improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. However,
improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following
instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of
your Liquid Crystal Television, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

• Read instructions —All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.

• Keep this manual in a safe place —These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for

future reference.

• Observe warnings —All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

• Follow instructions —All operating instructions must be followed.

• Attachments —Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments

can result in accidents.

• Power source —This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For units
designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the operating instructions.

flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same
reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

• Servicing —Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage
and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

• Repair —If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a
qualified service person to perform repairs.
a.When the AC cord or plug is damaged.
b.When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d.When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of
controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work

by a qualified technician.
e.When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the

product needs servicing.

• Replacement parts —In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the
original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

• Safety checks —Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety
checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

• Wall or ceiling mounting —When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product
according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.

• Polarization —The product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before installing the speakers.

• For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due
to lightning and power-line surges.

• An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.

Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode

The System has a feature that allows reception of sound other than the main audio for the program. This feature
is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The System with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound
and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature allows a TV station to broadcast other information,
which could be audio in another language or something completely different like weather information.

You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP broadcasts where available.

• Stereo broadcasts

View programs like live sporting events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.

• SAP broadcasts

Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound.
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in mono or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary commentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.)

If stereo sound is difficult to hear.

• Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to fixed mono-sound mode.

A

• Once “MONO” mode is selected, the sound remains mono even if the System receives a stereo broadcast. You must
switch the mode back to “STEREO” if you want to hear stereo sound again.

• Selecting MTS while in the input mode does not change the type of sound. In this case, sound is determined by the video
source.

Each time you press MTS, MTS toggles as shown
below.
