IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
Note: CEA is the preeminent trade association promoting growth in the $161 billion  
U.S. consumer electronics industry. More than 2,200 companies enjoy the benefits of  
CEA membership, including legislative advocacy, market research, technical training and

Preparation  
Using the remote control unit  
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on the  
TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor may  
prevent proper operation.  
Cautions regarding the 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.

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 finger-  
tightened only.  
NOTICE  
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not  
tighten F-type connector with tools.  
F-type connector  
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).

The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound  
other than the main audio for the program. This feature  
is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV  
with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound and  
Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature  
allows a TV station to broadcast other information,  
which could be audio in another language or something  
completely different like weather information.  
The types of audio transmitted in a digital broadcast  
include Language1, Language2 and Language3. In  
addition, it is possible for multiple audio tracks to  
accompany a single video track.  
Press AUDIO to toggle  
between audio modes.  
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP  
broadcasts where available.

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)  
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-Chipand Statuswill not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret  
number. (See page 44 for Secret number setting for parental control.)  
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.  
• 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.

This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
