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
system and AC house current is exactly the same as in the U.S.A.

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.

Installation

Receiver Location
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.

The main unit is hot to the touch
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.
If the system is switched to external input and there is no external 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.
