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 fl at panel displays are popular purchases. However, fl at 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 fi t all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe
• installation and use of your fl at 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 fl at 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” fl at 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 fl at 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:
Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your fl at 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 fl at “twin-lead” cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (Commercially available).
NOTICE
F-type connector should be fi nger-tightened only.
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.)

Closed Captions and Digital Closed Captions

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 fl exible 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 DTVCC.

Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed captions. Please look for the “1” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identifi ed by its own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program's picture.
In the Closed Caption system, the “T1 (TEXT1)” or “T2 (TEXT2)” 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.
The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected in its memory. If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/5 DTVCC) you selected is not available for the next program, or on another channel, the closed caption service that is available is automatically selected. Closed Caption services that appear in parentheses will not be stored in the CC button's memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are stored.
Examples:
In a case where there are two closed caption services provided (for instance, DTVCC and CC1), and DTVCC is displayed as your current selection, if DTVCC is not broadcast for the next program, the other closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution
• No power • Check if you pressed TV POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 14.) If the indicator on the TV does not light up, press POWER on the TV.
• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 7.)
• Has the power been turned on? (See page 14.)
• Unit cannot be operated. • External infl uences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper operation.
• Remote control unit does not
operate.
• Picture is cut off/with sidebar
screen.
• Strange color, light color, or color
misalignment
• Power is suddenly turned off. • Is the sleep timer set? (See page 15.)
• No picture • Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 12 and 13.)
• No sound • Is the volume too low? (See page 15.)
In this case, operate the unit after fi rst turning off the power of the TV or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.
• Is the FUNCTION set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position.
• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e,f) aligned? (See page 8.)
• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)
• Are you using it under strong or fl uorescent lighting?
• Is a fl uorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?
• Is the image position correct? (See page 25.)
• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See page 18.)
• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 21 and 22.)
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Check the input signal setting. (See page 24.)
• Check the power control settings. (See page 23.)
• The unit's internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.
• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 29.)
• Is the correct input selected? (See page 29.)
• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 21 and 22.)
• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 29.)
• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 42.)
• Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? (See page 29.)
• Have you pressed MUTE on the remote control unit? (See page 15.)
• The TV sometimes makes a cracking sound.
• This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the TV's performance.

Troubleshooting-Digital Broadcasting

The error message about reception of broadcast
The example of an error message
displayed on a screen
• Failed to receive broadcast. • Check the antenna cable. Check that the antenna is correctly setup.
• No broadcast now. • Check the broadcast time in the program guide.
Possible Solution
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 Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature: f4°F to e140°F (f20°C to e60°C)
