About this User Manual

This manual contains all information you will need to initially install and operate your new TV. Also read the help texts which are being displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket or hang the TV to the wall before all connections are made.

• Place or hang the TV wherever you want, but make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots. Leave at least 4” to 6” free all around the TV.

• Do not place the TV on a carpet.

• Do not install the TV in a confined space such

as a book case or a similar unit.

• To prevent any unsafe situations,no naked flame

sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed in the vicinity.

• Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain

or water.

• The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing.

• To prevent damaging the power (AC) cord

which could cause a fire or electric shock, do not place the TV on the cord.

Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently.

And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen. When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks.

Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen.This is called phosphor burn in. Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen.

Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing):

•

TV menus;

•

Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended to

change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen;

•

TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary.Moving or low-contrast

graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen;

•

Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom of the TV screen;

•

Shopping channel logos and pricing displays:bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the

same location on the TV screen. Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters, etc.

Notes:

- reduce contrast and brightness when viewing

- once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Before you start

Overview of the rear connector panel

Your new TV is provided with a special slot called a CableCARD™ which means that you do not need a separate set top box to receive digital cable SDTV and HDTV programs. However it is still possible to connect a set top box to your TV. The CableCARD, which will be available from your cable system operator, is designed only for that particular digital cable TV system. If you need to get digital cable TV from a different system, simple swap your old CableCARD for a new one. Cable systems can provide a wide range of digital TV programs and even specialized digital audio channels. Cable TV systems can offer many local-interest channels you won’t see off-air or from a satellite broadcast. Examples include local school and community access channels.

CableCARD™ *

A CableCARD is a removable card distributed by cable companies, that is inserted into the CableCARD slot at the bottom of your television. CableCARD allows you to tune digital and high definition scrambled or encrypted cable channels through the cable antenna. Consult your cable company on the availability of CableCARD.The CableCARD is required to receive premium digital TV channels and services (where available) through the cable. A CableCARD functionality includes conditional access and copy protection. See settings menu, CableCARD applications, p. 18.

Available channels:

- Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM): max. from 1 to 135

- Terrestrial (analog NTSC or digital ATSC): max. from 2 to 69

If a tuned channel is not yet in the master channel map, the TV will attempt to tune the channel and it will be added to the map. If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear that the channel is not available.

When you tune an audio-only digital subchannel, a display appears with the message Audio only.

Channel tuning

Important:After the installation of the TV channels has been

done, always make a selection in the Installation menu between Antenna or Cable whether you want to watch Antenna TV channels or Cable TV channels. Note: Do not start Autoprogram but press the red color button.Then press the

button. If you make use of a signal splitter do not forget to put the switch in the corresponding position.

Notes:

- Subchannel selections

The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible to receive multiple program channels under a single major channel number which can be selected by pressing the digit remote control direct-access channel number entry.

- Digital Channel selection delay

Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel digital programming, the time to select and view a digital channel may take slightly longer than what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as compared to analog channel programs). Digital channel broadcasts contain program and system data information that must be processed before the channel selection can be displayed.
