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.

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 45).

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.

Connecting optional components

You can connect optional audio/video components, such as a VCR, a DTV (Digital Television) receiver, multi disc player, camcorder, video game, or stereo system. To watch and operate the connected equipment, see pages 18 and 27.

Notes

• If you install the TV to another location, make sure to adjust the alignment

of the picture again.

• If you do not succeed in adjusting “Picture Rotation” and “Picture V-

Position”, 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.
