Disassembling Your LCD HDTV
If you want to transport your VO22L HDTV, it is recommended that you disassemble the TV from the base
stand and put the contents back into the original box. Please follow the instructions below to disassemble
your VO22L HDTV.
1. Familiarize with the base design as show below. These are two points where squeezing pressure
must be applied.
2. Place the TV face down on a soft (blanket, foam, cloth, etc.) flat surface to prevent any damage
to the unit, making sure that the screen is resting well on the surface so that there is not an
uneven pressure. Let the base hangs at the edge of the flat surface, as shown below; to make it
easier to detach it from the TV.
3. Applying enough squeezing pressure at these two points will release the clips from the locking
position, making it smoother to separate the base from the TV.
Note:
If you choose to wall mount the TV, please follow the instructions or steps under such
topic in the User’s Manual.

TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard NTSC
TV using antenna or cable.
RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red, green
and blue color components. The signal carries horizontal
and vertical sync information on the green signal. This is
most commonly used for PC input.
Component - The video signal is separated into three
signals, one containing the black-and-white information and
the other two containing the color information. This
enhancement over S-Video takes advantage of the superior
picture provided by progressive scan DVD players and
HDTV formats.
S-Video (AV) - The video signal is separated into two
signals, one containing the black-and-white information and
the other containing the color information. Separating the
color in this way avoids ‘cross color’ effects where closely
spaced black and white lines are erroneously displayed in
color. It also enables text to be displayed more sharply.
Composite (AV) - The complete video signal is carried
through this single pin connector. This is the most
commonly used video connection.
