Inserting batteries into the remote control

1 Remove the protection sheet. 2 Push and slide the cover to open.

x Guidelines for Remote Control

• Point your remote control directly at the IR sensor located on your TV.

• Make sure that no objects are blocking the path between the remote control and the IR sensor on your TV.

• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control; try turning off the fluorescent lamps.

• If you are having problems with the remote control, reinsert or replace your batteries and make sure that they are correctly inserted.

Before setting up your TV

Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right away. See page 20 (Using a Wall-Mount Bracket) if you want to mount the TV to a wall. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction leaflet. Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:

• Disconnect all cables when carrying the TV.

• Carry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.

• Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damage.

Getting Started

• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 21.

• For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.

• Avoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.

• Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color. Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely before powering the TV on.

(Continued)

• Ensure that there are no objects in front of the TV.

1: Attaching the

Table-Top Stand

IR Sensor

3D Sync Transmitter

Refer to the supplied Table-Top Stand leaflet for proper attachment.

• Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen.

• Be careful to not pinch your hands or the AC power cord when you install the TV set to the Table-Top Stand.

1 Place the TV set on the Table-Top Stand.

Guide pins

• Align the TV from the top, slide it in until the guide pins cannot be seen.

2 Fix the TV to the Table-Top Stand using

the supplied screws. The arrow marks

indicate the location of the screw holes used for securing the Table-Top Stand.

• If using an electric screwdriver, set the

torque at approximately 1.5 N·m {15 kgf·cm}.

Detaching the Table-Top Stand from the TV

To detach the Table-Top Stand from the TV, remove the screws fixed in step 2.

• Do not remove the Table-Top Stand for any reason other than to install corresponding accessories on the TV.

• When removing the Table-Top Stand from the TV, lay the display face down on a stable work surface that is larger than the TV.

• To prevent damaging the surface of the LCD display, make sure to place a soft cloth on the work surface.

• When installing the TV on a wall, remove the screws from the rear of the TV. Be sure to store the removed screws in a safe place, keeping them away from children.

• When attaching the Table-Top Stand again, be sure to fasten the screws (previously removed) to the original holes on the rear of the TV.

2: Adjusting the

viewing angle of the TV

This TV can be adjusted within the angles as illustrated.

x Angle adjustment (Swivel)

• When adjusting the angle, hold the stand with one hand to avoid having the stand slip or TV tip over.
