Important Safety Precautions

• Cleaning—Unplug the AC 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.

• Stand—Do not place the product
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod
or table. Doing so can cause the
product to fall, resulting in serious
personal injuries as well as
damage to the product. Use only
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or
table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the
product. When mounting the
product on a wall, be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Use only the
mounting hardware recommended
by the manufacturer.

• When relocating the product
placed on a cart, it must be
moved with utmost care. Sudden
stops, excessive force and
uneven floor surface can cause
the product to fall from the cart.

• Water and moisture—Do not use
the product near water, such as
bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, swimming pool and in
a wet basement.

• Ventilation—The vents and other
openings in the cabinet are
designed for ventilation. Do not
cover or block these vents and
openings since 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
is not designed for built-in
installation; do not place the
product in an enclosed place
such as a bookcase or rack,
unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions are followed.

• The LCD panel used in this
product is made of glass.
Therefore, it can break when the
product is dropped or impact
applied. If the LCD panel is
broken be careful not to be injured
by broken glass.

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

• Do not place vases or any other
water-filled containers on this
product.
The water may spill onto the
product causing fire or electric
shock.

• To prevent fire, never place any
type of candle or naked flames on
the top or near the TV set.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard,
do not place the AC power cord
under the TV set or other heavy
items.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product
with 3,147,264 thin film transistors, giving you fine
picture details.
Due to the very large number of pixels,
occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear
on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or
red.
This is within product specifications and does not
constitute a fault.

Precautions when
transporting the TV

When transporting the TV, never
carry it by holding onto the
speakers. Be sure to always
carry the TV by two people
holding it with two hands—one
hand on each side of the TV.

Precautions when playing back PC image data on the LCD TV

Recording formats of image data:

When recording image data on the LCD TV, the recording formats are as follows.

• When recording motion pictures: The SD_VIDEO folder is created and the data is stored in. When playing the card,
the SD_VIDEO recording format is recognised.

• When recording still pictures: The DCIM folder is created and the data is stored in. When playing the card, the

DCIM recording format is recognised.

When playing the card, record PC data in a recording format the LCD TV can recognise.

1. When copying motion pictures from a PC to a card recorded with the LCD TV, only play these pictures after placing

them in the SD_VIDEO folder.

2. When copying still pictures from a PC to a card recorded with the LCD TV, only play these pictures after placing

them in the DCIM folder.

3. When using a new card for copying motion pictures, first format the card and create an SD_VIDEO folder before

placing the data in the folder for playback.

4. When using a new card for copying still pictures, first format the card and create a DCIM folder before placing the

data in the folder for playback.

When creating, revising, or copying images using your PC, the edited images may not playback correctly.

Problem Possible Solution

• Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 14.)
If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press POWER.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 6.)

• Has the power been turned on? (See page 14.)

operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the power off the TV or
unplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 9.)

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)

• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?

• Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor?

• Is the image position correct? (See page 46.)

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages
49 to 52.)

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 26 to 28 and 52.)

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

• Check the colour system setting. (See pages 22 and 48.)

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 47.)

• The unit’s internal temperature has increased.
Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.

• Check the power control setting. (See page 30.)

• Is sleep timer set? (See page 54.)

• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 42 to 44)

• Has input signal setup been done correctly after connection? (See page 47.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 47.)

• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 62.)

• Is “Variable” selected in “Audio Out”? (See page 54.)

• Is the speaker connected properly?

• Is “On” selected in “Centre Channel Input”? (See page 56.)

• Make sure that headphones are not connected. (See page 11.)

Troubleshooting

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear
slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight
or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C (–4°F to +140°F).
