Installation

Receiver Location

Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid 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 Ω 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.

Adjust viewing position

The LCD screen can be tilted up to 10° rearward.

2 Batteries “AA”

1 F-Type Antenna Connector (for 4C-2V) (K1RKZBA00001)

About LCD Panel

The red, blue, and green dots on the screen are a characteristic of the LCD panel and not a malfunction.

• Please note that extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen resulting in a 99.99 % pixel effective rate. This leaves only 0.01 % pixels inactive or always lit.

The lightning flash with arrow head within a triangle is intended to tell the user that parts inside the product are a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to tell the user that important operating and servicing instructions are in the papers with the appliance.

 Note to CATV System Installer:

This reminder is provided to direct the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820–40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

 Important Safety Instructions for this unit

1) Read these instructions. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2) Keep these instructions. The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3) Heed all warnings. All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4) Follow all instructions. All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water. For example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

6) Clean only with dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Slots and Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or groundingtype plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12) 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. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

14) 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.

15) To prevent electric shock, ensure the grounding pin on the AC cord power plug is securely connected.

16) 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.

• The marking or retained image on the LCD panel resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods of time.

e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been

damaged.

f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance

- this indicates a need for service.

19) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses 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.

20) WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT PLACE LIQUID CONTAINERS (FLOWER VASES, CUPS, COSMETICS, ETC.) ABOVE THE SET. (INCLUDING ON SHELVES ABOVE, ETC.)

21) CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

• CDs can be played as usual.

• Audio from the Digital Audio Out terminal is only output during playback.

• When connecting an amplifier which contains the Dolby Digital or dts

Notes:

• Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts Interface may not work properly with the unit.

• Avoid bending/ twisting the optical digital cable when connecting.

For your reference:

• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.

• LPCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in

44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full

Notes:

• However, if the mode selected does not match the aspect ratio of the input signal, the original picture quality may be affected.

• If a normal (4:3) picture is projected in wide screen, distortion may occur around the edges so that part of the picture may no longer be visible. We recommend viewing in 4:3 mode so you can enjoy the picture as it was intended to be seen.
