Carrying the TV  
Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount it to a wall right away.  
If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a  
Phillips screwdriver and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the instructions attached to the  
TV unit.  
Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:

Carry the TV with an adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.  
Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damages.  
Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation if it is installed against a wall or in an enclosed area.  
For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.  
Avoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.  
Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may  
cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color.  
Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely before powering the TV on.  
z
Be sure to hold the bottom of the panel, and not the transparent part, speaker, or speaker grill  
area. Do not compress the panel's speaker grill area.  
z
Do not lift the TV from the bottom center.

screws provided with the TV.  
2) Place the Table-Top Stand on a level and stable surface.  
3) Gently slide the TV unit onto the neck of the Table-Top Stand and align the screw holes.  
Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the frame around the screen.

Top Stand.  
4) Use the supplied screws to attach the TV unit to the Table-Top Stand (refer to the “Attaching the Table-

Sufficient expertise is required in installing this TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall  
for withstanding the TV’s weight.  
Be sure to use the screws supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket when attaching the mounting  
hooks to the TV set. The supplied M6 screws are designed so that they are 12 mm to 16 mm in  
length when measured from the attaching surface of the mounting hook. The diameter and length  
of the screws differ depending on the Wall-Mount Bracket model. Use of screws other than those  
supplied may result in internal damage to the TV set or cause it to fall, etc.

attach the Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from small children.

Cable or VHF/UHF (or VHF only)  
This TV is capable of receiving unscrambled digital programming for both cable (QAM and 8VSB) and  
external VHF/UHF antenna (ATSC).  
It is strongly recommended that you connect the CABLE/ANTENNA input using a 75-ohm coaxial cable  
to receive optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected by radio  
frequency interference, resulting in signal degradation.  
Cable System and VHF/UHF Antenna System  
Use an optional A-B RF switch (not supplied) to switch between the cable and  
over-the-air antenna programming.  
Be sure to set the Cable setting to Cable or Antenna in the Channel menu for the type of input  
signal you choose.
