be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise it may cause hazards.
10)
11) 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.
12) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
13) 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.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this LCD TV, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition.
14) 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.
15) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD TV.
16) Never push objects of any kind into this LCD TV through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage

Important Safety Instructions
17) If an outside antenna is connected to the
television
equipment, be sure the antenna system
is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static
charges. In the U.S. Selection 810-21 of the
National Electrical Code 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.
18) An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits
as contact with them might be fatal.
19) Unplug this LCD TV from the wall outlet, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD TV.
c. If the LCD TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the LCD TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the LCD TV to normal operation.
e. If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
20) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician to use replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
21) WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
22) CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR
OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULL Y INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
23) CAUTION: USE WITH OTHER STAND MAY RESULT IN INSTABILITY CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY.
24) CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY
WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
NOTE: • This equipment is designed to operate in the U.S.A. and other countries where the broadcasting

Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD panel.
This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of
irreversible LCD panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.

Locate for comfortable viewing. A void placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture.
Optional External Equipment
The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For
best performance, Antenna cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from
your dealer or electronic supply store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various
components require. Also determine the length of cable you’ll need.
For optimum quality picture
When the LCD is exposed to light from outdoors or lighting fixtures, high-contrast pictures may not be displayed
clearly. Turn off florescent lamps near the LCD and place in a location not exposed to outdoor light.
How to use the LCD stand
Adjust the stand to your desired angle. The stand angle can be adjusted between 5 ° forward to 15 ° back.

Cause and remedy
Is power supply plug unplugged from the outlet?
•
If power will not go on with the remote control, is the power supply of the TV "Off"?
•
Is battery exhausted, or is battery polarity wrong?
•
Is the remote control receiver illuminated with strong light from a fluorescent lamp etc.?
•
Are you using the special-purpose remote control for this equipment?
•
(The unit will not operate with another remote control.)
Is there deterioration, breakage or disconnection of the antenna or antenna wire?
•
Is the antenna wire connected correctly?
•
Is the system affected (by radio wave interference or induced electromagnetic
•
waves) by external sources (automobiles or trains, high-voltage wires, neon,
motors, magnetized steel frame, or iron rain shutters, etc.)?
➠
Turn off the power supply, and try changing the equipment setup location. If
that has no effect, separate magnet-proofing will be required.
Is the antenna direction shifted?
•
Are reflected electromagnetic waves being received from mountains or buildings?
•
Is the equipment being affected by another TV (electromagnetic interference)?
•
➠Changing the TV setup location may lead to improvement.
Has the RECALL button been pressed?
•
➠Press the "RECALL button" again.

signal video, the n
This occurs when the signal driving the liquid crystal is lost, and is not
•
a malfunction.
The screen is darkened for a moment to conceal noise generated when
•
changing channels.
If the screen and audio are not abnormal, this sound is caused by
•
slight expansion and contraction of the cabinet due to changes in room
temperature. It has no effect on performance.
When input is switched to "video input", this may occur if there is no
•
signal at the video/audio input terminal.
This is due to noise generated when changing channels.
•
They may appear bent due to the received channel or some DVD
•
software. This is not a malfunction.
Are plugs securely inserted into each terminal?
•
➠Securely insert plugs all the way.
The main unit radiates heat, so some parts of the console reach a high
•
temperature. This is not a problem for performance or quality .
Set up at a location with good ventilation.
•
Do not cover the ventilation holes of the console with a tablecloth, etc.,
and do not place on top of other equipment (like a video deck).
umber will disappear.
