Tip
To access the setup menus manually, press MENU and choose Setup.

How to Use the Remote Control to Complete the Initial Setup

The technical term is “Navigation” – how you move through the on-screen menus. The theory is the same throughout the menu screens: highlight your choice and select it.

To highlight a menu item, press the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight one of the items listed on the screen. Use the up or down arrow button to move up or down. Use the right or left arrow button to view other selections for a menu choice or to display a sub-menu. More than one selection displays, for example, On...; a menu choice with a sub-menu displays dots (...).

Note: Highlighted means that the menu item stands out from other menu items on the list (appears darker, brighter, or a different color).

Complete the Initial Setup

The menu system in your TV allows the TV's features to work properly. The first time you turn on your TV, the language screen appears.

Set the Menu Language

The first part of the setup allows you to select your preferred language for the menu system.

If English is your preferred language, press OK. To choose another language, press the down arrow button until that language is highlighted, and press OK.

Complete Channel Setup

Make sure you've connected the TV to cable and/or an off-air signal before you start the next part of the setup.

Set the Signal Type

If you connected Cable to your ANTENNA/CABLE jack, the option is chosen for you and you can press the down arrow button to continue. To choose Antenna, press the right arrow button and then press the down arrow button to continue.

If you have analog and digital channels, the TV's search might take longer since it is looking for both.

Once a channel search is complete, the Channel setup menu looks like this.

Complete the Channel Search

With Auto Channel Search highlighted, press OK to begin the channel search.

There are several things to be aware of when the TV's searches for channels.

If you chose Cable as your signal type, the search takes a while because it's looking for analog and digital channels, and then it's removing scrambled channels found. Here is what happens during the search:

1. The search first looks for digital channels and places the number of channels found next to Digital Channels found. This number will probably seem like a lot. This is because the number includes both scrambled (for example, Pay Per View) and non-scrambled channels. These channels are dependent upon what your cable company is sending.

2. The search then looks for analog channels and places the number of channels found next to Analog Channels found.

3. The search might appear as if it is complete, but as long as the search says Running, it is still in progress. What's happening at this point is the TV is removing scrambled channels from the channel list. When the search is finally complete, the Channel setup menu will look like the picture to the left. To exit the menu system, press CLEAR.

You might find there are still some channels in your list that are unavailable to view. To get rid of these channels, press MENU and choose Setup. Highlight and select List and Labels. Note that removing channels from your channel list may be time consuming, so you might want to do it later. Go to page 36 for details on editing your channel list.

What To Expect

Watching TV

- Remember: Look for an A at the bottom of the screen to see if you're watching an analog channel.

Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, which your TV displays these channels in a 16/9 format. Press the ZOOM+/- button to view the different formats available. Go to page 32 for more explanation of screen formats.

- Remember: Look for a D at the bottom of the screen to see if you're watching a digital channel.

Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fill your screen, but sometimes is sent in 4/3 which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or source device is formatting the video. If there are bars on-screen, press the ZOOM+/- button to try a different format that may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. Go to page 32 for more explanation of screen formats.

A 10 CBS

Look for the A at the bottom of the screen to see if you're watching an analog channel.

D 10-1 CBS

Look for the D at the bottom of the screen to see if you're watching a digital channel.

Changing Channels

• Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and sub-channels. To tune to a digital channel with a sub-channel, such as 10-1 as shown in the graphic to the left, enter the primary channel number (10), then press either the right arrow or the SUB CII button. Enter the sub-channel number (1) and press OK.
• Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you might notice that the channels change slower than you're used to. This is perfectly normal. Digital cable channels sometimes take longer to tune.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Devices

The universal remote can be programmed to operate many brands of remote-controllable VCRs, audio devices, DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and other devices. In addition to being programmed to operate your television, it's already programmed to operate some RCA devices.

Notes: The TV button can't be programmed on this remote to control any device; it controls only this TV.

The remote may not be compatible with all models of all brands of devices. It also may not operate all functions of your device.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to operate one of the devices connected to your TV, such as a VCR, do the following:

1. Turn on the device (in this example, a VCR).
2. Point the remote at the device.
3. Press the corresponding device button (in this example, VCR).
4. Press ON•OFF to see if the VCR responds. If the VCR doesn't respond, you need to program the remote to operate it.

You'll use these darkened buttons for Direct Entry.

Programming the Remote

There are three ways to program the remote control to operate other devices: Direct Entry, Manual Code Search, and Automatic Code Search. If you have recently purchased the device you want to control or if the device has many codes, you might want to try the manual code search first.

Using Direct Entry

1. Turn on the device you want to control.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the device in the code list at the end of this section.
3. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.
4. Press and release the device button (SAT•AUX or DVD) you want to program.
5. Enter a three digit code from the code list.
6. To test the code you've programmed for that device button, point the remote at the device and then press ON•OFF to see if the device responds to the remote control.

If the device turns off, you've entered the correct programming code for your device. Circle the code you entered for future reference.

If the device doesn't turn off, repeat these steps until you've tested all codes for your device's brand or try to run a manual code search.

Using Manual Code Search

Note: Before using manual code search, you must use Direct Entry first. This lets the remote know which type of device to begin searching codes. Then proceed with the following steps.

1. Turn on the device you want to control.
2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.
3. Press and release the device button (SAT•AUX or DVD) you want to program.
4. Repeatedly press and release the ON•OFF button, watching for the device to respond. If it does turn off, press and release the OK button within 3 seconds to save the code. If you accidentally passed the code before saving it, press the left arrow button to backtrack through the codes; then use the right arrow button to go forward through the codes again.

When all codes have been searched, the device button flashes 3 times, then the remote exits manual code search and returns to normal operation.

Using Automatic Code Search

1. Turn on the device you want to control.
2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold ON•OFF and MUTE (approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.
3. Press and release the device button you want to program.

continued on next page...

1. Press and release the ON•OFF button once. There is a delay of approximately 6 seconds before the remote starts the code search.

The device buttons blinks each time the remote control sends a code to test with your device. Keep pointing the remote at the device.

1. Once the device turns off, quickly press the OK button to save the code.
2. If you accidentally passed the code before saving it, press the left arrow button to backtrack through the codes; then use the right arrow button to go forward through the codes again.

When all codes have been searched, the device button flashes 3 times, then the remote exits automatic code search and returns to normal operation.

How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It

Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to operate your devices.

To operate the device:

1. Press the appropriate device button (SAT•AUX or DVD) to set the remote to control the device, for example, press DVD to control your DVD player.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the device ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that device.

Note: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of devices.

Modes of Operation

The button corresponding to the mode the remote is in lights up when you press any button that works in that mode. For example, if you're in TV mode and you press the VOL+ button, the TV button lights up. This tells you that the command to increase the volume is being sent to the TV (and not the satellite receiver, for example).

Volume Punchthrough Feature

You may find this feature helpful if you've connected your devices to an audio system, and you want to use the TV's remote control to operate the volume for a device that is connected to the audio system. An example follows:

Let's say you've connected your DVD player to your audio system. You've also programmed your TV remote control to operate your DVD player. Since the DVD player sends its volume through the audio system, you would have to bounce back and forth between two remote controls: the audio system's remote to adjust the volume and the TV's remote control to operate the DVD player.

The Volume Punchthrough feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote controls and saves a button press when you're using the TV remote to adjust the volume. In effect, you are telling the TV remote to retrieve and send volume commands from the audio system whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode.

Therefore, after you've successfully set up the Volume Punchthrough feature, whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode (press the DVD button) and you want to adjust the volume, you only have to press the VOL +/- or MUTE buttons. Follow the instructions below to set up Volume Punchthrough.

1. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.
2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the device button blinks off, then release the MUTE button.
3. Press and release the device button that you programmed to operate the audio system (receiver or amplifier).
4. Press and release the MUTE button.
5. Now, test it by turning on your audio system.
6. Turn on the device that is connected to the audio system (satellite receiver, for example).
7. Put the TV's remote in SAT•AUX mode by pressing the SAT•AUX button.
8. Press VOL+ or VOL-. The volume from the audio system should increase or decrease accordingly.

Deleting ALL Volume Punchthrough Commands

To delete all programmed Volume Punchthrough settings and return the remote control back to the factory defaults:

1. Simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.
2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the device button blinks off, then release the MUTE button.
3. Press and release the MUTE button until the device button light turns off.
4. The remote returns to normal Volume/Mute control.

Parental Controls and V-Chip

The choices in the US V-Chip and Canada V-Chip menus involve software inside your TV (referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs and movies. TV programs can be blocked by age-based ratings, such as TV-MA, which is explained on page 30. If available, TV programs can also be blocked by content, such as adult language (L). This is explained on page 30. Movies can only be blocked by age-based ratings. This is explained on page 31.

Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.

By default, the software inside your TV is turned off or unlocked. For instructions to lock V-Chip, see below.

Note: Parental control settings are not available for HDMI1, HDMI2, CMP1, or CMP2 inputs. These settings must be set in the connected device's parental controls.

How V- Chip Works for USA and Canada

V-Chip reads the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message This channel is blocked. Change channel or press OK to enter your password and temporarily deactivate the parental controls.

Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given an Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated. Go to page 44 for the US and Canada ratings explanations.

Lock/Unlock Parental Controls

Selecting this option lets you lock and unlock parental controls settings using a password.

If you do not lock parental controls, none of the settings for V-Chip, Channel Block, or Front Panel Block will take effect.

If you forget your password, turn off the TV. Simultaneously press and hold VOL v on the side panel and CLEAR on the remote for 10 seconds. Next time you enter the Parental control menu enter a new password.

The V-Chip Rating Screen

The following is an example of where items are located within the Rating Limit screen.

Hierarchy of Age-Based Ratings
TV-MA	Mature Audience Only
TV-14	Parents Strongly Cautioned
TV-PG	Parental Guidance Suggested
TV-G	General Audience
TV-Y7	Directed to Children 7 years and older
TV-Y	All Children

US V-Chip TV Ratings

Blocking Age-Based Ratings

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based rating level.

1. Choose Parental control from the Main Menu. If Parental controls have previously been locked, you must enter your password.
2. Highlight and select US V-Chip. Then select TV ratings.
3. Press the up or down arrow button to scroll to the rating corresponding with the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch.
4. Press the OK button to toggle between View and Block. The status for the rating and all higher ratings automatically changes to Block.
5. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight Go back and press OK.
6. Select Lock Parental Controls from the Parental Control menu for rating limits to take effect.

Note: If you forget your password, turn off the TV.

Simultaneously press and hold VOL v on the side panel and CLEAR on the remote for 10 seconds. Next time you enter the Parental control menu enter a new password.

To view age-based ratings after you've locked them, follow the same steps as above to unlock.

Content Themes
D	Sexually explicit dialogue
L	Adult language
S	Sexual situations
V	Violence
FV	Fantasy Violence

Blocking Specific Content Themes

You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the D, L, S, V and FV on your screen.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.

To block program content:

1. Determine the content themes you want to block.
2. Press the down arrow button to scroll to the rating whose content theme you want to change.
3. Press the right arrow button to move the highlight to a particular content theme.
4. Press the OK button to change its status to lock. (In the example to the left, you block the language (L) corresponding with TV-14. The language for TV-MA is blocked as well.)

Notes: Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes or age-based ratings.

You must remember to lock Parental controls for rating limits to take effect.

To view content theme after you've locked them, follow the same steps as above to unlock. Note that if you unlock the language corresponding with TV-14, the language for TV-MA doesn't unlock. You have to unlock the content theme status for each rating separately.

Blocking Canadian V-Chip Ratings

If you receive Canadian programs you can block Canadian English and French V-Chip by ratings only. When you block a particular rating, you automatically block the higher rated programs as well.

To block Canadian English and French program ratings:

1. Select Canada V-Chip from the Parental control menu.
2. Highlight English ratings or French ratings and press OK.
3. Determine the rating you want to block.
4. Press the down arrow button to scroll to the rating you want to change.
5. Press the OK button to change its status to block (all ratings above the one you selected change to block).

V-Chip Movie Rating Limit

Set movie rating limits by blocking movies rated above a specified level.

To access the Movie Rating Limit menu:

1. Press MENU on the remote control (the TV's Main Menu appears).
2. Select Parental Control.
3. Select US V-Chip.
4. Select Movie Ratings.

Blocking Movie Ratings

Once you are in the Movie Ratings menu, follow the same steps described for blocking Canadian ratings.

Block Channels

Turn this option on to block the channel you choose in the Select Channel option.

Use the number buttons to enter the channel you want to block, then press the down arrow button. Press OK to place a check mark in the Block Channel box to block the channel. When you tune to that channel you'll need to enter a password to view the channel if the TV is locked.

Front Panel Block

Select this option to block (disable) or unblock (enable) the TV's side panel buttons so that they can't be used by someone, like a young child. The remote still tunes to any channel. If you're using this to keep children from changing channels, remove access to any remote that is capable of operating the television while you have the front panel blocked.

Don't forget to lock parental controls after you change the status. If you don't, the front panel block will not take effect.

Blocking Unrated/Exempt Programs

The Unrated/Exempt Ratings option lets you decide if programs that the V-Chip recognizes as unrated or exempt can be viewed. Unrated TV programs may include news, sports, political, religious, local and weather programs, emergency bulletins, public announcements, and programs without ratings. The Exempt option applies to both USA and Canadian unrated programs and Canadian programs rated E.

View All unrated programs are available.

Block All unrated programs are not available.

Note: You must remember to lock Parental controls for rating limits to take effect.

Press the down arrow button to highlight Unrated/Exempt Ratings. Then press the right arrow button to toggle between View and Block.

Future Rating Region

You might notice an option in your Parental control menu that wasn't there before. This is because broadcasters have the capability to add a new rating system for TV programs. These ratings let you define additional parameters for parental controls. This option and its name are dependent on the content acquired from the broadcaster.

Note: These ratings are available only if the broadcaster is sending them.

Additional Features

There are additional features available unrelated to Parental Controls. These features can be found in other menus.

Picture Processing

With a focus on exceptional picture performance, all RCA models feature Enhanced Natural Vision (EN-V). EN-V picture processing is designed to provide enhanced color and contrast so you can enjoy a bright, crisp picture.

Go to page 35 to adjust picture settings.

Screen Formats

Screen format is the way the picture is displayed on your TV. Press the ZOOM +/- button on your remote to see if a different format is available for the video you are viewing. The format changes as you press the ZOOM buttons and the format type is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, which your TV displays in a 16/9 format. Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fill your screen, but sometimes is sent in 4/3 which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is formatting the video. If there are bars on-screen, press the ZOOM +/- button to try a different format that may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster.

The different formats available and what they look like follow. Each format is available for analog video, but might not be available for digital video.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What's the quickest way to view High Defi nition (HD) video?

Connect an off-air antenna to the ANTENNA/CABLE Input to view free local digital channels. You might need to purchase an antenna. Go to page 6 for more information.

Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local digital channels available to you. By entering where you live, this mapping program tells you what local analog and digital stations are available using a certain antenna.

Are there other ways to view High Defi nition (HD) video?

Besides using an off-air antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a set-top box to receive digital video. Contact your cable company or satellite provider to purchase digital programming and have them connect the box for you to ensure you're viewing channels the best way.

How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?

Press the INFO button to display the channel banner. Look at the bottom left corner of the screen. An A is displayed for an analog channel. A D is displayed for a digital channel.

Why are there bars on my screen and can I get rid of them?

Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fill your screen, but sometimes is sent in 4/3 which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is formatting the video. If there are bars on-screen, press the ZOOM +/- button to try a different format that may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. The format changes as you press the ZOOM buttons and the format type is displayed at the bottom of the screen. For more information on screen formats, go to page 32.

Why does channel search find a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them there's nothing there?

Some channels are enabled by the cable company that don't carry programming, such as video-on-demand. When channels are unavailable, your TV's screen is blank or appears like snow. You probably want to get rid of these so they no longer appear in your channel list. Remove these in the Channel List menu. Go to page 36 for more information.

Why does the first channel search take a long time?

If you have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all available channels in the channel list. If you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching for scrambled channels, non-scrambled channels, and each sub-channel of that digital channel.

Troubleshooting

Most problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following troubleshooting list.

TV Problems

TV won't turn on

• Make sure the TV is plugged in.
- Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is "live" by plugging in something else.
- The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by selecting the Front Panel Block in the Parental control menu and press OK to uncheck the box.

No picture, no sound but TV is on

• You might be tuned to an input with no device connected to it to view. If you're trying to view a connected device, press INPUT until the picture from that device appears.
• Maybe the Signal Type option is set incorrectly. Go to page 14 for detailed instructions.
• The channel might be blank — change channels.
• If you're watching your VCR and it's connected with coaxial cable to the ANTENNA/CABLE jack, tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is selected on the 3/4 switch on the back of your VCR). Also check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR button on your VCR).

Sound okay, picture poor

• If you're getting a black and white picture from a device you've connected to your TV, you might have your video cables connected to the wrong jacks. A yellow Video cable connects to the yellow VIDEO input jack on the side or back of your TV; three video cables or bundled component video cables (red, blue, and green) connect to the corresponding COMPONENT INPUT jacks on the back of your TV.
• If you're getting no picture from a device you've connected to your TV, you might have your video cable connected to the VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the back of your TV. These jacks are used to connect recording devices. A yellow Video cable connects to the yellow VIDEO input jack on the side or back of your TV.
• Check antenna connections. Make sure all of the cables are firmly connected to the jacks.
• Try adjusting sharpness function to improve weak signals. Go to page 35 for more instructions.

No sound, picture okay

• Maybe the sound is muted. Try pressing the volume up button to restore sound.
• If using DVI, S-Video, or Y, PB, PR, remember to also connect the device's left and right audio output jacks to the TV's L and R Audio Input jacks.
• The sound settings may not be set correctly. Go to page 33 for more information.
• The internal speakers might be turned off. Go to page 34 for more information.

Blank screen

• Check your connections. If you used yellow, red, and white cables to connect, make sure they're connected to the yellow, red, and white VIDEO INPUT jacks on the side or back of the TV, not to the VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on the back of the TV.
• If you're trying to watch something that's playing on a device connected to the TV (like a DVD), press INPUT until you get to the correct video input channel.
• Make sure the device connected to the TV is turned on.
• Try another channel.

Buttons don't work

• The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by selecting the Front Panel Block in the Parental control menu and press OK to uncheck the box.
• Unplug the TV for ten minutes and then plug it back in. Turn the TV on and try again.

TV turns off unexpectedly

• Sleep timer may have been activated. Go to page 39 for instructions.
• Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally high or low.
• Unplug. Wait ten minutes. Plug in again.

TV turns on unexpectedly

- Wake up timer might have been activated. Go to page 39 for instructions.

Can't select certain channel

• Channel may be blocked or not approved in the Parental Controls menu.
• If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR button on your VCR).
• Press the TV button and then try to change channels.

Noisy stereo reception

- May be a weak station. Use Sound menu to choose mono sound.

Black box appears on the screen

- Closed-captioning might be on. Check Closed Caption in the Setup menu. Go to page 37 for more instructions.

Problems with HDMI Connection

• Make sure the HDMI or DVI device is turned on and the cables are firmly connected. If problems still occur, turn off your device. Re-connect your device. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in.
• If you are tuned to the HDMI 1 or 2 input and you're receiving Unusable Signal message on-screen, press the INFO button on the remote. If Acquiring Channel appears in the channel banner, the HDMI or DVI device isn't responding. Contact the manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI device for further assistance.
• If you tune to the HDMI 1 or 2 input and you see snow, the video goes in and out, or the video takes a long time to appear, your HDMI or DVI device is having trouble sending video information to the TV. Re-connect your device. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in. If problems persist, try connecting the Y Pb Pr jacks instead if they are available or contact the manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI device for further assistance.
• If you have black bars on each side of your picture, the device you connected might have a switch or a menu option allowing you to change the picture quality output that will fix this. Choose either 720p or 1080i.
• 480i signals aren't supported by the HDMI1/DVI or HDMI2 input.

The Remote Control Doesn't Work

• Something might be between the remote and the remote light sensor on the front of the TV. Make sure there is a clear path.
• Maybe the remote isn't aimed directly at the TV.
• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note, if you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other devices.)

Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls

The rating limits don't work

- You must lock the settings. Go to the Main Menu (press MENU on your remote), select Parental control, select Lock Parental Controls.

I don't remember my password and I want to unlock the TV

- If you forget your password, turn the TV off. Simultaneously press and hold VOL v on the side panel and CLEAR on the remote for 10 seconds. Next time you enter the Parental control menu enter a new password

The V-Chip won't let me watch a program even though it's not rated as violent.

- Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set NR to View separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.

What Else Can I Do?

If you've been through the Troubleshooting section and nothing has fixed your problem, try rebooting your TV. Note that after a reboot you may need to run your TV through the setup process again. To do a reboot, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, power strip, etc. Keep your TV unplugged for about 5 minutes. Then plug the TV back in, turn on the TV, and see if the problem is fixed. If the problem remains, then please visit www.rca.com/television for updated FAQs or contact RCA Customer Support at the support number provided in your Warranty under How To Get Service.

Mounting Your TV to the Wall

Caution: The wall mount must bear a minimum of five times the TV's net weight without causing damage.

To mount your TV to the wall you need to purchase a VESA wall mount. For models L37WD22 and L42WD22, purchase a VESA 400 x 400, M6 x 10mm; and model L46WD22 purchase a VESA 600 x 400, M6 x 10mm (400 x 400, for example, means the mounting measurements are 400mm horizontally and 400mm vertically; M6 x 10mm is the type screw that needs to be used).

1. You need to remove the base first before attaching the wall mount.

A. Place the TV facedown on a surface that is soft, yet strong enough to hold the TV.
B. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws from the four holes on each side of the bottom of the TV's base as the arrows indicate to the left.
2. Make sure all cables are already connected to the TV.
3. Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.

You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.

IMPORTANT: Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV.

The TV's screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water. While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also, never place drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV.
