The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or

SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

ASA

and of the same rating
as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the
mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of
in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.

• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

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.

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.

Appendix

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 17.)

• 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.)

• Check the HDMI Setup setting. (See page 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 17.)

• No 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.)

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.

PC Control of the TV

When a program is set, the TV can be controlled from the PC
using the RS-232C terminal. The input signal (PC/video) can
be selected, the volume can be adjusted and various other
adjustments and settings can be made, enabling automatic
programmed playing. Attach an RS-232C cable cross-type
(commercially available) to a 9 pin D-sub/MINI-DIN (optional:
AN-A1RS) for the connections.

NOTE

• This operation system should be used by a person who is
accustomed to using PCs.

the TV’s communications conditions. The TV’s communications
settings are as follows:

• Baud rate: 9,600 bps

• Data length: 8 bits

• Parity bit: None

Communication procedure

Send the control commands from the PC via the RS-232C
