the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

When you see this symbol, please read the
accompanying helpful tip.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched,
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,



or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain
or moisture, does not operate normally or has been
dropped.

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your TV.

• When moving your TV from an area of low temperature
to an area of high temperature, condensation may form
in the housing. Wait before turning on your TV to avoid
causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.

• A distance of at least three feet should be maintained
between your TV and any heat source, such as a radiator,
heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your TV close to
smoke. Operating your TV close to smoke or moisture may
cause fire or electric shock.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the
cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of your TV and to protect it from overheating,
be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do
not place your TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper
ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slots and openings on
your TV cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of
your TV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire
or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your TV.

• Your TV should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer
or local power company.

• Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your TV.
This may compromise the integrity of the display. The
manufacturer’s warranty does not cover user abuse or
improper installations.

• The power cord must be replaced when using different
voltage than the voltage specified. For more information,
contact your dealer.

• When connected to a power outlet, power is always
flowing into your TV. To totally disconnect power, unplug

electrical storms.

• Unplug your TV during a lightning storm or when it will not
be used for long period of time. This will protect your TV
from damage due to power surges.

• Do not attempt to repair or service your TV yourself.
Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to
high voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair
is required, contact your dealer and refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

• WARNING: Keep your TV away from moisture. Do not
expose your TV to rain or moisture. If water penetrates into
your TV, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer.

Continuous use in this case may result in fire or electric
shock.

components may function abnormally. Unplug the power
cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair.
Continued use of your TV may cause fire or electric
shock.

• Do not install your TV in an area with heavy dust or high
humidity. Operating your TV in environments with heavy
dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.

• Follow instructions for moving your TV. Ensure that the
power cord and any other cables are unplugged before
moving your TV.

• When unplugging your TV, hold the AC/DC power
adapter, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may
damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or
electric shock. When your TV will not be used for an
extended period of time, unplug the power cord.

• This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.

• The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the
disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain
readily operable.

TELEVISION ANTENNA CONNECTION
PROTECTION

If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be
connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system
is electrically grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70,
provides information with regard to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.

Ground Clamp

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when
it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug
the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits,
or where it could fall into such power lines or circuits. Remember,
the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to
earth in the building installation.

CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO

The TV can display images in five different modes: Normal, Stretch,
Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the picture
differently.

To change the screen aspect ratio:

1. Press the WIDE button on the

remote.

2. Use the Arrow buttons to

highlight the aspect ratio you
wish to view and press OK.

original aspect ratio. Since the
4:3 aspect ratio is not large
enough to fill the TV’s screen,
black bars are added to the left
and right of the display image.

• Stretch expands the display image to fill the screen.

Images may appear wider than intended. If you are
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display
image. This option is only available when the TV is

displaying a 720p/1080i source.

• Panoramic expands the display image to fill the screen.

Images may appear wider than intended. If you are
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display
image. This option is only available when the TV is
