Precautions

Install the Wall-Mount

• If you use the TV installed on the Wall-Mount Bracket for a long time, the wall behind or above the TV may become discolored or the wallpaper may come unstuck, depending on the material of the wall.

• If the Wall-Mount Bracket is removed after installing it on the wall, the screw holes are left.

• If you have routed 300-ohm feeder cables behind the wall, we recommend that you change them to 75ohm coaxial cables. If it is necessary to continue to use 300-ohm feeder cables, be sure there is sufficient space available between the TV and the feeder cables behind the wall before installing. Consult your contractor regarding an appropriate location (free from radio noise, etc.) before installing.

•Magnet influence This TV contains a strong magnet in the speaker unit which generates magnetic influence. Keep any items that are susceptible to magnetic influence away from the TV speaker.
