IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
CONDENSATION  
Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if  
the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, player's performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the  
player stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises  
gradually.  
Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases,  
change the location of the player.  
HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL  
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur.  
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin  
inflammation.  
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes or  
touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.  
Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD Panel for long periods of time,  
the image can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of  
damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD Panel on for long periods of time while it is  
displaying the following formats or images:  
• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.  
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal (4:3)  
display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (black  
bars on left and right sides of screen).  
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation.Therefore we disclaim any responsibility  
for these symptoms.  
• LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes parts of the  
screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots.  
This is not a sign of a malfunction.  
• Do not install the LCD Panel near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves. Some equipment  
placed too near this unit may cause interference.  
• Effect on infrared devices – There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Notes when mounting the LCD TV on a wall  
• When installing the unit on a wall, allow at least 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) clearance between the rear of the LCD TV and the wall.  
Clearance of less than 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) will obstruct the vents and may cause the interior of the unit to overheat,  
resulting in damage to the unit.  
• If the unit is to be mounted on the wall, contact the retailer where you purchased the LCD TV for advice, and have the  
equipment professionally installed. Incomplete or improper installation may cause injury to you, and/or damage to the LCD  
TV.

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?  
This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning  
will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another language.  
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the  
screen in English or another language. Generally, Closed Captions  
in English are transmitted on CC1 and Closed Captions in other  
languages are transmitted on CC2.  
Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 1/2 of the screen  
with a programming schedule or other information.

Closed Caption feature to “OFF”.  
• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approx. 10 seconds.  
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.  
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with  
Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also  
entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.  
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be seen but may  
interfere with Closed Captions.  
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.  
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may  
appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use  
an outdoor antenna.

Reception disturbances  
Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/  
UHF antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of  
television interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV is connected  
to a Cable TV system, the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.  
IGNITION  
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter  
or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition  
systems, neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as  
drills or hair dryers.  
GHOSTS  
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is  
the direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other  
large objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may  
improve the reception.  
SNOW  
If the TV is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception area  
where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.  
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external  
antenna may be necessary.  
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)  
Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving  
ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a  
loss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of  
the antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.  
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION  
A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST  
or BRIGHTNESS settings.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the TV from the power source before cleaning.  
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other  
furniture. Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
