CHILD SAFETY  
It makes a difference how and where you use  
your flat panel display  
As you enjoy your new product, keep these  
safety tips in mind  
The issue  
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular  
purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed  
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics  
industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.  
TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,  
chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.  
Tune into safety  
One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand  
rated for the weight of your TV.  
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for  
proper use of this product.  
Don’t let children climb on or play with entertainment system  
furniture and TVs.  
Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as  
steps, such as a crate or chest of drawers.  
Remember that children can become excited while watching  
a program, especially on a “larger-than-life” TV. Make sure  
that you place or install the TV where it cannot be pushed,  
pulled over, or knocked down.  
Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they  
cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.  
Wall mounting  
If you decide to wall mount your TV, always remember:  
One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of your  
TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this manual, or  
otherwise listed by an independent laboratory as suitable for your TV.  
Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.  
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a  
professional installer.  
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is  
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted  
to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If you are  
unsure, ask a professional installer.  
TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat  
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that  
produce heat.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or  
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one  
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and  
a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are  
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into  
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete  
outlet.  
Replacement parts

Important safety instructions  
DX-32L151A11/DX-37L130A11  
• If your TV does not operate normally by following the operating  
End of life directives  
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the  
operating instructions because incorrect adjustment of other  
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive  
work by a qualified technician to restore your TV to its normal  
operation.  
Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp containing a  
small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated  
for environmental reasons. Your TV also contains material that can be  
recycled and reused. For disposal or recycling information, contact your  
find a recycler in your area.  
• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in performance.  
Outdoor antenna grounding  
Non-active pixels  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV, make sure  
that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some  
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article  
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides  
information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and  
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna  
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the  
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and  
requirements for the grounding electrode.  
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which  
provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few  
non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red  
point. These non-active pixels do not adversely affect the performance  
of your TV, and are not considered defects.

Note to CATV system installer  
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides  
guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable  
ground must be connected to the grounding system of the building as  
close to the point of cable entry as practical.  
Condensation  
Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought from cool surroundings  
into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly.  
When this happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To prevent  
this, let the TV 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 TV is exposed to  
the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of  
the TV.  
Mobile telephone warning  
To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound, operating  
problems, or even damage, keep your cordless and cellular telephones  
away from the TV.

To aim the remote control:  
Tips:  
• Point the remote control towards the remote sensor on the front  
of your TV.  
• The brand name is often visible on the front of the universal remote  
control, and the model number is often visible on the back.  
• The codes shown above are common codes, but are subject to change.  
Please refer to Dynexproducts.com for the most up to date codes.  
• If your universal remote control isn’t listed on the chart, refer to your  
universal remote control’s instructions and try codes for the brands  
Orion, Emerson, Memorex, Sansui, Sylvania, or Zenith. You may need  
to try several codes before finding a match.

If all else fails, you must use a different universal remote control  
that can operate both your set-top box and your TV. Five such  
remotes are listed on the chart, but many other compatible  
models are available in the market.  
For more help, call technical support for your universal remote  
control or set-top box manufacturer, or call the Dynex Customer  
Care Center. For US and Canada markets, call 1-800-305-2204.

Notes:  
• Do not expose the remote control to shock or liquids.  
• Do not use the remote control in an area with high humidity.  
• Do not place the remote control in direct sunlight.  
• Do not place objects, such as furniture, between the remote control  
and the remote sensor.  
• The remote control may not work if direct sunlight or bright light  
shines on the remote sensor. Either move your TV or change the angle  
at which you use the remote control.  
Making connections  
Programming a universal remote control  
to work with your TV  
Before you make any connections:  
• Check the plugs on the ends of cables to make sure that they are  
the correct type before you try plugging them into jacks on the  
TV.  
• Make sure that all plugs are securely inserted into the jacks.  
Loose connections can result in image or color problems.  
• When connecting devices to the TV, make sure that the TV and  
the device are turned off and that the power cords are  
unplugged.
