SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and
safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation
precautions which you should be particularly aware of.

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

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should
be retained for future reference.

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

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be
followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water

- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved

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

6B. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended

international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties
of its cabinet design.

• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces-

sive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could
ultimately overturn the product.

• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing elec-

tronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items
could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause
product damage and/or personal injury.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,
the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a
built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede
the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.

11. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.

12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended
by the manufacturer.

13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges.

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats
and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig. below.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of
time.

16. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do
not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.

17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the

appliance; or

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits

a marked change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance

beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other
servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call 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.

SMART HELP

Note: In the past the

relationship between a TV
screen’s width to height, or aspect
ratio, has historically been 33%
wider than the picture screen
height (or a 4:3 aspect ratio). The
widescreen format of your TV
screen is nearly 80% greater than
its measure height (which
accounts for a 16:9 aspect ratio).
The reason for the 16:9 aspect
ratio screen is that it allows for the
dramatic and lifelike viewing of
original version movies and
cinemas (similar to the type found
in your local theaters). And the
16:9 aspect ratio widescreen is
also a good visual match for how
our eyes work in a horizontally
oriented field of view and action
plane.

Panoramic - Conventional
picture is expanded to fill the
full 16:9 aspect ratio screen
area. Most of the non-linear
picture expansion is performed
toward the outer edges so that
correct proportions are
retained in the center of the
screen.

4:3 (Standard) ­Conventional TV picture
format shows on the screen.
Black bar areas show on the
side margins of the screen.

16:9 (Expand) - Full
widescreen mode with linear
expansion to view HD
program broadcasts. Used for
material originally produced in
16:9 format.

Theater 1/2 - Expanded zoom
modes with picture images
increased in magnification.
Designed for use with
“letterbox” or cropped movie
images such as found with
Cinemascope or Cinerama
type program material.
Note: With the Theater modes
there can be some loss of
information at the edges as the
picture expands to fill the
screen.

Note: The Analog Format

button on the Pronto Remote
(touchscreen 1 of 5) can also
be used to quickly select the
various aspect ratio screen
control settings for PTV
viewing.

NOTE: Not all TV programs and product commercials are made for broadcast

with Closed Caption (CC) information included. Neither are all Closed Caption
modes (CAPTION 1-4; or TEXT 1-4) necessarily being used by a broadcast station
during the transmission of a closed caption program. Usually "CAPTION 1" is the
most used mode to view captioned material. Refer to your area's TV program
listings for the stations and times of Closed Caption shows.

Closed Caption information will usually appear
in black and white (although some broadcasters
or networks may occasionally use color to
highlight or draw attention to certain areas.)

CLOSED CAPTION

NOTE: The ON DURING
MUTE ONLY control can be

used to set the TV to turn the
Closed Caption mode "ON"
whenever the MUTE button
on the remote is pressed.

SMART HELP

Remember. Broadcast

stations will often use
spelling abbreviations, symbols,
dropouts and other grammatical
shortcuts in order to keep pace
with the on-screen action. These
type factors vary upon the source
of the captioned text material and
do not indicate a need for service
on the part of the TV.
