Owner’s Instructions

Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.

• Do not display a still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention.

This image retention is also known as "screen burn". To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.

• Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen

• Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.

To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.

Précautions à prendre lors de l'affichage d'une image fixe

Une image fixe peut causer des dommages irrémédiables à l'écran du téléviseur.

• N'affichez pas une image fixe sur l'écran LCD plus de 2 heures. Cela pourrait provoquer une rémanence de l'image à l'écran.

Cette rémanence de l'image est également appelée "brûlure de l'écran". Pour éviter une telle rémanence de l'image à l'écran, réduisez la luminosité et le contraste de l'écran lorsque vous laissez une image fixe affichée.

• Regarder l'écran LCD du téléviseur en format 4:3 pendant une longue période peut laisser des traces de bordures à gauche,

• L'affichage d'images fixes de jeux vidéo et d'ordinateurs pendant plus longtemps qu'une période spécifique peut provoquer des rémanences.

Pour éviter cela, réduisez la "luminosité" et le "contraste" lors de l'affichage d'images fixes.

Precauciones al mostrar en la pantalla una imagen fija

La imagen fija puede causar daños permanentes en la pantalla del televisor.

• No deje una imagen fija en la pantalla LCD durante más de dos horas ya que se podría producir una retención de la imagen en la pantalla. Este fenómeno de

retención de imágenes también se denomina "quemadura de pantalla". Para evitar que se produzca esa persistencia de la imagen, reduzca el nivel de luminosidad y de contraste de la pantalla cuando muestre imágenes fijas.

• El uso del televisor LCD en formato 4:3 durante un tiempo prolongado puede dejar rastros de bordes en las partes izquierda,

• Ver imágenes fijas de videojuegos y PC durante más tiempo del indicado puede producir restos de imágenes parciales.

Para evitar este efecto, reduzca el 'brillo' y el 'contraste' cuando vea imágenes fijas.

caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen. Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

à droite et au centre de l'écran, à cause de la différence d'émission de lumière sur l'écran. La lecture d'un DVD ou l'utilisation d'une console de jeu peut avoir un effet similaire sur l'écran. Les dommages provoqués par les effets qui précèdent ne sont pas couverts par la garantie.

derecha y central de la pantalla debido a las diferencias en la emisión lumínica de la pantalla. La reproducción de un DVD o el uso de una consola de videojuegos pueden provocar un efecto similar en la pantalla. Reproducir un DVD o una videoconsola puede causar un efecto similar en la pantalla. La garantía no cubre estos daños.

What is HDMI?

• HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable without compression.

• “Multimedia interface” is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels). The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi-channel digital audio.

Each DVD player/STB has a different back panel configuration. We recommend the use of cables with a Ferrite Core.

Memorizing Channels

Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna) and cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CH and CH buttons to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the channel digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and deleting channels (channel manager).

Selecting the Video Signal Source

Before your television can begin memorizing the available channels, you must specify the type of signal source that is connected to the TV (i.e., an antenna or cable system).

Press the MENU button. Press the or button to select “Channel”,

then press the ENTER button.

When you press the CH or CH button, the TV changes channels in sequence. You will see all the channels that the TV has memorized. (The TV must have memorized at least three channels.) You will not see channels that were either erased or not memorized.

Using the Number Buttons

Use the number buttons to quickly switch to any channel.

Press the number buttons to go directly to a channel. For example, to select channel 27, press “2,” then “7.” The TV will change channels when you press the second number.

Using the “-” Button

The “-” button is used to select stations that broadcast both a digital and analog signal.

For example, for channel 7-1 (digital), press “7”, then “-”, then “1”.

HD indicates the TV is receiving a Digital High Definition signal. SD indicates the TV is receiving a Analog standard definition signal.

Using the Previous Channel

The TV changes to the last channel you were watching.
