GROUND CLAMP ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810-20) GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810-21) GROUND CLAMPS ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H)

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power lines or circuits.

How do I Clean the TV?

IMPORTANT

  1. The power cable has to be removed from the socket before cleaning the TV.
  2. Do not use volatile solvent (alcohol, rosin, and toluene) to clean the TV. These types of chemicals might damage the housing and the LED glass.

Cleaning the bezel and remote control

  1. Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.
  2. If the remote control or bezel is dirty to the point where you cannot simply dry wipe it, please lightly dampen the wiping material (the wiping material cannot be dripping wet, because if water drips into the panel it will cause malfunction and possible permanent damage to the panel which will not be covered under the warranty) with clean water and wipe again. Wipe the display with a dry micro-fiber cloth or 100% cotton cloth afterwards.

Please Note :

- Make sure you wring the water out of the cloth before cleaning the bezel or remote in order to prevent water from penetrating into the electronics.

Cleaning the Screen

  1. Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.
  2. The LED screen glass is extremely fragile. Do not scrape it with any material. Do not press or tap the screen to avoid cracking. When the screen is dirty to the point where you cannot simply dry wipe it, please lightly dampen the wiping material with clean water and wipe again. Wipe the display with a dry micro-fiber cloth or 100% cotton cloth afterwards.

The following table contains the common problems and the solutions to these problems. Please check this list before you contact the technicians.

ProblemsSolutions
NO PICTUREConnect power cord correctly.
Turn on power.
Connect video cable correctly.
Select the input signal source with proper cable connection with the source button.
ABNORMAL COLORSMatch the colors on the cables to the ports off the back of the television. I.E. red cable to red colored port.

The TV's remote sensor is also housed in the same place as the power indicator light. Please make sure there is line of sight from the remote control's front sensor to the remote sensor of the TV.
CANNOT RECEIVE SUFFICIENT CHANNELS THROUGH THE ATSC/NTSC TUNERThe TV's tuner signal must not be lower than 65%. Change the direction of your antenna and rescan your channels. If you have cable call up your cable company and ask about signal strength of your local cable.
NO COLORPlease adjust your picture setup and make sure the saturation and the RGB are not turned all the way down. For adjustment controls.
The TV's tuner signal must not be lower than 65%. Check your signal.
WEAK SIGNAL OR NO PROGRAM SYMBOL ON SCREENThe TV's tuner signal must not be lower than 65%. Change the direction of your antenna and rescan your channels. If you have cable call up your cable company and ask about signal strength of your local cable.
TV'S UNIVERSAL REMOTE CODEThis television follows NEC's universal remote code. To find the actual code you must read through your own universal remote's guide book.
TV CHANNELS ARE BLOCKEDCheck your auto lock function's settings inside the OSD. You may have locked up some channels but forgot about them.
UNIVERSAL REMOTE CODEThis TV follows NEC's universal remote code. Please check your hand book for NEC's codes then apply them.
THE TV TURNS ON OR OFF SLOWLY AND THE SCREEN SHOWS UP SLOWLYThis TV is a High Definition liquid crystal display panel TV. It requires a few more seconds than normal TVs to power up and show the picture.
NO SOUND ON PCMake sure you have a 3.5 mm mini-jack cable connected from your pc's sound output to the TV's VGA STEREO INPUT.
HDCP VIDEO SAYS NO HDCP SUPPORTReboot your HDCP video device but turning them off and unplugging the power cord. Wait up to 8 minutes to plug the power back in to see if it works or not.
HDCP VIDEO HAS NO AUDIOMake sure you have a 3.5 mm mini-jack cable connected from your HDCP video device's sound output to the TV's VGA STEREO INPUT. If your HDCP video device uses RCA AUDIO jacks, you'll need to obtain a RCA audio converted into 3.5 mm mini-jack cable.
CANNOT GET 1360X768 ON PC VGAMake sure the TV is recognized as plug and play monitor. Try updating your video card's drivers as well. If that does not help, most likely you'll need to upgrade your video card to a newer one.
PICTURE IS DISTORTED OR HAS ABNORMAL SOUNDThis might be from interference from large electrical appliances, cars, motorcycles, or fluorescent lights. If the TV is close to the wall, try moving the TV to another room in your house to see if the problem still occurs.
PICTURE DOES NOT COVER THE ENTIRE SCREENIf you're using HDMI or a TV digital channel make sure you use the ASPECT button to switch to 16:9 format. If you are using VGA, use the AUTO ADJUST function to adjust to the screen. Please Note : If you are using regular analog TV, AV, or component in 480i resolution, use the ASPECT button to switch to 16:9 in order to fill up the screen. Please Note : This note this feature will distort the picture.
PICTURE QUALITY IS HORRIBLE!!For best image quality, view HD widescreen programs where possible. If HD content is not available view "Standard Definition" from a digital source. Standard, analog TV will always be noticeable inferior to HD because your TV has video that is many times better than old TV's and so you can see interference and deficiencies you did not KNOW you had.
PICTURE HAS PIXELS THAT ARE ALWAYS DISPLAYING THE SAME COLORYour TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your TV may not display. Pixels defects within industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.
I CANNOT CHANGE THE TIME MANUALLYYour TV syncs time automatically according to your local TV channel. This function only works while the TV's tuner is connected to an ANTENNA.
BIG BLACK BOX IN THE MIDDLE OF SCREENYou have turned on closed captioning and are using TEXT1 - TEXT4. Change the setting to CC1 or turn off closed captioning and the box will disappear.
SWITCHING A CHANNEL OR SOURCE CHANGES THE VOLUMEDifferent channels and inputs will sometimes have this effect because the channel signal's own volume is already loud. There is no way remove this completely. The TV has an AUTO VOLUME LEVEL function that can combat this type of effect. Please make sure that function is turned on.
THERE IS NOISE OR TRASH PIXELS ON THE SCREENWhen your TV's resolution is higher than the digital channel's broadcast resolution, the signal is up-converted to match your TV's resolution. Up-converting can cause this type of effect.
TIPS FOR HIGH DEFINITION USERSThe TV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content. The best image quality can be achieved by HDMI, YPbPr (Component), then VGA. However, due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions can occur.
TIPS FOR LETTERBOX CONTENT USERSLetterboxed (Widescreen) versions of DVD movies are most commonly formatted for standard 4:3 TVs. The TV has the capability of expanding this content so the entire screen is filled at the expense of the image proportion. To use this function press the aspect button on the remote control and cycle among the available options.
I CANNOT FIND THE VOLUME AND CHANNEL CHANGING BUTTONSThe buttons are represented by the ▲▼◀▶ buttons located on the remote control. ▲▼ changes the channels and ◀▶ changes the volume.
TV TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY AFTER 5 MINUTESThe TV features a power saving mode which will automatically turn off the TV, if there's no signal provided for more than 5 minutes.
