WARNING  
NOTIFICATION  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do  
not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.  
This equipment has been tested and found to  
comply with the limits for a Class B digital  
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a  
residential installation. This equipment  
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency  
energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause  
harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference  
will not occur in a particular installation. If this  
equipment does cause harmful interference to  
radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on,  
the user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following  
measures:  
If the TV is transported directly from a  
cold to a warm location, or if the room  
temperaturechanges suddenly, the picture  
may be blurred or show poor color due to  
moisture condensation. In this case,  
please wait a few hours to let the moisture  
evaporate before turning on the TV.  
To obtain the best picture, do not expose  
the screen to direct illumination or direct  
sunlight. It is recommended to use spot  
lighting directed down from the ceiling or  
to cover the windows that face the screen  
with opaque drapery. It is desirable to  
install the TV in a room where the floor  
and walls are not of a reflective material.

Antennas  
Never install the unit as follows:  
Air circulation is blocked.  
Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An  
outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead  
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come  
in contact with such power lines or circuits.  
Air circulation is blocked.  
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,  
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM  
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT  
WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.  
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection  
against voltage surges and built-up static charges.  
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and Section  
54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with  
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,  
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of  
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to  
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.  
Outdoor use  
Do not install this unit outdoors. If the unit is exposed  
to rain, it may result in a fire or an electric shock. If the  
unit is exposed to direct sunlight, the unit may heat up  
and cause damage to the unit.  
Antenna Grounding According to the National  
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70  
Vehicle and ceiling  
Do not install this unit in a vehicle or hang from the  
ceiling.  
Antenna lead-in wire

Lightning  
For added protection for this TV during a lightning storm, or when it is  
left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the  
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the  
receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.  
Damage requiring service  
If the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch it until you unplug the AC  
power cord.  
Otherwise electric shock may result.  
Servicing  
Do not attempt to service the unit yourself since opening  
the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or  
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service  
personnel.  
Replacement parts  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the  
service technician certifies in writing that he/she has  
used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer  
that have the same characteristics as the original parts.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in a fire, an  
electric shock or other hazards.  
Safety check  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit,  
ask the service technician to perform routine safety  
checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to  
determine that the unit is in safe operating condition,  
and to so certify. Ask a qualified service technician to  
dispose of the unit.

Getting Started  
Connecting the TV  
To display clear crisp pictures, you must connect your TV correctly and  
select the correct Wide Mode to display the picture in the correct aspect  
recommended to connect the antenna/cable input using the supplied 75-ohm  
coaxial cable to receive optimum picture quality signal. A 300-ohm twin  
lead cable can be easily affected by radio noise and the like, resulting in  
signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm twin lead cable, keep it as far  
away from the TV as possible.  
You can also connect a variety of optional equipment to your TV (see page  
13). For multiple equipment connections, please refer to the Quick Setup  
Guide.

check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your program  
provider).  
Certain programs on DVD or other  
digital sources display a loss of  
detail, especially during fast-motion  
or dark scenes.  
The compression used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs may cause your  
TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or  
dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. This is due to your TV’s large screen  
and ability to show very fine detail, and is normal for certain digitally recorded  
programs.

Check the polarity of the batteries or replace the batteries.  
Point the remote control at the remote control sensor of the TV.
