IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
Television Antenna Connection Protection  
External Television Antenna Grounding  
If an outside antenna 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.

Closed Captioning (digital and analog) Explained  
Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to view conservations,  
narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed Captions are available on most TV  
program, and on some VHS home video tapes, at the election of the program provider.  
CC – Press this button to enable the CC function. You can then use the ▲▼ buttons to select if you  
want CC off or CC on. You can use the ◄► buttons to select between different CC channels.  
Please Note:  
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available on digital TV programs  
(also at the election of the service provider). It is a more flexible system than the original  
Closed Caption system, because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font styles.  
Not all programs and VHS video tapes offer closed caption. Please look for the CC  
symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.  
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided.  
Each is identified by its own number. The CC1 and  
CC2 services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program’s picture.  
In the Closed Caption system, the TEXT1 or TEXT2 services display text that is  
unrelated to the program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also  
superimposed over the program currently being viewed.  
Closed Captioning for this TV only works under sources TV, and VIDEO.

Aspect Ratio Explained  
The TV is a widescreen TV, but most TV programs are still broadcasting in a square format,  
therefore the TV is offering multiple ways of viewing videos. There are mainly two types of signal  
format, Full (16:9 format), Normal (4:3 format), while others offer a novelty ways to view the TV.  
Simply use the ASPECT button on the TV’s remote control to cycle between the multiple modes.  
1.  
NORMAL  
Most analog TV channels have 4:3 signal formats. If the original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1  
source) is preserved, black bars are added to the left and right of the display image. This  
aspect keeps that aspect ratio and shows you the black bars on the side.  
2.  
WIDE  
This mode will stretch the picture to a widescreen ratio. If you have a perfect 16:9 ratio picture  
you will not see any black bars. If you are watching a widescreen movie in 1.85:1 or 2.35:1  
ratio, you will still get black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. If you use this mode on  
4:3 pictures they will be stretched and distorted horizontally.  
3.  
ZOOM  
When watching a 4:3 aspect ratio TV or movie, this mode zooms in to cut off most of the black  
bars on the side while preserving the 16:9 ratio. Because of the zoom, the top and bottom are  
cut off as well.  
4.  
5.  
CINEMA  
This mode cuts off all 4 sides to try to make a widescreen movie fit better on the TV screen.  
DOT BY DOT (only available under PC & HDMI) This mode is only available when the  
source is shown a true PC signal. This will show 100% of the screen without any type of  
cropping.

How do I clean the TV ?  
IMPORTANT  
1. The power cable has to be removed from the socket before cleaning the  
TV.  
2. Do not use volatile solvent (alcohol, rosin, and toluene) to clean the TV.  
These types of chemicals might damage the housing and the LCD glass.  
Cleaning the bezel and remote control  
1. Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.  
2. If the remote control or bezel is dirty to the point where you cannot  
simply dry wipe it, please lightly dampen the wiping material (the wiping  
material cannot be dripping wet, because if water drips into the  
panel it will cause malfunction and possible permanent damage to  
the panel which will not be covered under the warranty) with clean  
water and wipe again. Wipe the display with a dry micro-fiber cloth or  
100% cotton cloth afterwards.  
Please Note :  
Make sure you wring the water out of the cloth before  
cleaning the bezel or remote in order to prevent water  
from penetrating into the electronics.  
Cleaning the Screen  
1. Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.  
2. The LCD screen glass is extremely fragile. Do not scrape it with any  
material. Do not press or tap the screen to avoid cracking. When the  
screen is dirty to the point where you cannot simply dry wipe it, please  
lightly dampen the wiping material with clean water and wipe again.  
Wipe the display with a dry micro-fiber cloth or 100% cotton cloth  
afterwards.
