Important Safety Cautions
When relocating the product placed on a trolley, it must be moved with the utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surfaces can cause the product to fall from the trolley.
The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product. Power­supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or snagged by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at doors, plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. If the power cord or the plug is damaged contact a qualified service department for service.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
High Voltage exists in this TV set. Do not remove the cover. In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other objects. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks.
Don't try to push anything into the cabinet or place any vessel with water on the TV set.
For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

Important Safety Cautions
Important Information Regarding use of Video Games, Computer, captions or other fixed images displays
The extended use of a fixed image program material can cause permanent “Shadow Image” on the LCD panel. This image is visible during normal programs as stationary fixed images. This type of irreversible LCD panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
* Reduce the Brightness and Contrast settings to a minimum viewing level * DO NOT display the fixed image for extended periods of time * Turn the power OFF when not in actual use

Installation
Cable (CATV)/satellite connections
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some Cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the rear of the TV.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE
If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/ descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 Ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 Ohm cable, connect the output of the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV/VCR to the output channel of the converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler or satellite box to select channels.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE
WITH SCRAMBLED PREMIUM CHANNELS
If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the cable company or an electronic supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
