IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

23) When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the owner's manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connections.

24) Reduce the volume to the minimum level before you turn on the product. Otherwise, sudden high volume sound may cause hearing or speaker damage.

25) Do not allow the product to output distorted sound for an extended period of time. It may cause speaker overheating and fire.

26) When you use the headphones, keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use the headphones continuously with high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.

27) Do not look into the opening of the disc slot or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of the laser beam. It may cause eye damage.

28) Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious personal injury and product malfunction.

29) This reminder is provided to call the cable TV 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.

30) The socket-outlet must be installed near the unit and easily accessible.

CONDENSATION

Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, player's performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually. Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the player.

HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL

Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur.

•

If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin inflammation. If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.

CHILD SAFETY: It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

THE ISSUE

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.

THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!

The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TUNE INTO SAFETY

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display. Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product. Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets. Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers. Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down. Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL). Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers. If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation. Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate to support the weight of the unit/ product and wall mount. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer. A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

52K0101A_eng.indd 452K0101A_eng.indd 4 3/12/09 3:10:42 PM3/12/09 3:10:42 PM

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The unit emits heat when in operation. Do not place any covers or blankets on the unit, this may cause overheating. Do not block ventilation holes, or set up near radiators. Do not place in direct sunshine. When placing on a shelf leave 10 cm (4 inches) free space around the entire unit.

10cm

Notes when mounting the LCD TV/DVD on a wall

If the unit is to be mounted on the wall, contact the retailer where you purchased the LCD TV/DVD for advice, and have the equipment professionally installed. Incomplete or improper installation may cause injury to you, and/or damage to the LCD TV/DVD.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD Panel for

long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD Panel on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:

•

Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.

•

Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on left and right sides of screen).

The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we disclaim any responsibility for these symptoms.

•

LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots.

This is not a sign of a malfunction.

•

Do not install the LCD Panel near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves. Some equipment placed too near this unit may cause interference.

•

Effect on infrared devices – There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.

Cable TV connections

This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV Converter box. Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” where the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the Cable TV company.

For subscribers to scrambled Cable TV service

If you subscribe to 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 Coaxial Cable, connect the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler box to the Antenna Jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

For subscribers to unscrambled Cable TV service with scrambled premium channels

If you subscribe to 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 TV company or an electronics supply store).
