and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects

operating instructions.
16) Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17) Object and Liquid Entry—Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
18) Damage Requiring Service—Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
a) When the AC cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
19) Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
20) Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
21) Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
• 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.
• Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.
• 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 builtin 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 Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the
product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in
case the panel breaks.
• Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifi ers) that produce heat.
• The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 6,220,800 thin fi lm transistors, giving you fi ne picture details.
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fi xed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this
does not affect the performance of your product.
Precautions when transporting the TV
• Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on
each side of the TV.
• Lightning — For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and
power-line surges.
• Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines
or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Preparation
Using the remote control unit
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on the
TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor may
prevent proper operation.
Cautions regarding the remote control unit
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote
control unit to liquids, and do not place 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 remote control unit.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on the TV is
under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or
the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.
Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal
without tools (Commercially available).
F-type connector
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
2. A 300-ohm system is a fl at “twin-lead” cable that can be
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm
adapter (Commercially available).
