provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of
the grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused
for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such
power lines or circuits.

Aspect Ratio Explained

The TV is a widescreen TV, but most TV programs are still broadcasting in a square format, therefore the
TV is offering multiple ways of viewing videos. There are mainly two types of signal format, Full (16:9
format), Normal (4:3 format), while others offer a novelty ways to view the TV. Simply use the ASPECT
button on the TV’s remote control to cycle between the multiple modes.

1. FULL

This mode will stretch the picture to a widescreen ratio. If you have a perfect 16:9 ratio picture you will
not see any black bars. If you are watching a widescreen movie in 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 ratio, you will still
get black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. If you use this mode on 4:3 pictures they will be
stretched and distorted horizontally.

2. NORMAL

Most analog TV channels have 4:3 signal formats. If the original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is
preserved, black bars are added to the left and right of the display image. This aspect keeps that
aspect ratio and shows you the black bars on the side.

3. Zoom

When watching a 4:3 aspect ratio TV or movie, this mode zooms in to cut off most of the black bars on
the side while preserving the 16:9 ratio. Because of the zoom, the top and bottom are cut off as well.

4. WATERGLASS (panorama)

When watching a 4:3 aspect ratio TV or movie, there will be black bars on the side, you can remove
this by using 16:9 aspect but the entire picture will be distorted horizontally. This mode will only distort
the two sides of the TV (where the black bars used to be) but in the center the picture will still be
proportional. This mode will fill the entire screen but most of your picture will be proportional. Please
Note : When in HD mode aspect ratios will not work because it is controlled by the signal.

up the screen. Please Note : This note this feature will distort the

picture.

PICTURE QUALITY IS
HORRIBLE!!

For best image quality, view HD widescreen programs where

possible. If HD content is not available view “Standard Definition”

from a digital source. Standard, analog TV will always be noticeable

inferior to HD because your TV has video that is many times better

than old TV’s and so you can see interference and deficiencies you

did not KNOW you had.
PICTURE HAS
PIXELS THAT ARE
ALWAYS DISPLAYING
THE SAME COLOR

Your TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision

technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your TV may not

display. Pixels defects within industry specifications are inherent to

this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.
I CANNOT CHANGE
THE TIME MANUALLY

Your TV syncs time automatically according to your local TV

channel. This function only works while the TV’s tuner is connected

to an ANTENNA.

Problems Solutions

SWITCHING A
CHANNEL OR
SOURCE CHANGES
THE VOLUME

Different channels and inputs will sometimes have this effect
because the channel signal’s own volume is already loud.
There is no way remove this completely. The TV has an
AUTO VOLUME LEVEL function that can combat this type of

effect. Please make sure that function is turned on.
THERE IS NOISE OR
TRASH PIXELS ON
THE SCREEN

When your TV’s resolution is higher than the digital channel’s

broadcast resolution, the signal is up-converted to match your

TV’s resolution. Up-converting can cause this type of effect.
TIPS FOR HIGH
DEFINITION USERS

The TV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition

Content. The best image quality can be achieved by HDMI,

YPbPr (Component), then VGA. However, due to variances in

broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions can

occur.
TIPS FOR
LETTERBOX
CONTENT USERS

Letterboxed (Widescreen) versions of DVD movies are most

commonly formatted for standard 4:3 TVs. The TV has the

capability of expanding this content so the entire screen is

filled at the expense of the image proportion. To use this

function press the aspect button on the remote control and

cycle among the available options.
I CANNOT FIND THE
VOLUME AND
CHANNEL
CHANGING
BUTTONS

The buttons are represented by the ŸźŻŹ buttons located

on the remote control. Ÿź changes the channels and ŻŹ

changes the volume.

TV TURNS OFF
AUTOMATICALLY
AFTER 10 MINUTES

The TV features a power saving mode which will automatically

turn off the TV, if there’s no signal provided for more than 10

minutes.
