time, it may be imprinted in
the screen and leave an afterimage. This
usually disappears after a few hours.
• This is characteristic of liquid crystal and is not
caused by a malfunction or deterioration of the
liquid crystal. The afterimage will disappear after
a period of time.
Green, red, blue, dark and white dots
remain.
TV and Audio Problems
Poor TV signal reception
No TV picture
No sound
• The remaining dots are normal characteristic of
the liquid crystal used in today’s technology.
• The proximity of mountains or high buildings
may be responsible for ghost pictures, echoing
or shadows. In this case, try manually adjusting
your pictures: see 'fine tuning' or adjust the
direction of the outside aerial.
• Have you connected the aerial socket properly?
Have you chosen the right system? Poorly
connected aerial sockets are often the cause of
picture or sound problems (sometimes the
connectors can become half disconnected if the
TV set is moved or turned). Check all
connections.
• Ensure that the audio cables are firmly
connected to both the audio input connectors on
your TV and audio output connectors on your
PC or Video player.
For further assistance, contact your local distributor.

Locking the set / Parental Controls
Understanding Parental Controls
The Parental Controls feature receives and processes the data that contains program content advice sent by the
broadcasters or other program providers. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with Parental Controls can
respond to the content advice and block any program content that may be considered unsuitable (such as offensive
language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature for censoring the type of programs children watch.
In the Parental Controls section you'll learn how to block channels and programs that are not rated, are unrated, or
have no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF. Below brief explanations are
given of some terms and ratings relate to the Parental Controls feature.
Parental Controls offers a variety of Blocking Options:
BLOCKING
The BLOCKING control can be thought of as the 'master switch' for Parental Controls. This control implements the
settings you have selected in order to block programs in accordance with movie ratings or TV ratings, or to block
programs that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking or censoring of
programs is disabled. When the BLOCKING control is ON, programs will be blocked in accordance with the settings
you have chosen.
You can also block individual channels or block programs on the basis of the ratings of the MPAA and TV
broadcasters.
Movie Ratings (Motion Picture Association of America)
G: General Audience - All ages admitted. Most parents would find these programs suitable for all ages.
