that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.

■ Secure ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable
operation of the LCD TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered.
There should be at least 10 cm of space from these openings. The openings should never be blocked by

is grounded so as to provide some protection

equipment, be sure the antenna system

against voltage surges and built up static
charges. In the U.S. Section 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.

19) An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

MONO until reception improved.

The battery/ies is/are exhausted.
The batteries’ polarity is wrong.
The remote control sensor is exposed to strong light from a fluorescent
lamp, etc.

The main unit radiates heat and some of the parts may become hot.
This is not a problem for performance or quality.

Do not cover the ventilation holes of the TV with a tablecloth, etc., and
do not place on top of other equipment.

This is a characteristic of liquid crystal panels and is not a problem.
The liquid crystal panel is built with very high precision technology
giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels
may appear on the screen as fixed points of red, blue, green, or black.
Please note this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
