Your LCD TV has four types of standard video connections. You should use the best  
connection available to get the best display. For example, if your DVD player supports a  
component video connection, connect the DVD player to your LCD TV using component  
video instead of composite video or S-Video.  
Connection Quality  
Cable and Connector  
Description  
Basic  
Coaxial (RF). The video and audio signals are  
both carried in one cable (the other three  
connection types only handle video, and  
require separate connections for sound).  
Coaxial is the only way to connect an antenna  
to your LCD TV.  
Good  
Better  
Composite. The video signal is carried through  
a single “pin.” This connection method is the  
one that is most commonly found on devices.  
S-Video. The video signal is split into two  
signals, black-and-white and color. Text  
displayed on-screen through this connection  
will be noticeably sharper than composite or  
coaxial (RF).  
Best  
Component. The video signal is split into three  
signals, two color, and one black-and-white.  
Use component video to take advantage of the  
superior picture provided by signal sources as  
HDTV and DVD.

and then watched TV in standard mode and low volume. When you  
switch back to DVD input, the viewing mode will return to widescreen  
and your volume will be high.  
Viewing modes  
Viewing Mode  
Description  
Standard mode. The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is  
preserved, so black bars are added to the left and right of the display  
image.  
Standard TV broadcasts are displayed with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Movies in  
4:3 may be referred to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These movies were  
originally filmed in 16:9 (widescreen), then were modified to fit a traditional  
TV screen (4:3).  
Widescreen mode. When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame  
movie in this mode, the display image is stretched proportionately to fill  
the TV screen.  
When watching a widescreen (1.76:1 source) program or movie the  
display image fills the TV screen.  
If you are watching a widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or  
movie, there will still be black bars at the top and bottom.  
Panoramic mode. When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame  
movie in this mode, the 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) display image is  
stretched horizontally on the left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The  
center of the image is not stretched.

Viewing Mode  
Description  
Zoom mode. When watching a widescreen (1.76:1, 1.85:1, or 2.35:1  
source) program or movie, the display image is zoomed proportionally to  
fill the width of the screen. The top and bottom are cut off to remove most  
of the source material’s black bars. This mode is good for programs or  
movies with sub-titles.  
Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode

Important safeguards  
Warning  
Risk of electric shock - Do not open  
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do no remove the back cover.  
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Removing the back cover  
voids the warranty.  
Have your LCD TV repaired by qualified service personnel only.  
Warnings and precautions  
Do not place your hands, face, or objects close to the ventilation openings of your  
LCD TV. The top of your LCD TV gets very hot from exhaust air that is released through  
the ventilation openings. Burns or personal injuries may occur if you are too close to  
the LCD TV. Damage may occur if you place any object near the top of your LCD TV.  
Disconnect all cables before moving your LCD TV. Moving your LCD TV with its cables  
attached may damage the cables and cause fire or electric shock danger.  
Do not expose your LCD TV to rain or moisture.  
Keep your LCD TV away from excessive dust, high temperatures, moisture, or direct  
sunlight.  
Use your LCD TV in a well-ventilated area and do not cover the ventilation openings.  
Do not modify your LCD TV or use an unshielded power cord or video input source  
cable, or you may experience excessive interference.  
Disconnect your LCD TV and unplug the power cord when not used for a long period  
of time.  
If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off your LCD TV, then disconnect  
it from the electrical outlet. Make sure that your video input source cable is connected  
correctly, then reconnect your LCD TV to the electrical outlet.  
Disconnect your LCD TV from the electrical outlet before cleaning or performing  
maintenance. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a slightly damp cloth for  
cleaning.  
Do not place your LCD TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Your LCD TV may fall,  
causing serious damage.  
Do not place your LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces.  
Never place your LCD TV near or over a radiator or heat source.  
Do not install your LCD TV in an enclosed area unless correct ventilation is provided.  
Your LCD TV should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the label.  
If the type of available power is unknown, consult your electrician or local power  
company.  
44  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
Your LCD TV is equipped with a 3-pin grounded plug. The plug will only fit into a  
grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you cannot plug the power cord into  
the outlet, contact your electrician. Do not alter the plug because this will defeat the  
safety feature.  
Do not rest objects on the power cord and avoid placing the power cord near high traffic  
areas.  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result in a risk of  
fire or electric shock.  
Unplug your LCD TV and contact qualified service personnel if:  
The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
Liquid has been spilled into your LCD TV.  
Your LCD TV has been exposed to water or moisture.  
Your LCD TV does not operate normally when the operating instructions are  
followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.  
Incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage which often requires  
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your LCD TV to normal  
operation.  
Your LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.  
Cleaning and maintenance  
Cleaning the screen  
Do not use substances such as glass cleaners, solvents, and thinners.  
The screen of your LCD TV has been specially treated. Wipe the surface gently using  
only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.  
If the surface is particular dirty, use a soft cloth and water to clean the screen. Squirt  
a little water on the cloth (never directly on the screen), then wipe the screen with the  
cloth.  
Warning  
The screen of your LCD TV is made of specially coated glass and  
can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or ammonia-based window  
cleaners.  
Scratches on the bezel or glass are not covered by your warranty.  
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the screen with your fingers or any hard objects.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
Cleaning the exterior  
Your LCD TV is cooled by air circulated through the vents on the case, so keep the vents  
free of dust. With your LCD TV turned off and unplugged, brush the dust away from  
the vents with a damp cloth. Be careful not to drip any water into the vents. Do not  
attempt to clean dust from the inside of your LCD TV.  
Do not use abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish on  
components.  
Do not allow any excessive water or moisture to come into contact with the surface  
of your LCD TV. If water or moisture gets inside your LCD TV, operating problems and  
electrical and shock hazards may result.  
Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with your fingers or any hard objects.  
Do not place articles made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any extended periods  
of time.

Make sure that the video input source is within the range of your LCD TV. Compare  
the video input source’s specifications with your LCD TV specifications.  
The display image does not cover the entire screen  
If you are using VGA mode, make sure that H Size and V Position in the OSD are set  
correctly.  
If you are using TV, AV1, AV2/S, or component (DVD or HDTV) with 480i input, use  
the WIDE button on the remote control to scroll through various screen modes.  
You can see a picture but you cannot hear sound  
Make sure that the volume is not turned down.  
Make sure that the sound is not muted.  
Make sure that your audio input source cables are connected securely and correctly.  
The LCD TV has pixels that are always bright, dark, or colored  
Your LCD TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology.  
However, sometimes some pixels of your LCD TV may not display. Pixel defects within  
industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a  
defective product.  
You see “noise” or “trash” on the screen  
When your LCD TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is  
up-converted (increased) to match your LCD TV’s display capabilities. Up-converting  
can cause noise or trash.  
Screen brightness is diminished  
Video display devices experience degradation of brightness over the life of the device.  
Normal brightness degradation is not covered by your warranty.  
You switch to a different input and the volume changes  
The LCD TV remembers the volume level from the last time you used a particular input  
(AV1, AV2/S, DVD, HDTV, TV).  
You switch to a different input and the screen size changes  
The LCD TV remembers the viewing mode from the last time you used a particular  
input (AV1, AV2/S, DVD, HDTV, TV).  
The PIP input is set to DVD but the picture does not look correct  
The PIP DVD source must be 480i (interlaced) and not 480p (progressive scan). Set your  
DVD player to interlaced or choose a different PIP source.
