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 LCD product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

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

2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.

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

4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.

5. Cleaning—Unplug the power 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.

6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can result in accidents.

7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.

8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base 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.

9. 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.

10. 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. 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.

11. Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects from resting on them.

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 re-

quires 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.

17.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.

18.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.

19.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.

20.Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).

Note

Adjustments to the On-Screen Display

• The screen size is slightly different when receiving 1080i signals and other type of signals.

• When the AUTO setting is “ON”, the picture may become larger and smaller, but this is only because the AUTO

setting is automatically selecting the most appropriate image for the incoming video signal and does not indicate a malfunction. If it is disturbing, please set the AUTO setting to “OFF” and select the appropriate picture size.

• Depending on the picture you are watching the time it takes for the selection to take place may differ.

• For wide picture signals (cinema size, etc.), black bands at the top and bottom of the screen may remain.

• When watching special playback functions (video search, slow playback, etc.) on the VCR, the AUTO setting may

stop operating.

• This unit is equipped with functions, which select appropriate picture mode for all types. Note that if a size mode is selected that differs from the video display ratio of the software, the view will be different from the original picture.

• When watching a 4:3 format (SIDE BAR) picture adjusted to a full size using the VIEW mode, the peripheral picture may be invisible or partly deformed. In order to watch the original picture as intended by the copyright holder; please watch using the SIDE BAR mode.

• Depending on the signal received or the movie software, correct operation cannot be obtained with the AUTO setting. In this case, after setting the AUTO setting of the VIEW mode to “OFF”, select the appropriate picture size.

• When displaying with the CINEMA mode during the PC mode, the picture will be shown with the top and bottom of the parts cut off.

• When displaying a wide movie from the DVD with the PC mode, use the CINEMA mode.

• Depending on the type of commercial software, parts of subtitles, etc. may disappear. In this case, please select an

appropriate picture mode using the VIEW mode and adjust the vertical position using position adjustment. Noise and bending of the picture may occur at the top or the edges of the picture but this does not indicate a malfunction.

• Depending on the picture displayed, the display position may not change even though the value of the adjustment changes.
