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 21 (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 22.
• 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.

Detaching the Table-Top
Stand from the TV
~

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. (They are
fastened in the screw holes for wall
mounting.) 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.
