IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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
fiat 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. Some wall mounts are not
designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction, tf you are unsure,
contact a professional installer.

• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

Introduction to Connections

I_.I-._lI:_J_:l_T_ I-'1,]_ :_-_

An HDTV without an HD source is just an ordinary TV.
To enjoy HD images on the TV, you should get HD programming from the following:

• Over-the-air broadcasting via HD quality antenna

• HD cable/satellite subscription

• HD compatible external equipment

° For information on updating to HD programming, ask your cable/satellite service provider.

Image quality differs depending on the terminal used. To enjoy clearer images, check the
output terminals of your external equipment and use its appropriate terminals for higher
quality images.

For connecting the TV to external equipment, use commercially available cables.
* The illustrations of the terminals are for explanation purposes and may vary slightly from the actual

products.

English ratings or the Canadian French ratings.
