Important Information

LCD panels are produced with state-of-the-art technology. However, there may be black or
lit spots on the screen under certain circumstances. That does not mean that the product is
faulty.

1.1 Cleaning the screen and cabinet...

After powering off, wipe the screen and the cabinet clean with a soft and dry cloth. We
recommend that you do not use patented polishes or solvents to clean the screen or cabinet
since they may cause damage.

1.2 Disposing of your TV at the end of service life...

The cold cathode fluorescent lamp found in your LCD screen contains a very small amount of
mercury. Once your TV set has completed its physical life, please dispose of it in accordance
with local government regulations or leave it at a recycling centre.

1.3-Superior features of your integrated digital television

This television can receive and process all analog and digital broadcastings. This television
set has an integrated digital and analog receiver. The digital receiver unit processes the
signals coming from digital transmitters and can convert them into superior sound and image
qualities. TV Guide (valid for digital broadcastings only) informs you about changes in the
program list briefly and provides program lists of all digital broadcastings for a number of
forthcoming days. You can display detailed information about each program by pressing a
single button if this feature is supported by the broadcasting enterprise. This television has a
comprehensive and user friendly menu configuration.

1.4-Receiving digital broadcasting channels

You will need outdoor or indoor (passive or active indoor antennas used together with its own
power cord) antennas to receive digital broadcastings. Contrary to the analog broadcastings,
all digital broadcastings may not have their own transmission frequency. Instead, various
digital broadcasting channels are gathered in regional or national groups called bouquets.
You can find current transmission data from teletexts of various broadcasting enterprises or
from TV guide or from the internet.

1.5-General instructions for laser devices

Your system is a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT. This means that the laser has
been designed in a way that the highest emission value will not be exceeded
under any circumstances.

Caution:

In case of using operating devices or methods apart from the ones specified

herein, such situation may cause being exposed to dangerous emissions. The
device emits laser radiation. The unit may only be disassembled and serviced by adequately
trained personnel because of the risk of eye injury. If settings or OTHER PROCESSES that
are not stated herein are performed, such situation may cause being exposed to dangerous
radiation.

CAUTION - CLASS 1M VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN

OPEN. DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
