IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL  
ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70  
• Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is  
connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna  
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against  
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the  
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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 grounding conductors, location of antenna-  
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and  
requirements for the grounding electrode.

• Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or  
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.  
Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can  
cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand,  
tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall,  
be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.  
• Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.  
• Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these  
vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not  
place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is  
not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless  
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.  
• The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or  
applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the panel breaks.  
• Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other  
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
• The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 1,049,088 pixels, giving you fine picture details.  
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that  
this does not affect the performance of your product.  
• Lightning — For added protection for this television equipment 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 equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.  
Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric  
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,  
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.  
• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or flames on the top or near the TV set.  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.  
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or splashing.  
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.  
• Do not insert foreign objects into the product. Inserting objects in the air vents or other openings may result in fire or  
electric shock. Exercise special caution when using the product around children.  
Precautions when transporting the TV  
• When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always  
carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.  
Caring for the Cabinet  
• Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the cabinet.  
Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause cracking.  
• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the cabinet.  
• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water and  
thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.  
• The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the  
cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.  
• Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids.  
Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. Plasticizers  
inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.

CHILD SAFETY  
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display  
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:  
THE ISSUE  
• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel  
displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on  
the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.  
• Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves,  
desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.  
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!  
• The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable  
and safe.  
TUNE INTO SAFETY  
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe  
installation and use of your flat panel display.  
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.  
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.  
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a  
chest of drawers.  
• Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on  
a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display  
where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.  
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display  
so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.  
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL  
DISPLAY, ALWAYS:  
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by  
an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).  
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.  
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact  
your retailer about professional installation.  
• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall  
mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block  
construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.  
• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

the TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor  
may prevent proper operation.  
Cautions regarding remote control unit  
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock.  
In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area  
with high humidity.  
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause  
deformation of the remote control unit.  
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on the TV is  
under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or  
the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.  
Antennas  
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of  
connections that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an  
F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.  
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type  
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal  
without tools (Commercially available).  
F-type connector should be  
fingertightened only.  
NOTICE  
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten  
F-type connector  
F-type connector with tools.  
If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The  
breaking of internal circuit, etc.)  
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)  
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be  
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm  
adapter (Commercially available).

Press EXIT to return to the normal screen.  
NOTE  
• To turn the Closed Caption feature off, setting the “CC  
Setting” to “Off”.  
You can enter the Closed Caption menu from setup menu.  
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed  
captions. Please look for the “ ” 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 “C1” and “C2” services display  
subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the  
program’s picture. Generally, Closed Captions in  
English are transmitted on C1 and Closed Captions in  
other languages are transmitted on C2.  
In the Closed Caption system, the “T1” or “T2”  
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.  
NOTE  
• If the program or video you selected is not closed-captioned, no captions will display on-screen.  
• If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If this happens, setting the “CC  
Setting” 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 TV 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.  
• When a Digital TV Program has both Digital Closed Caption and Analog Closed Caption signals, Digital Closed Caption is  
displayed.

Parental control (V-CHIP)  
V-CHIP might not function according to the condition of the signal from the broadcasting station.  
V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your TV. This tool gives parents a great degree of control over  
broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing  
while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your  
TV.  
V-CHIP menu will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your password.  
(See page 23 for password setting for parental control.)  
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: movie ratings and TV Parental Guidelines.  
• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate television shows  
from their children.  
• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as watched on cable  
TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.

Canadian rating systems  
• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission  
(CRTC) policy on violence in television programming.  
• While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration other  
program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes.  
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the Canadian  
French ratings.

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments  
• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly  
delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.  
• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a  
heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
