CHILD SAFETY
PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS
THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CARES
•
Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer electronics industry are
committed to making home entertainment safe and enjoyable.
•
As you enjoy your television, please note that all televisions - new and old- must be
supported on proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases,
shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.
TUNE IN TO SAFETY
•
ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation of your
television.
•
ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use of your television.
•
NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the television or the furniture on which the
television is placed.
•
NEVER place the television on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest
of drawers.
•
ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked down.
•
ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the television so that they cannot be
tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION
•
ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional installation if you have any doubts
about your ability to safely mount your television.
•
ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by the television manufacturer and
has a safety certification by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
•
ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the television and mount manufacturers.
•
ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the television is
appropriate. Some mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and ceilings with
steel studs or cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional
installer.
•
Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling
mount installation.
MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR
HOME
•
Many new television buyers move their older CRT televisions into a secondary room
after the purchase of a flat-panel television. Special care should be made in the
placement of older CRT televisions.
•
ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate for
its size and weight.
•
NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser where children may be tempted to
use the drawers to climb.
•
ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does not hang over the edge of your
furniture.

Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
This symbol indicates that
dangerous voltage
constituting a risk of electric
shock is present within your TV.
This label is located on the
back of your TV.
This symbol indicates that
there are important operating
and maintenance instructions
in the literature accompanying
your TV.
This symbol indicates that this
product incorporates double
insulation between the
hazardous main voltage and
user accessible parts. When
servicing, use only identical
replacement parts.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must
remain readily operable.
16 Remote control batteries should not be exposed to
excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.
17 The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or
splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
should be placed on the apparatus.
18 Your TV has four VESA mounting holes on the back. If you
attach a wall-mount bracket or TV stand to the back of your
TV, the bracket or stand must be securely attached
using all four holes. If you do not use all four mounting
holes, your TV may fall and cause property damage or
personal injury. See the documentation that came with
your wall mount or TV stand for complete mounting
instructions.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any
cover or expose the device to rain or moisture. No
user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service technicians.
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.
6 Clean only with dry cloth.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
Lightning
For added protection for your device receiver during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and
disconnect any antenna or cable system. This helps prevent
property damage and personal injury from 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, take extreme care
to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact
with them might be fatal.
Handling the LCD panel
• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or
hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD panel. If the screen
breaks, be careful of broken glass.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do
not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin
inflammation.
• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle, rinse,
and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your
eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after
rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.

LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, make sure that the
service technician uses replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, personal injury, or other hazards.
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this device, ask the
service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that your TV is in correct operating condition.
Power source
Operate your TV only from the type of power source indicated
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supplied to your home, consult an electrician or your local
power company.
Servicing
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service
personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
perform any servicing other than that contained in the
operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
CAUTION
Damage requiring service
Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV.
• If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.
• If your TV does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls covered
by the operating instructions because incorrect adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
your TV to its normal operation.
• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV,
make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to correct
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

Note to CATV system installer
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40
provides guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states
that the cable ground must be connected to the grounding
system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.
Condensation
Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought from cool
surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the
room rises suddenly. When this happens, the TV's performance
may be impaired. To prevent this, let the TV stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make
sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the TV is
exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases,
change the location of the TV.
Mobile telephone warning
To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound,
operating problems, or even damage, keep your cordless and
cellular telephones away from the TV.
End of life directives
Your TV may contain materials that are regulated for
environmental reasons. Your TV also contains materials that
can be recycled and reused. To help protect the environment,
contact your local authorities for information about disposal or
recycling and about finding a recycler in your area before you
dispose of your TV.
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors,
which provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally,
a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed
blue, green, or red point. These non-active pixels do not
adversely affect the performance of your TV, and are not
considered defects.

The new standard in Smart TVs
Welcome to TV like you've most likely never seen before—a home screen that you can personalize with your favorite
devices and streaming channels. Choose from hundreds of thousands of streaming movies and TV episodes, plus music,
sports, kids, family, international and much more. You should never run out of things to watch.

A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels.
Channel availability is subject to change and varies by country. Not all
content is available in countries or regions where Roku products are sold.
Get the most out of your new TV
Follow these simple steps to get the most out of your new TV.
1 Connect to the Internet
• It's simple, it's easy, and it will unlock a world of entertainment. All you need is a wireless network. There are hundreds
of free streaming channels, subscriptions services like Netflix and Spotify, convenient ways to rent or buy a favorite film
or show with Google Play and Cineplex and more.

a broad selection of music streaming channels, popular programming in a dozen international languages, 24x7 live
news and so much more, your new TV has your sweet spot. A paid subscription or other payments may be required for
some channels.
3 Personalize your home screen
• Put your favorite broadcast TV, streaming channels, gaming console and other devices front-and-center on the home
screen. No more flipping through inputs or wading through complicated menus. You can even personalize the names
of each input and move tiles around so your most-often used devices and streaming channels are only a click away.
4 Search for your favorite movie, TV show, actor, or director
• Once you’re connected to the internet, you can easily search across top streaming channels by movie or TV show title,
actor or director—all from one place. Search results are organized by price so you can always see the best priced
option. A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels.
5 Send your personal media to the big screen
• Send personal photos, videos, and music from your compatible smartphone or tablet to the TV screen in just a few
taps. Plus, with Netflix and YouTube apps, send movies, shows, sport highlights, and more directly to your TV.

dorms, where you may have to agree to terms, enter codes, or provide identifying information.
Note
Using your Roku TV on a restricted public network requires wireless
availability and use of your network-connected smartphone, tablet, or
computer to authenticate access to your account. Your TV must already be
linked to your Roku account and activated. Also, you must use your Roku TV
remote control, because the Remote feature of the Roku mobile app does
not work on restricted public networks. Streaming content might be limited
due to your geographic location or because of restrictions imposed by the
wireless network host.
Many features work with top mobile devices. Please see http://support.roku.com for device compatibility information.

Notes
• Use a coaxial cable to eliminate interference and noise from radio
waves.
• Do not bundle the coaxial cable with the power cord or other cables.
• If the antenna is not installed correctly, contact qualified service
personnel to correct the problem.
• If the signal level for a channel is weak, the picture may be distorted.
Adjust the antenna or use a highly directional outdoor or set-top
antenna with a built-in amplifier.
• If the picture quality is good on some channels and poor on others, the
problem may be caused by a poor or weak signal from the broadcaster
or cable TV provider.
• If you connect to cable TV without a set-top box and experience poor
picture quality, you may need to install a set-top box to improve signal
reception and picture quality. Contact your cable TV provider about
upgrading to a set-top box.
• Many high-definition (HD) channels upscale standard-definition (SD)
content. The picture displayed on your TV is still displayed as SD, thus
the picture quality will not be as clear or crisp as it would be if the
content was originally recorded in HD.
