• Serial No. ____________ 2007-02-13 1:43:03 Precautions When Displaying a Still Image A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen
• Do not display a still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is also known as "screen burn". To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image. Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen. Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
• Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images. To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images. Précautions à prendre lors de l’affichage d’une image fixe Une image fixe peut causer des dommages irrémédiables à l’écran du téléviseur.

Lift the cover at the back of the remote control upward as shown in the figure.

Install two AAA size batteries. Make sure to match the "+" and "–" ends of the batteries with the diagram inside the compartment.

Replace the cover. Remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place if you won’t be using the remote control for a long time. The remote control can be used up to about 23 feet from the TV. (Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries should last for about one year.) If the remote control doesn’t work, check the following:

1. Is the TV power on?

2. Are the plus and minus ends of the batteries reversed?

3. Are the batteries drained?

4. Is there a power outage, or is the power cord unplugged?

5. Is there a special fluorescent light or neon sign nearby?

Connections Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas If your antenna has a set of leads that look like the diagram to the right, see "Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads" below. If your antenna has one lead that looks like diagram to the right, see "Antennas with 75 Ω Round Leads". If you have two antennas, see "Separate VHF and UHF Antennas". Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or "rabbit ears") that has 300 Ω twin flat leads, follow the directions below.

1. Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 Ω adapter

(not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
