Important Safety Precautions

• Stand base must be attached to prevent the TV set from falling down and cause injuries.

• Cleaning — Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid
cleaners, aerosol cleaners or chemical cloth to clean it, as such materials may damage the product.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 1,049,088 (only for LC-32LE155X)/2,073,600 (only for LC-39LE155X) pixels, 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.

• Precautions when transporting the TV

When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always carry the TV by two

people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.

• 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.

• If a television is not positioned in a suffi ciently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children,
can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the television.

• Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to a

suitable support.

• Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

The problems described below are not always caused by malfunctions. Check the TV again before having the TV serviced.

Problem Possible Solution

• No power. • Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 7.)

• Unit cannot be operated. • External infl uences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper

• Remote control unit does not
operate.

• Picture is cut off. • Is the image position correct? (See page 15)

• Strange colour, light colour, or
dark, or colour misalignment.

• Power is suddenly turned off. • The unit’s internal temperature has increased.

• No picture. • Is the connection to external equipment correct? (See pages 4 to 5.)

• No sound. • Is the volume too low? (See page 6.)

• The TV sometimes makes a
cracking sound.

If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press POWER.

• Is the AC cord disconnected?

• Has the power been turned on? (See page 7.)

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.

• Is battery inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 6.)

• Is battery worn out? (Replace with new battery.)

• Are you using it under strong or fl uorescent lighting?

• Is a fl uorescent light shining on the remote control sensor?

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly?
(See pages 11 and 15.)

• Adjust the picture tone. (See page 10.)

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

• Check the colour system setting. (See pages 9, 14.)

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 14.)

• Check the HDMI auto view setting. (See page 12.)

Remove any objects blocking the vent or clean.

• Check the ECO setting. (See page 11.)

• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 6.)

• Has the input signal setup been performed correctly after connection? (See page 14.)

• Is the correct input selected?

• Is the “Picture adjust” correct? (See page 10.)

• Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 4.)

• Is “On” selected in “Audio only”? (See page 14.)

• Make sure that headphones are not connected.

• 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.
