Important safety instructions

CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within your TV's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert you to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying your TV.

Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your TV to rain or moisture.

Warning: Your TV utilizes tin-lead solder and fluorescent lamps containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eia.org.

Warning: For continued safety, your TV should be connected to a power outlet that is correctly grounded.

1 Read these instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before you use your TV.

2 Keep these instructions—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.

3 Heed all warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

4 Follow all instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.

5 Do not use your TV near water—For example, do not use near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature to a high temperature environment, because this causes condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

6 Cleaning — Unplug your TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

7 Ventilation—Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the these instructions. The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings because insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and shorten the life of your TV. Do not place your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface because they can block ventilation openings. Your TV is not designed for built-in installation. Do not place your TV in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack unless correct ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.

8 Heat sources Do not install near radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9 Ground or polarization—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 third prong are provided for your safety. If the plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Power cord protection—Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from your TV.

Note: The power plug is the disconnect device for your TV. Make sure that the plug is easy to access.

11 Attachments—Only use attachments or accessories specified by the manufacturer. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of incorrect attachments can result in accidents.

12 Stand—Use only the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with your TV. Do not place your TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. Placing your TV on an unstable base can cause your TV to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries, as well as damage to your TV. When mounting your TV on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

13 Move carefully—When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart and TV combination to avoid injury from a tip-over. Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven floor surfaces can cause your TV to fall from the stand. Never attempt to move your TV unless the power cord has been disconnected.

14 Lightning—Unplug your TV and disconnect the antenna during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to your TV from lightning and power-line surges.

15 Servicing—Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when your TV has been damaged in any way, such as when the power cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV, your TV has been exposed to rain or moisture, your TV does not operate normally, or your TV has been dropped.

16 Replacement parts—In case your TV needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or parts with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock, or other danger.

17 Overloading—Do not overload power outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles on other equipment because overloading can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18 Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows into the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on your TV.

19 Damage requiring service—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the power outlet and have a qualified service person perform repairs. Examples of damages requiring repairs are:

• When the power cord or plug is damaged.
• When a liquid is spilled on your TV or when objects have fallen into your TV.
• When your TV has been exposed to rain or water.
• When your TV does not operate correctly as described in the operating instructions. Do not adjust controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Incorrect adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.
• If your TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged in any way.
• When your TV displays an abnormal condition or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Any noticeable abnormality in your TV indicates that it needs servicing.

20 Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in correct operating condition.
21 Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting your TV on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install your TV according to the method recommended by the manufacturer. This is a safety issue.
22 Power source—Your TV is intended to be supplied by a listed power supply indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your TV dealer or local power company. For added protection for your TV during a lightning storm or when your TV is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to your TV from lightning and power line surges. When your TV has to be used with another power supply voltage, the power cable must be changed. Consult your TV dealer. The power outlet should be installed near your TV and easily accessible. Use only the power cord designated by your dealer to ensure safety and EMC. When connecting other products, such as VCRs and computers, you should turn off the TV to protect against electric shock.
23 Panel protection—The display panel used in your TV is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when your TV is dropped or hit by other objects. Be careful to avoid being injured by broken glass pieces in case the display panel breaks.
24 Pixel defect—The display panel is a high-technology product that gives you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points of blue, green, or red. This is not a defect and does not affect the performance of your TV.
25 Temperature—Do not use in hot and cold rooms or locations.

• Do not leave your TV in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave your TV in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater. This may cause the cabinet to warp and the screen to malfunction.
  Storage temperature: 32^ to 122^ (0^ to 50^)
• Working temperature: 41^ to 104^ ( 5^ to 40^ )

26 After image—Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, because this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext, and images displayed in 4:3 mode. This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible screen deterioration can be limited by observing the following:

• Reduce the brightness and contrast settings to a minimum viewing level.
• Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
• Turn off the power when not in actual use.

Cautions: The permanent after-image on the screen resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and is not covered by the warranty. Your TV is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.

Changing channels

Digital sub-channels

A digital TV signal transmits more data than an analog signal. This increase in data provides a better picture and sound with less static and interference.

The increased data capacity of a digital signal also lets broadcasters fit several channels into the same bandwidth as an analog signal. Broadcasters may use these sub-channels to transmit a variety of information, such as weather forecasts, foreign languages, commercials.
