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-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.

• 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.

• 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 is a very high technology product with 2,073,600 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.

Preparation

Inserting the batteries

Before using the TV for the ﬁ rst time, insert two “AAA” size batteries (supplied). When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AAA” size batteries.

1 Open the battery cover.

CAUTION

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage in old batteries.

• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you ﬁ nd any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

• If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.

2 Insert the two supplied “AAA” size

batteries.

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (e) and (f) indications in the battery compartment.

3 Close the battery cover.

Using the remote control unit

Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote sensor window. Objects between the remote control unit and sensor window may prevent proper operation.

Remote control sensor

Cautions regarding the remote control unit

• Do not subject the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not soak the remote control unit with liquids or place it

in an area with high humidity.

• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.

• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the TV is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote sensor window.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

Problem

• 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.

• No sound.

• The TV sometimes makes a cracking sound.

Possible Solution

• Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 14.) If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press POWER.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 10.)

• Has the power been turned on? (See page 14.)

• External inﬂ uences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper 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.

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 13.)

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)

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

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

• Is the image position correct? (See page 35.)

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 30, 31 and 57.)

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 33 to 35.)

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

• Check the colour system setting. (See pages 21 and 50.)

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 59.)

• Check the HDMI Setup setting. (See page 48.)

• The unit's internal temperature has increased.

Remove any objects blocking the vent or clean.

• Check the power control setting. (See pages 28 and 29.)

• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 28.)

• Is the connection to external equipment correct? (See pages 11, 12, 48, 56 and 57.)

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

59.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 49.)

• Is the picture adjustment correct? (See pages 33 to 35.)

• Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 10.)

• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 25.)

• Is the volume too low? (See page 19.)

• Make sure that headphones are not connected. (See page 8.)

• 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.

Troubleshooting (D-TV)

Problem

• No picture or no sound.

• Block noise appears on the screen.

• D-TV broadcasts cannot be received.

• A speciﬁ c channel cannot be received.

• Is the correct input source selected? (See page 49.)

• Is the antenna pointing in the correct direction?

• Check the Signal Level and Quality. (See page 43.)

• Are physical objects blocking the antenna?

• Is the antenna or antenna cable compatible with D-TV broadcasts?

• Is the D-TV antenna set up properly?

• Is the antenna cable connected properly? (See page 10.)

• Are the channel settings correct? (See pages 43 and 44.)

• Check the Signal Level and Quality. (See page 43.)

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.
