NOTE

• Antenna Isolator Installation Guide

- Use this to install TV in a place where there is a voltage difference between TV Set and GND of antenna signal.

» If there is a voltage difference between TV Set and GND of antenna signal, the antenna contact might be heated and excessive heat might cause an accident.

  • You can improve the safety when watching TV by efficiently removing power voltage from TV antenna. It is recommended to mount the isolator to the wall. If it cannot be mounted to the wall, mount it on the TV. Avoid disconnecting the antenna Isolator after installation.
  • Before starting, be sure that the TV antenna is connected.

LG 23MD53D-PZ - NOTE - 1

  1. Connect to Set-Top box.

Connect one end of the isolator to cable/antenna jack and the other to TV set or set-top box.

"Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the mains connection or through other equipment with a connection to protective earthing - and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a cable distribution system has therefore to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11)"

When applying the RF Isolator, a slight loss of signal sensitivity can occur.

WARNING

Viewing Environment

- Viewing Time

- When watching 3D contents, take 5 - 15 minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D contents for a long period of time may cause headache, dizziness, fatigue or eye strain.

Viewing Age

- Infants/Children

- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children under the age of 6 are prohibited.

- Children under the age of 10 may overreact and become overly excited because their vision is in development (for example: trying to touch the screen or trying to jump into it. Special monitoring and extra attention is required for children watching 3D contents.

- Children have greater binocular disparity of 3D presentations than adults because the distance between the eyes is shorter than one of adults. Therefore they will perceive more stereoscopic depth compared to adults for the same 3D image.

- Teenagers

- Teenagers under the age of 19 may react with sensitivity due to stimulation from light in 3D contents. Advise them to refrain from watching 3D contents for a long time when they are tired.

- Elderly

- The elderly may perceive less 3D effect compared to the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the recommended distance.

Those that have a photosensitive seizure or chronic illness

- Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a flashing light or particular pattern from 3D contents.

- Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nausea, are pregnant and/or have a chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.

- 3D Contents are not recommended to those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.

- If you have strabismus (cross-eyed), amblyopia (weak eyesight) or astigmatism, you may have trouble sensing depth and easily feel fatigue due to double images. It is advised to take frequent breaks than the average adult.

- If your eyesight varies between your right and left eye, revise your eyesight prior to watching 3D contents.

LG 23MD53D-PZ - NOTE - 1

NOTE

Avoid keeping a fixed image on the set's screen for prolonged periods of time. The fixed image may become permanently imprinted on the screen. Use a screen saver when possible.

There may be interference relating to resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in PC mode. Change the PC mode to another resolution or change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of the PC graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult the manufacturer of the PC graphic card.

The synchronization input waveform for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies are separate.

Connect the signal cable from the RGB output port of the PC to the RGB (PC) port of the TV or the signal cable from the HDMI output port of the PC to the HDMI/DVI IN port on the TV.

Connect the audio cable from the PC to the Audio input on the TV. (Audio cables are not included with the TV).

If using a sound card, adjust PC sound as required.

If the graphic card on the PC does not output analogue and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only one of either RGB or HDMI/DVI IN to display the PC output on the TV.

If the graphic card on the PC does output analogue and digital RGB simultaneously, set the TV to either RGB or HDMI. (The other mode is set to Plug and Play automatically by the TV.)

DOS mode may not work depending on the video card if you use an HDMI to DVI cable.

If you use too long an RGB-PC cable that is too long, there may be interference on the screen. We recommend using under 5 m of cable. This provides the best picture quality.

3D video input format supported.

NOTE

  • If HDMI input is received in HDMI 3D format, images are automatically converted into 3D.
  • 2D → 3D mode is available to watch for all signals.
  • If you change 2D → 3D mode, the left and right edges of the screen are clipped.
  • If you select HDMI 3D, 3D mode is automatically enabled, which may cause the delay of screen turning on.
  • For some 3D content files, if a 3D file is converted into 2D, the left and right edges of the screen may appear truncated.
