CHILD SAFETY:  
PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS  
THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY  
CARES  
WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR  
TELEVISION  
Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer  
electronics industry are committed to making home  
entertainment safe and enjoyable.  
ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional  
installation if you have any doubts about your ability to  
safely mount your television.  
As you enjoy your television, please note that all  
televisions – new and old- must be supported on proper  
stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s  
recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately  
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,  
chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.  
ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by  
the television manufacturer and has a safety certification  
by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).  
ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the  
television and mount manufacturers.  
ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you  
are mounting the television is appropriate. Some mounts  
are not designed to be mounted to walls and ceilings  
with steel studs or cinder block construction. If you are  
unsure, contact a professional installer.  
Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is  
required for a wall or ceiling mount installation.  
TUNE IN TO SAFETY  
ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s recommendations  
for the safe installation of your television.  
ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use  
of your television.  
NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the  
television or the furniture on which the television is  
placed.  
NEVER place the television on furniture that can easily  
be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.  
ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be  
pushed, pulled over or knocked down.  
ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the  
television so that they cannot be tripped over, pulled or  
grabbed.  
MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW  
PLACE IN YOUR HOME  
Many new television buyers move their older CRT  
televisions into a secondary room after the purchase of a  
flat-panel television. Special care should be made in the  
placement of older CRT televisions.  
ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture  
that is sturdy and appropriate for its size and weight.  
NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser  
where children may be tempted to use the drawers to  
climb.  
CE.org/safety  
ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does  
not hang over the edge of your furniture.

7 Useful tips  
FAQ  
Question  
Answer  
Check the Antenna or Cable Connection to the Main Unit.  
Check the Batteries on the Remote Control.  
Re-insert the Batteries with their Polarities (+/–) as indicated.  
Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the Remote Control.  
My Remote Control does  
not work.  
What should I do?  
Test the IR Signal Output use IR Signal Check. L p. 36  
If okay, then possible Infrared Sensor trouble.  
Aim the Remote Control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the Unit.  
Reduce the distance to the Unit.  
When there is an infrared-equipped device such as PC near this Unit, it may interrupt the Remote Control signal on this  
Unit. Move the infrared-equipped device away from this Unit, change the angle of the Device's infrared sensor or Turn  
Off the infrared communication function.  
How come the Initial Setup  
appears every time I Turn  
On this Unit?  
Connect the RF Coaxial Cable directly to this Unit and run the Initial Setup.  
Make sure to complete the Initial Setup before the Unit goes into Standby mode.  
Autoprogram must be completed when you Set Up the Unit for the First time or Move it to a location where previously  
unavailable channels are broadcast.  
Make sure Autoprogram has been completed. L p. 24  
The selected channel may not be broadcasting.  
Why can I not watch some  
RF signal TV Programs?  
When Autoprogram is interrupted and not completed, some channels will not be received. Make sure to complete the  
Autoprogram. L p. 24  
The selected channel cannot be viewed by the Child and Ratings Lock setting. L p. 27  
The Unit requires some kind of Antenna Input. An indoor Antenna (Digital or VHF / UHF), an External Antenna (Digital  
or VHF / UHF) or an RF Coaxial Cable from your wall Cable / Satellite Set-top Box needs to be plugged into the Unit.  
Check if the correct Input mode is selected by pressing SOURCE or using CH + / –. Refer to Watching Channels from  
an External Device. L p. 18  
How come there is no  
image from the Connected  
External Devices?  
Check the Antenna, Cable or other Input Connection to the Unit.  
When using the Component Video Connection check that the Green (Y), Blue (Pb/Cb) and Red (Pr/Cr) connectors  
are connected to their corresponding colored jacks on the Unit.  
When I enter a channel  
number, why does it change  
Automatically?  
Many Digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The Unit changes the numbers Automatically to the ones signifying  
the Broadcasting Station's channel number. These basic numbers used for the previous Analog Broadcasts. (e.g., Input  
Digital ch# 30 Automatically changes to Digital ch# 8.1)  
Why are captions not  
displayed Entirely?  
Or why are captions  
delayed behind the dialog?  
Closed Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialog are common for Live broadcasts. Most captioning  
production companies can display a dialog to maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialog exceeds that rate, selective  
editing is used to insure that the Closed Captions remain up-to date with the current TV screen dialog.  
How can I set the clock?  
There is No clock function on this Unit.  
My PIN code no longer  
works, how can I change the  
Child Lock setting?  
If a Power failure occurs for longer than 10 seconds the child lock setting is retained, but the PIN code is reset to the  
default code 0000. Refer to Child and Ratings Lock. L p. 27
