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 (wet/ dry sheet type cloth, etc.). This may damage
the surface of the display panel. Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface
of the display panel. Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the display panel when it is really
dirty. (It may scratch the surface of the display panel when wiped
strongly.) If the display panel is dusty, use an anti-static brush, which is commercially available, to clean it. To avoid scratching the frame or screen, please use a soft, lint free cloth for cleaning. Approved

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:
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 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.

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.
A 75-ohm system is generally a round 1. cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (Commercially available).
A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” 2.
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.)

Experiencing HD Images
An HDTV without an HD source is just an ordinary TV. To enjoy HD images on the TV, you should get HD programming from the following:
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.
Types of Connection
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.
The illustrations of the terminals are for explanation purposes and may vary slightly from the actual products.
