Important Information

CAUTION

RIS K O F ELECTRIC SHOC K. 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 component.

This symbol indicates that this product contains mercury. Special disposal of this product for environmental reasons may be required under the laws applicable to your jurisdiction. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org.

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

FCC regulations state that changes or modications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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 a similar surface, as the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit may 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 sides of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces. Also, make sure the surface or stand 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 low-power standby mode but will not completely shut the power off. In order to shut the power off, you will need to disconnect the power cord from your outlet. Therefore, you should make sure the TV is installed in a way that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.

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.

1. Read and follow all instructions.

2. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

3. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliers)that produce heat.

4. Do not negate the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

5. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, receptacles, and the point where it exits from the component.

6. Do not use this component near water.

7. Only use the attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.

8. Clean only with dry cloth.

9. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the component. When the TV is placed on a cart, use caution when moving the cart to avoid injury from tip-over.

10. Unplug this component during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

11. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Service is required when the component is damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug damage, liquid spilled on or objects falling onto the component, rain or moisture exposure, abnormal operation, or if the component has been dropped.

12. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

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

• Protect components from overheating.

• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can

circulate freely.

• Don’t stack components.

• If you place the component in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

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

harm other components.

Avoid Audio Interference

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

• If you place components above the TV, 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.

Avoid Direct Light

Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting is directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect

lighting.

Check Supplied Parts

AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT (VID)

Lets you connect a component that has composite video jacks, such as a VCR or DVD player.

• L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the VIDEO INPUT jack. The left audio connectors are usually white. For mono audio sources, be sure to use the left AUDIO INPUT.

• R AUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the VIDEO INPUT jack. The right audio connector is usually red.

COMPONENT INPUT Let you connect a component that has component video jacks, such as a DVD player.

• CMPT 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.

• When using CMPT Y Pb Pr, make sure you connect left and right audio cables to the L and R AUDIO jacks shared with AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT (VID). For mono audio sources, be sure to use the left AUDIO INPUT.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT (coaxial) Use a digital coaxial cable to connect your TV to a compatible audio receiver.

HDMI INPUT 3 Lets you connect a component, such as a digital cable box, with an HDMI output for the best picture quality. (not available for models L32HDF10/L26HDF10)

HDMI/DVI INPUT 1 (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 miniplug 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.

• DVI AUDIO INPUT (used for DVI only) Provides audio connection when using the HDMI/DVI INPUT 1 jack for DVI.

Note: If using a DVI component, remember to connect the audio cable because the DVI cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
