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.

16. If the television is moved from a cold area, do not turn the television on for a few hours. This will allow the
unit to warm sufficiently to evaporate any condensation.
17. Install the television upright on a horizontal, solid, flat surface away from excessive heat, dust, and
vibration.
18. Keep a clearance of at least 4 inches (10 cm) between the vents on the back and/or sides of the
television and nearby walls or enclosures. Allow free air circulation to prevent excessive heat build up
that could cause the set to shut down or damage the television. Keep flammable objects susceptible to
heat damage at least 2 feet (0.5 m) away from the television’s vents.
19. Do not allow food, small objects, or liquid to get inside the television. If this should occur, contact product
support for assistance. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
20. Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supplied to your home, consult your television dealer or local power company.
21. Do not handle the power cord with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock.
22. Do not place hands, face, or other objects near the ventilation holes of the television. Because the
ventilation holes release heat, doing so could result in damage to the television or personal injury.

27. If any of the following conditions occur, immediately unplug the television from the wall outlet and contact
a qualified service technician to repair:
a.If the power cord or plug becomes damaged or frayed, do not attempt to unplug — locate the
appropriate circuit breaker and disable the outlet;
b.If the television has been exposed to rain, water, or other liquid;
c.If the television does not operate normally when operated as instructed in the operating instructions,
adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions – improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage to the television that could require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore to the television to normal operation;
d.If the television has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged;
e.If the television exhibits a distinct change in performance – this usually indicates that service is
required.
28. Should repair become necessary, advise the service technician servicing your television to only use parts
specified by the manufacturer. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or other
hazards.

•Call the CATV (cable television) system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC (U.S.
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70), or Canadian Electrical Code (CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 1),
which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground
must be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.
•If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the television, be sure the antenna or cable
system is electrically grounded to protect against voltage surges and built up static charges. Article
810 of the NEC (U.S. National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70) or Canadian Electrical Code (CAN/

Connecting the Television
What You Should Know Before Connecting
There are several factors to consider before you connect your television, such as where to place the television, how to
organize your external audio and video equipment, and how to protect your equipment from power surges. The
following suggestions can help you to determine how to receive the most enjoyment from your television.
•Optimal placement for viewing — It is recommended that viewers watch television at a distance of 9-25 ft.
from the TV. This distance should be measured from the center of the television.
•Use of indirect light — Position your television in an area of the room where no sunlight or room lighting will
be directed toward the TV. Many people prefer a minimal amount of light when watching television. You
should situate your television in an area of the room where you can easily control the light that shines onto the
television screen.
•Use of a surge protector — Consider the use of a surge protector to help prevent any damage to your
television due to electrical surges or power outages.
•Use of a television stand — Consider using a television stand or other type of furniture, such as an
entertainment stand, to help organize audio and video equipment. Placing the television on a sturdy stand or
table will help prevent any instability that may result in the TV toppling over and causing personal injury or
damage to the television. If you are using a television stand or wall mounting the television, use only stands
and wall mount kits that support this television’s specifications and be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
•Proper cable positioning — Insert all cables firmly into the appropriate connections and route all cables
down the sides of the back of the television, rather than directly down the center. For optimal audio and video
quality, place all external devices near the television, and use the shortest possible connection cables.
•Refrain from blocking ventilation holes — Be sure not to block any ventilation holes on any device. If you
stack devices, arrange them so that air circulates freely and each device has adequate ventilation.
Connecting Video Equipment
To use your television, you’ll need to connect one or more video sources, such as a television antenna, cable box,
VCR, or DVD player. You may also have other components in your entertainment system that you wish to use with your
television, such as an audio/video receiver, satellite receiver, personal digital video recorder (DVR), or video gaming
device. Use the information in the following pages to determine the best way to connect these components to your
television in order to receive the highest possible sound and picture quality.
Available Video Connections
There are multiple ways to connect your television to external video equipment. The way you connect your television
depends on the equipment you want to connect and the quality of the signal you want to receive.
The following table displays how to connect a number of common video devices to your television, as well as lists the
input sources and the cables needed to make these connections. The connections are listed in order from the best
picture quality to the lowest picture quality. Use this table to determine which output connections on your video
equipment will provide the highest quality connection.
NOTE:The television does not come with audio or video cables for connecting external equipment. Cables are
included with most external equipment.

Troubleshooting
Television Maintenance
The television requires very little maintenance. For best performance, keep the television clean and seek repair when
necessary.
Cleaning the Television
Keep the television clean as follows:
•Keep the television in an area free from excessive dust and dirt.
•Wipe the screen and case with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, polish, solvent, or other substances. Do not
attempt to clean any of the television’s internal surfaces.
•Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the air vents on the back and sides of the television. Do this at
least monthly, or more often if there is visible accumulation.
NOTE:Unplug the television when cleaning it to avoid risk of electric shock.

cyan, magenta, and yellow before finally turning off. The television displays these colors and makes any adjustments
necessary to ensure the quality of the picture. This is a normal cycle for this television.
