IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY PRECAUTION
Ë
Service work should be performed only by qualified service technicians who are thoroughly familiar with all safety checks and the servicing guidelines which follow:
WARNING
1. For continued safety, no modification of any circuit
should be attempted.
2. Disconnect AC power before servicing.

BEFORE RETURNING THE RECEIVER
(Fire & Shock Hazard)
Before returning the receiver to the user, perform
the following safety checks:
1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are
not pinched, and check that hardware is not lodged
between the chassis and other metal parts in the
receiver.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic
control knobs, insulation materials, cabinet backs,
adjustment and compartment covers or shields, isolation
resistor-capacitor networks, mechanical insulators, etc.
3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for
leakage current in the following manner .
• Plug the AC cord directly into a 110~240 volt AC outlet,
and connect the DC power cable into the receiver's DC
jack. (Do not use an isolation transformer for this test).
• Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, 10 watt
resistor paralleled by a 0.15µF capacitor in series with
all exposed metal cabinet parts and a known earth
ground, such as electrical conduit or electrical ground
connected to an earth ground.
• Use an AC voltmeter having with 5000 ohm per volt, or
higher, sensitivity or measure the AC voltage drop
across the resistor.
• Connect the resistor connection to all exposed metal
parts having a return to the chassis (antenna, metal
cabinet, screw heads, knobs and control shafts,
escutcheon, etc.) and measure the AC voltage drop
across the resistor.
All checks must be repeated with the AC cord plug
connection reversed. (If necessary, a nonpolarized
adaptor plug must be used only for the purpose of
completing these checks.)
Any reading of 0.75V peak (this corresponds to 0.5 mA.
peak AC.) or more is excessive and indicates a potential
shock hazard which must be corrected before returning
the monitor to the owner.
Many electrical and mechanical parts in LCD television
have special safety-related characteristics.
These characteristics are often not evident from visual
inspection, nor can protection afforded by them be
necessarily increased by using replacement components
rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.
Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this manual; electrical
and shaded areas in the
Schematic Diagrams
For continued protection, replacement parts must be
identical to those used in the original circuit.
The use of a substitute replacement parts which do not
have the same safety characteristics as the factory
recommended replacement parts shown in this service
manual, may create shock, fire or other hazards.

Precautions for using lead-free solder
1 Employing lead-free solder
"All PWBs" of this model employs lead-free solder. The LF symbol indicates lead-free solder, and is attached on
the PWBs and service manuals. The alphabetical character following LF shows the type of lead-free solder.
Example:
L Fa
Indicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and copper.
2 Using lead-free wire solder
When fixing the PWB soldered with the lead-free solder, apply lead-free wire solder. Repairing with conventional
lead wire solder may cause damage or accident due to cracks.
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is higher than the lead wire solder by 40°C, we recommend
you to use a dedicated soldering bit, if you are not familiar with how to obtain lead-free wire solder or soldering bit,
contact our service station or service branch in your area.
3 Soldering
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is about 220°C which is higher than the conventional lead
solder by 40°C, and as it has poor solder wettability, you may be apt to keep the soldering bit in contact with the
PWB for extended period of time. However, Since the land may be peeled off or the maximum heat-resistance
temperature of parts may be exceeded, remove the bit from the PWB as soon as you confirm the steady soldering
condition.
Lead-free solder contains more tin, and the end of the soldering bit may be easily corroded. Make sure to turn on
and off the power of the bit as required.
If a different type of solder stays on the tip of the soldering bit, it is alloyed with lead-free solder . Clean the bit after
every use of it.
When the tip of the soldering bit is blackened during use, file it with steel wool or fine sandpaper.
Be careful when replacing parts with polarity indication on the PWB silk.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install the two "AAA" size batteries supplied in the remote control. When the
batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new "AAA" size batteries.
1
Open the battery cover.
2
Insert two "AAA" size batteries.
3
Close the battery cover.
Ë Place batteries with their
terminals corresponding
to the (+) and (–)
indications in the battery
compartment.
Caution!
Precautions regarding batteries
Ë Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.
• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old
batteries to leak chemicals.
• Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical
leakage is found, wipe it off with a cloth.
• The batteries supplied with the LCD TV set may have a shorter operating time due to storage conditions.
• If the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.
Preparation
Ë Engaging the lower
claw with the remote
control, close the
cover.
Using the Remote Control
Ë Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor
window of the main unit. Objects between the remote control and
sensor window may prevent proper operation.
Cautions regarding use of the remote control
Ë Do not apply shock to the remote control. In addition, do not
expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place it in an area
with high humidity.
Ë Do not install or place the remote control in direct sunlight. The
heat may cause deformation of the unit.
Ë The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor
window is in direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a case,
change the angle of the lighting or main unit, or operate the
remote control closer to the remote sensor window.
Ë Slide the cover while
pressing the (
) part.
