IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CHILD SAFETY

It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

THE ISSUE

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger • flat panel displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the

manufacturer’s recommendations.

Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, • shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.

THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!

The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home • entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TUNE INTO SAFETY

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for •

the safe installation and use of your flat panel display. Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this •

product.

Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, •

such as a chest of drawers. Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, •

especially on a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken

to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat• panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer •

about professional installation. Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not •

designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.

A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.•

Preparation

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).

2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable

that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (Commercially available).

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type connector with tools. If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)

sporting events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.

• SAP broadcasts: Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound. MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack

(either in mono or stereo). SAP sound: Listen to a second language, supplementary commentary or other information. (SAP is mono sound.)

Closed Captions (CC)

Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed Captions are available on some TV programs and on some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the program provider. Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the discretion of the service provider). It

is a more ﬂexible system than the original

Closed Caption system, because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French) or other language codes. Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed captions. In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each

is identiﬁed by its own number. The “CC1” to “CC4” services display subtitles of TV programs

superimposed over the program's picture. In the Closed Caption system, the “TEXT1” to

“TEXT4” services display text that is unrelated

to the program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed.
