IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Heat -- The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 2,073,600 pixels, giving you fine
picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point
of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.
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.
To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or 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.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or splashing.
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.
Do not insert foreign objects into the product. Inserting objects in the air vents or other openings may result in fire or electric shock. Exercise special
caution when using the product around children.
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.
Caring for the Cabinet
Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the cabinet.
Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main
unit cabinet or cause cracking.
Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the cabinet.
If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.
Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids. Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. Plasticizers inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to
peel off.
Caring for the Liquid Crystal panel
Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.). To protect the display panel, do not use a dirty cloth, liquid cleaners,
or a chemical cloth (weV dry sheet type cloth, etc.). This may damage __ ,_ _ _j

Over-the-air broadcasting via HD quality antenna
HD cable/satellite subscription
HD compatible external equipment
For information on updating to HD programming, ask your cable/satellite service provider.
Image quality differs depending on the terminal used. To enjoy clearer images, check the output
terminals of your external equipment and use its appropriate terminals for higher quality images.
For connecting the TV to external equipment, use commercially available cables.

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 "OO1" to "004" 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.
