WARNING

• Dangerously high voltages are present inside the TV.

• TV operating voltage: 220–240 V AC.

• Do not plug in the power cord until you have completed making all other connections; otherwise a minimum leakage current might flow through the antenna and other terminals to ground.

•To avoid battery leakage and damage to the remote, remove the batteries from the remote if you are not going to use it for several days. If any liquid leaks from the batteries and touches your skin, immediately wash it away with water.

For your own safety, do not touch any part of the TV, the power cord and the antenna cable during lightning storms.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.

Do not block the ventilation openings of the TV. Do not install the TV in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

For children’s safety, do not leave children alone with the TV. Do not allow children to climb onto it.

Do not operate the TV if any liquid or solid object falls into it. Have it checked immediately by qualified personnel only.

Clean the TV with a dry and soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or any other chemicals to clean the TV. Do not attach anything (e.g., adhesive tape, cellophane tape, glue) on the painted cabinet of the TV. Do not scratch the picture tube.

Do not open the cabinet and the rear cover of the TV as high voltages and other hazards are present inside the TV. Refer servicing and disposal of the TV to qualified personnel.

2

Your TV is recommended for home use only. Do not use the TV in any vehicle or where it may be subject to excessive dust, heat, moisture or vibrations.

Do not place any objects on the TV. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Install the TV on a stable TV stand and floor which can support the TV set weight. Ensure that the TV stand surface is flat and its area is larger than the bottom area of the TV.

Do not plug in too many appliances to the same power socket. Do not damage the power cord.

Pull the power cord out by the plug. Do not pull the power cord itself. Even if your TV is turned off, it is still connected to the AC power source (mains) as long as the power cord is plugged in. Unplug the TV before moving it or if you are not going to use it for several days.

About the glazed finish on the top and side panels of your TV

The top and side panels of your TV are glaze finished. To keep them from discoloring, deterioration or scratching:

• Avoid hitting your TV with an object.

• Do not put a hot object such as a cup of coffee, or heavy object such as a flower vase with water, on the TV top. If any liquid fall into the cabinet, it may cause fire or shock hazard.

Using Your New TV

Tips

• You can immediately go to the end of the “Initial Setup” menu by pressing MENU.

• If your TV has preset an unwanted channel or cannot preset a particular channel, then preset your TV manually (see page 88).

Notes

• Before adjusting “Picture Rotation” and “Picture V-Position”, keep external speakers or other electrical equipment away from the TV. The magnetic disturbance from these equipment or the direction of the earth’s magnetic field may affect the TV.

• If you do not succeed in adjusting “Picture Rotation” and “Picture VPosition”, turn off the TV and change its location or direction, then try to adjust using the menu. Do not move the TV while the TV is turned on. If you do, abnormal color patches may appear on the picture. Press ! on the TV to turn off the TV for about 15 minutes, then turn it on again to demagnetize the TV.

• When adjusting “Picture Rotation”, adjust the value step by step. If you rotate the bars largely at a time, color distortion may occur.

• You cannot adjust “Picture Rotation” and “Picture V-Position” when HD signals are input or “Memory Stick” mode is selected.

• The TV’s “Memory Stick” viewer cannot display still images and movies stored in TIFF or any other non-JPEG or non-MPEG1 compression format.

* JPEG stands for “Joint Photographic Experts Group,” which is the

organization that implemented this format. DCF stands for “Design Rules for Camera File Systems,” which are specifications established by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

** MPEG1 stands for “Motion Picture Experts Group” which is the

organization that implemented this format and is the typical compression format for movie files.

To prevent accidental erasure of still images and movies

Set the “Memory Stick” erasure prevention switch to “LOCK”. In this position, you cannot rotate the images. (See page 55.)

Notes

• If you install the TV to another location, make sure to adjust the alignment of the picture again.

• Before adjusting “Picture Rotation” and “Picture V-Position”, keep external speakers or other electrical equipment away from the TV. The magnetic disturbance from these equipment or the direction of the earth’s magnetic field may affect the TV.

• When adjusting “Picture Rotation”, adjust the value step by step. If you rotate the bars largely at a time, color distortion may occur.

• If you do not succeed in adjusting “Picture Rotation” and “Picture VPosition”, turn off the TV and change its location or direction, then try to adjust using the menu. Do not move the TV while the TV is turned on. If you do, abnormal color patches may appear on the picture. Press ! on the TV to turn off the TV for about 15 minutes, then turn it on again to demagnetize the TV.

•You cannot adjust “Picture Rotation” and “Picture V-Position” when HD signals are input or “Memory Stick” mode is selected.
