Important Safety Information

The Power Supply should be connected to a MAIN Socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO WATER OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Warning

Do not leave any stationary images, patterns, PIP windows, or letterbox images on the screen for an extended period of
time as this may result in permanent damage to the LCD panel. This type of damage is not covered under warranty. The
following are examples of, but not limited to, potentially hazardous display output: side bar images, video game patterns,
closed captioning, channel logos, and letterbox black bars. To prevent this type of damage, display constant moving
images that fill the screen as often as possible.
According to industrial standards for LCD display technology, there are a certain number of allowable defective pixels.
Although we produce panels with more than 99.9 percent active cells, there still may be some cells that do not produce
light or remain constantly lit. For further information, please contact your supplier.

Safety Precautions

Read and follow all instructions carefully.

1. Water and moisture: Do not use the product near water or areas of high moisture.

2. Cleaning: Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the product. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

3. Ventilation: The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and
openings as insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed,
sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product was not designed to operate in an enclosed
environment. Do not place the product in an enclosed space such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

4. Heat sources: Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products
(including amplifiers).

5. Stand: Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can cause the
product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Only use a cart, stand, tripod, and bracket or
table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Only use mounting hardware recommended by the dealer.

6. For added protection during a lightning storm or for extended periods of non-use, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna (if used). This will prevent damage to the product due to power line surges.

7. During the LCD panel lifespan it is normal for a few pixels to become defective. Non-active pixels may appear on the screen as
fixed points of red, blue or green. Refer pixel policy questions to your dealer for further clarification on acceptable loss.

4 Connecting External Devices

4.1 Understanding Video Connections

Your LCD TV is equipped with the latest technology for connecting video source devices such as DVD players, analogue
cable TV, digital set top boxes and gaming consoles. You can choose the appropriate connections depending on the
devices that you are connecting and the level of display quality you are trying to achieve.

Connector and Cable Description

Coaxial (RF) Analogue video and audio signals are transmitted via a single cable to

an F-type connector on the video source device.

Composite Video Composite video is the standard that connects almost all consumer video equipment

- TVs, laser disc players, VCRs, camcorders and gaming consoles. Composite video
combines the three basic elements of a video picture (colour, brightness, and
synchronization data) into a single combined (“composite”) signal.

Component Video Component video takes the advancement from composite (1-signal) to S-Video

(2-signals) a step further. It carries the Y, R-Y, and B-Y signals separately. Use
component video to take advantage of the superior picture provided by progressive
scan DVD sources.

SCART Video SCART is used for combined audio (usually in stereo) and video (VHS, S-VHS, and

RGB signals), making connections much simpler, by providing one plug that contains
all the necessary signals, and is standard across different manufacturers.
