Important Safety Instructions
Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits. Misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the following rules
should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your HDTV. Read the following safety instructions before operating your HDTV. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future
reference,
To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other components to your HDTV.
Unplug the power cord before cleaning your HDTV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use abrasive
cleaners. Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.
When moving your HDTV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your HDTV to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by manufacturer or sold with your HDTV. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/HDTV combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Do not place your HDTV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If your HDTV falls, it can injure a person and
cause serious damage to your HDTV. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with your HDTV. A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your HDTV and any heat source,
such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your HDTV close to smoke. Operating your HDTV 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 HDTV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are
not blocked or covered. Do not place your HDTV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided. Never push any object into the slots and openings on your HDTV cabinet. Do not place any
objects on the top of your HDTV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your HDTV. Your HDTV 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 HDTV. 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. Your HDTV is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug (a plug with a third grounding
pin}. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-pronged, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an
adapter to ground your HDTV safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug. When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your HDTV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

Television Antenna Connection Protection
External Television Antenna Grounding
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.
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.

Advisory of the DTV Transition
The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be complete on June 12, 2009, but your local television stations may switch sooner. After the switch, analog-only television sets that receive TV
programming through an antenna will need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch your local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to digital-only
broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power, Class A or translator television stations and with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD
players, and similar products.

Picture
Picture Mode
Choose from Standard, Movie, Game, Vivid, Football, Golf, Basketball, Baseball, and Custom. Each input (i.e. HDMI, COMP,
etc) remembers the custom setting you created. Backlight
The backlight level adjusts the lamp current and this affects the overall brilliance of the picture but does not affect the Brightness (black level)
or Contrast (white level) of the picture. Brightness
The brightness adjusts the black levels in the picture. If the brightness is too low you will not be able to see the detail in darker parts of the
picture and if the brightness is too high the picture will look washed out. Contrast
The contrast adjusts the white levels in the picture. If the contrast is too low the picture will look washed out and if the contrast is too high you
will not be able to see any detail in the bright parts of a picture. Color
Color adjusts the amount of color in the picture.
Tint
The tint adjusts the hue of the picture. The easiest way to set tint is to look at flesh tones and adjust for a realistic appearance. In most cases, the default middle position is correct. If people's
faces look too orange try reducing the level of color first. Sharpness
The sharpness adjustment adjusts the sharpness of the edges of elements in the picture. It does not produce detail that otherwise does not exist. This adjustment is helpful when viewing
(Standard Definition) sources.
Size & Position

Color Temperature Color Temperature is the "warmness" or "coolness" of the white areas of the picture.
• Color Temperature Choose from Cool, Computer, Normal, or Custom. Cool produces a blue-hued image. Computer sets the white point at the established setting for a PC
display (9300K). Normal is the setting for television broadcasting. Custom allows you to set a preset calibrated for a white point to suit individual preferences:
o Red Gain o Green Gain
o Blue Gain o Red Offset
o Green Offset o Blue Offset

the housing, screen glass, and remote control, and cause labeling to peel.
• The screen glass is very fragile. Do not scrape it with any sharp object.
• Do not press or tap the screen to avoid cracking.
