fatigue if you watch TV for too long or in a dark  
room. To obtain clear picture, do not expose the  
screen to direct illumination or sunlight. Use spot  
lighting directed down from the ceiling if you can.  
INSTALLATION  
To do Wall mount installation, you need a Wall-  
Mount Bracket. When installing or removing

Broken pieces  
VOLUME ADJUSTMENT  
Do not throw anything at the TV.  
Doing so may break the screen glass  
and cause serious injury.  
If the surface of the TV cracks, unplug  
the AC power cord before touching the  
TV. Otherwise electric shock may result.  
¸ Adjust the volume to avoid disturbing your  
neighbors. Sound carries easily at night.  
Therefore, we suggest you close the windows  
or use headphones.  
¸ When using headphones, adjust the volume  
to appropriate levels, or hearing damage may  
result.  
Handling of broken glass and liquid  
crystal leakage  
If the LCD panel gets damaged, crystalline liquid  
leakage may occur, or scattered broken glass may  
result. Do not touch broken glass or crystalline  
liquid which is toxic, with bare hands as cuts,  
poisoning or skin irritation may occur. Also do not  
glass fragments or leaked crystalline liquid get  
into your eyes or mouth. Should either contacted  
your eyes or mouth, rinse the contacted area  
thoroughly with water and consult your doctor.  
LCD SCREEN  
¸ Although the LCD screen is made with high-  
precision technology and has effective  
pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or  
bright points or light (red, blue, or green)  
may appear constantly on the LCD screen.  
This is a structural property of the LCD  
panel and is not a malfunction.  
¸ The LCD screen is made with high-precision  
technology. To achieve a high level of  
performance and picture quality, this TV’s  
backlight setting is set to maximize the  
brightness of the TV. However, uneven  
brightness may be observed when the LCD TV  
is viewed in a dark environment without an  
input source or a blank screen. This is a normal  
condition, not a malfunction of the TV. To  
improve this condition, change the Picture  
mode, Backlight setting, enable the Light  
Sensor, or turn on the Power management.  
¸ Avoid exposing the LCD screen surface to  
direct sunlight. It is likely to damage the LCD  
panel.  
¸ Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place  
objects on top of the TV. The image may be  
uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.  
¸ If the TV is used in a cold place, a smear may  
occur in the picture or the picture may become  
dark. This does not indicate a failure. These  
phenomena improve as the temperature rises.  
¸ When still pictures are displayed continuously,  
ghosting may occur. It should disappear after a  
short period of time.  
SERVICING  
Do not attempt to repair the TV  
yourself, since opening the cabinet  
may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Ask qualied service  
personnel to do the servicing for your TV.

When replacement parts are required, be sure  
the service technician certies in writing that  
he/she has used replacement parts specied by  
the manufacturer that have the same  
characteristics

original  
parts.  
Unauthorized substitutions may cause a fire,  
an electric shock or other hazards.  
Safety check  
Upon completion of repairs to the TV, ask the  
service technician to perform routine safety  
checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to  
determine that the TV is safe for operating, and  
to so certify. Ask a qualied service technician  
to dispose of the TV.  
For Customers in the United States  
¸ The screen and cabinet get warm when the TV
