x Guidelines for Remote Control
Before setting up
your TV
•
Point your remote control directly at the
IR sensor located on your TV.
•
Make sure that no objects are blocking
the path between the remote control and
the IR sensor on your TV.
Some TV models are packaged with a
detached Table-Top Stand so you can
mount your TV to a wall right away. See
page 21 (Using a Wall-Mount Bracket) if you
want to mount the TV to a wall. 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 (not supplied) and the
supplied screws to complete the task. Look
for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction
leaflet.
Be sure to consider the following while
setting up your TV:
•
Disconnect all cables when carrying the
TV.
Carry the TV with the adequate number
of people; larger size TVs require two or
more people.
Correct hand placement while carrying
avoid damage.
•
•
•
•
Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your
remote control; try turning off the
fluorescent lamps.
If you are having problems with the
remote control, reinsert or replace your
batteries and make sure that they are
correctly inserted.
•
•
Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation,
see page 22.
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.
