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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 heat­generating products (including amplifiers).

• 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 cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

• There is power consumption always if main plug is connected.

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

The LCD panel is a very high technology product, 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 moving the TV, it should always be carried by two people, using both hands, be careful not to apply
pressure to the display.

Quick guide

Inserting the batteries

Before using the TV for the first time, insert two “AA” size batteries (supplied). When the batteries become
depleted and the remote control unit fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AA” size batteries.

1 Hold in the tab on the battery cover and pull the

cover towards the direction of the arrow.

2 Insert two supplied “AA” size batteries.

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding

to the (e) and (f) indications in the battery
compartment.

3 Insert the smaller tab of the battery cover into the

opening (1), and press down on the cover until
it clicks in place (2).

CAUTION

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical
leakage in old batteries.

• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any
chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

• If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.

Using the remote control unit

Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor. Objects between the remote
control unit and sensor may prevent proper operation.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution

• No power.

• Unit cannot be operated.

• Remote control unit does not
operate.

• Picture is cut off.

• Strange colour, light colour, or
dark, or colour misalignment.

• Power is suddenly turned off.

• No picture.

• Check if you pressed B on the remote control unit. (See page 7.)
If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press B.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 3.)

• Check if you pressed a on the TV. (See page 7.)

• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper
operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the power off, 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 4.)

• 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 16.)

• Are screen mode adjustments (4:3 Mode/WSS) such as picture size made
correctly? (See pages 17 and 19.)

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 12 and 13.)

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

• Check the colour system setting. (See pages 15 and 18.)

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

• Check the power control setting. (See page 14.)

• Is sleep timer set? Press SLEEP on the remote control unit until it sets to Off.

• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 8 and 9.)

• Is input signal type selected correctly after connection? (See page 18.)

• Is the correct input source selected? (See page 8.)

• Is non-compatible signal being input? (See page 23.)

• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 12 and 13.)

• Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 3.)

• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 18.)

• No sound.

• The TV sometimes makes a
cracking sound.

• Is the volume too low? (See pages 5 and 6.)

• Make sure that headphones are not connected. (See page 6.)

• Check if you pressed e on the remote control unit. (See page 5.)

• This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and
contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the TV’s
performance.

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 e60°C.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON RESETTING THE PIN

We suggest that you remove the following instruction from the operation manual to prevent children from
reading it. As this operation manual is multilingual, we also suggest the same with each language. Keep it in
a safe space for future reference.

1 Repeat steps 1 to 3 in Changing the PIN. (See page 16.)
2 Enter “3001” to cancel out the current PIN.
