Important Information

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN.

Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualied service personnel.

This symbol indicates “dangerous voltage” inside the product that presents a risk of electric shock or personal injury.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. This product should not be exposed to dripping or splashing. No objects lled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the

apparatus

WARNING

Refer to the identication/rating label located on the back panel of your product for its proper operating voltage.

FCC regulations state that unauthorized changes or modications to this equipment may void the user’s authority to operate it.

Cable TV Installer: This reminder is provided to call your attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, species that the cable ground should be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Important: This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a rm, at surface. Don’t place the TV on soft carpeting or similar surface because the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit will be blocked, resulting in reduced lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain a spacing of 4 inches from the top and side of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.

Also, make sure the stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the TV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on the next page.

The Power button (followed by the power symbol) on this TV and your remote control puts the TV into a very lowpower standby mode but will not completely turn the power off. In order to completely shut the power off, you will need to disconnect the power cord from the outlet. The mains plug/appliance coupler is used as disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Therefore, you should ensure that the TV is installed in a manner that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.

The batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like.

This symbol indicates that this product incorporates double insulation between hazardous main voltage and user accessible parts. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

This symbol indicates important instructions accompanying the product.

WARNING

The TV is unstable if it is not properly attached to the base or mounted to the wall. Please follow the base or wall mounting instructions provided in the User’s Guide to ensure your safety.

Chapter 1 Connections and Setup

Before Initial Setup

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any power cords into the wall outlet or power strip.

• NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.

• Turn off the TV before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions.

Safety Information

• Prevent TV from overheating with a good ventilation area.

• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of this TV. Arrange the TV so air can circulate freely.

• Don’t stack object onto this TV.

• If you place the TV on a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplier to the TV, place it on the top shelf so the heated air won’t harm the TV.

Avoid Audio Interference

• Position cables properly; insert each cable rmly into the designated jack.

• Route all cables down one side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle.

• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.

• Keep twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Connections and Setup

Attaching Your TV to the Base Stand

Your TV comes without the base stand attached so that you can choose to mount your TV either to its base stand or to a wall (wall mount sold separately). If you want to mount your TV to the wall, don’t attach the base stand. Follow the Mounting Your TV to the Wall instructions.

First, remove the TV bag and place it on a large, at surface such as a table or countertop. Remove the TV from the carton and place it face down on the TV bag. Be sure that the TV is face down to avoid scratching the screen. Then follow the steps below:

Warning: Keep the screws and plastic parts away from grease and organic solvents to avoid damage. Especially during the assembly process. To avoid any injury caused by lean of the product, please always ensure the support brackets attached to the TV as step 3, and ensure the base stand and the support brackets are placed on the table surface in horizontal.

Mounting Your TV to the Wall

If you are mounting your TV to the wall, don’t attach the base stand.

To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount.

Models of 32” Purchase a VESA 100 x 200, screws (M4x12)

Models of 39" Purchase a VESA 100 x 200, screws (M6x10)

Models of 48” Purchase a VESA 200 x 200, screws (M6x10 )

Models of 55" Purchase a VESA 200 x 200, screws (M6x15 )

The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example, 400x200 refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 400mm horizontally and 200mm vertically.

Notes: Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall. Caution: Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of ve times the TV’s net weight to avoid causing

damage.

Explanation of Jacks on TV

This section describes the jacks on the side/back panel of your TV. There are several ways to connect components.

NAV Menu

Y/VIDEO

AUDIO

RPB

COMPONENT IN (CMPT) AUDIO/VIDEO IN (AV)

COMPONENT IN (CMPT): Lets you connect a component that has component video jacks, such as a DVD player or set-top box. ( Green jack for Y, Blue jack for Pb and Red jack for Pr )

• Y Pb Pr (Component Video): Provides good picture quality because the video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade or component video cables for the connection.

• L/R AUDIO: Provides left and right audio connection when using the CMPT VIDEO input. Red and white

jacks for R AUDIO and L AUDIO connection.(Note: AV IN and COMPONENT IN share the same L/R AUDIO and Y/Video input jacks.)

AUDIO/VIDEO IN (AV IN): Lets you connect a component that has composite video jacks, such as a VCR, DVD player or set-top box. Green jack for VIDEO connection, red and white jacks for R AUDIO and L AUDIO connection.

Connections and Setup

USB: Allows you to connect a compatible mass storage device.

HDMI 1 IN (DVI) (High-Denition Multimedia Interface/Digital Visual

Interface): Provides an uncompressed digital connection that carries both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI technology is based on Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with DVI components.

Note: If using a DVI component, remember to connect the audio cable because the DVI cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound. DVI share the same L/R AUDIO jack of Audio/Video IN.

HDMI 2 IN (MHL): Lets you connect a component, such as a digital cable or satellite box, with an HDMI output for the best picture quality. MHL stands for Mobile High-denition Link, and allows you to link a MHLcapable mobile device to the television.

HDMI 3 IN: Lets you connect a component, such as a digital cable or satellite box, with an HDMI output for the best picture quality.

ANT/CABLE/SAT IN: Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from your antenna, cable, or cable box, or satellite receiver.

SPDIF - DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (coaxial): Use a digital coaxial cable to connect your TV to a compatible audio receiver.

Choose Your Connections

There are several ways to connect signal sources, such as BD player, DVD players and set-top boxes, to your TV.

Note: No cables are supplied with this TV. Please purchase the necessary cables for connection. A highspeed HDMI cable is recommended for better compatibility.
