Important
Safeguards
Attachments
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.
For your protection, please read these safety
instructions completely before operating the appliance,
and keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and
instructions on the appliance, or the one described in
the operating instructions and adhere to them.
Use
Power sources
This set should be operated only
from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of
electrical power supplied to your
home, consult your dealer or local power company.
For those sets designed to operate from battery power,
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized ac power cord
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or
with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a
third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions
below:
For the set with a polarized AC power
cord plug:
This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
forcing it in.
For the set with a three-wire grounding
type AC plug:
This plug will only fit into a
grounding-type power outlet. This
is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or convenience
receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or
electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into
the set through openings as they
may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in
a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the set.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet
before cleaning or polishing it. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a cloth lightly
dampened with water for cleaning
the exterior of the set.
Installation
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets
near water - for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection
Route the power cord so that it is
not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where
the cord exits from the appliance.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The set may
fall, causing serious injury to a
child or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use
only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended
by the manufacturer.
An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.
S3125A
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
necessary ven tila tion. To ensure reliab le operation of
the set, and to protec t it from overheating, these slots
and openings must never be blocked or covered.
• Never cov er the slots and
openings with a cloth or
other materials.
• Never block the slots and
openings by placing the set
on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface.
,continued

• Never place the set in a
confined space, such as a
bookcase, or built-in
cabinet, unless proper
ventilation is provided.
• Do not place the set near or
over a radiator or heat
register, or where it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
Antennas
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed,
follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light
or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with
such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER
LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection aga inst voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National E lectrical Code
provides information with respect to proper groun ding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding o f the lead-in
wire to an antenn a disc ha rge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenn a-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, a nd requirements for the
grounding electrode.

Lightning
For added protection for this set 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 or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the set due to lightning and powerline surges.

• When the set exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set
yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other
hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics
as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
Safety Che ck
Upon completion of any service or
repairs to the set, ask the service
technician to perform routine
safety checks (as specified by the
manufacturer) to determine that
the set is in safe operating
condition.

Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, th e di splay changes as fo llows:

–your TV is co nnecte d to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE OUT
(VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).
You cannot select this setting while the HDMI indicator is lit.
About DVD software types and the conv ersion method
DVD software can be divided into two types: film-based software and video based software.
Video-base d software is derived from TV , such as dramas and sit-co m s, and displays images at
30 frames/60 fields per se cond. Film-based s oftware is derive d from film and displa ys images at
24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.
In order for thes e images to appea r natural on your screen when output in progressive format,
the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are
watching.
Notes
• Whe n you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of ima ges ma y
appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks. Images from the S VI DEO OUT an d LINE OUT (VI DEO) j acks ar e un affect ed as they are outp ut in
the normal (interlace) fo rm a t.
• When using LINE OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT, the picture may appear to flicker each tim e the
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel is pressed (Interlace switches to Progressive or vice versa).
