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-fi lled containers on this product.
The water may spill onto the product
causing fi re 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.
• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is struck forcefully or with a sharp object. 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 amplifi ers).
• To prevent fi re, never place any type of candle or naked fl ames on the top or near the TV set.
• To prevent fi re or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items.
• Do not place heavy objects on this product or stand on it. Doing so could cause injury if the product overturns. Take special care near children and pets.
• When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven fl oor 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 insuffi cient 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 is a very high technology product with 3,147,264 thin fi lm transistors, giving you fi ne picture details. Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fi xed point of blue, green or red. This is within product specifi cations and does not constitute a fault.
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.
• Install the product on the place where the AC cord can be unplugged easily from the AC outlet, or from the AC INPUT terminal on the rear of the product.

Preparation

Inserting the batteries

Before using the TV for the fi rst time, insert two “AA” size batteries (supplied). When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AA” size batteries.
1 Open the battery cover.
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 fi nd 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.
2 Insert the two supplied “AA” size
batteries.
• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (e) and (f) indications in the battery compartment.
3 Close the battery cover.

Using the remote control unit

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

Cautions regarding the remote control unit

• Do not subject the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not soak the remote control unit with liquids or place it in
an area with high humidity.
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the TV is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote sensor window.

About Teletext

What is Teletext?
Teletext broadcasts pages of information and entertainment to specially equipped television sets. Your TV receives Teletext signals broadcast by a TV network, and decodes them into graphical format for viewing. News, weather reports, sports information, stock exchange prices and programme previews are among the many services available.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

The problems described below are not always caused by malfunctions. Check the TV again before having the TV serviced.
Problem
• 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.
Possible Solution
• Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 13.) If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press POWER.
• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 9.)
• Has the power been turned on? (See page 13.)
• External infl uences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after fi rst 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 12.)
• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)
• Are you using it under strong or fl uorescent lighting?
• Is a fl uorescent light shining on the remote control sensor?
• Is the image position correct? (See page 32.)
• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 27, 28 and 38.)
• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 30 to 32.)
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Check the colour system setting. (See pages 19 and 36.)
• Check the input signal setting. (See page 40.)
• Check the HDMI Auto View setting. (See page 34.)
• The unit's internal temperature has increased.
Remove any objects blocking the vent or clean.
• Check the power control setting. (See pages 25 and 26.)
• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 25.)
• Is the connection to external equipment correct? (See pages 10, 11, 34, 37 and 38.)
• Has the input signal setup been performed correctly after connection? (See page
40.)
• Is the correct input selected? (See page 35.)
• Is the picture adjustment correct? (See pages 30 to 32.)
• Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 9.)
• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 22.)
• No sound.
• The TV sometimes makes a cracking sound.
• Is the volume too low? (See page 17.)
• Make sure that headphones are not connected. (See page 7.)
• This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts according to changes 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, offi ce), 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: f20°C to e60°C.
