As you enjoy your new product, keep these

safety tips in mind

The issue

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular

purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed

according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics

industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,

chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.

Tune into safety

•One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand

rated for the weight of your TV.

•Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for

proper use of this product.

•Don’t let children climb on or play with entertainment system

furniture and TVs.

•Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as

steps, such as a crate or chest of drawers.

•Remember that children can become excited while watching

a program, especially on a “larger-than-life” TV. Make sure

that you place or install the TV where it cannot be pushed,

pulled over, or knocked down.

•Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they

cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

Wall mounting

If you decide to wall mount your TV, always remember:

•One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of your

TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this manual, or

otherwise listed by an independent laboratory as suitable for your TV.

•Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.

•If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a

professional installer.

•Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is

appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted

to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If you are

unsure, ask a professional installer.

•TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

Important Safety Instructions

1 Read these instructions.

2 Keep these instructions.

3Heed all warnings.

4 Follow all instructions.

5 Do not use this apparatus near water.

6 Clean only with dry cloth.

7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance

with the manufacturer's instructions.

8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)

that produce heat.

9 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 the

third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided

plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the apparatus.

11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,

or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold

with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use

caution when moving the cart/apparatus

combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when

unused for long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing

is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any

way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid

has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,

the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does

not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must

remain readily operable.

16 An apparatus with three-prong, grounding-type plug is a

Class I apparatus which needs to be grounded to prevent

possible electric shock. Make sure that you connect the

Class I apparatus to a grounding-type, three-prong outlet.

17 Remote control batteries should not be exposed to

excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.

18 The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or

splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,

should be placed on the apparatus.

Warning

Electric shock hazard

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any

cover or expose the device to rain or moisture. No

user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified

service technicians.

Lightning

For added protection for your device receiver during a

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for

long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and

disconnect any antenna or cable system. This helps prevent

property damage and personal injury from lightning and

power line surges.

Power lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the

vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power

circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.

When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care

should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or

circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Handling the LCD panel

• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or

hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD panel. If the screen

breaks, be careful of broken glass.

• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you

do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin

inflammation.

• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle, rinse,

and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in

your eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor

after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean

water.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure that the

service technician uses replacement parts specified by the

manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original

part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric

shock, personal injury, or other hazards.

Safety check

After completing any service or repair to this device, ask the

service technician to perform routine safety checks to

determine that your TV is in correct operating condition.

Power source

Operate your TV only from the type of power source indicated

on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power

supplied to your home, consult an electrician or your local

power company.

Servicing

These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service

personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not

perform any servicing other than that contained in the

operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

This symbol indicates that dangerous

voltage constituting a risk of electric

shock is present within your TV. This

label is located on the back of your TV.

This symbol indicates that there are

important operating and maintenance

instructions in the literature

accompanying your TV.

Important Safety Instructions 3

DX-32L100A13

Caution

Damage requiring service

Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer servicing to

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or

frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your

TV.

• If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.

• If your TV does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions because incorrect

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and

will often require extensive work by a qualified technician

to restore your TV to its normal operation.

• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV,

make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to

provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up

static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to correct

grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of

the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit, connection

to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding

electrode.

Note to CATV system installer

Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40

provides guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states

that the cable ground must be connected to the grounding

system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as

practical.

Condensation

Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought from cool

surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the

room rises suddenly. When this happens, the TV's performance

may be impaired. To prevent this, let the TV stand in its new

surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make

sure that the room temperature rises gradually.

Condensation may also form during the summer if the TV is

exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases,

change the location of the TV.

Mobile telephone warning

To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound,

operating problems, or even damage, keep your cordless and

cellular telephones away from the TV.

End of life directives

Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp

containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these

materials may be regulated for environmental reasons. Your TV

also contains material that can be recycled and reused. For

disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities

to find a recycler in your area.

Non-active pixels

The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors,

which provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally,

a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed

blue, green, or red point. These non-active pixels do not

adversely affect the performance of your TV, and are not

considered defects.

Making connections

What connection should I use?

Your TV has several connection types for connecting

devices to your TV.

For the best video quality, you should connect a device to

the best available connection.

Use the following tables to identify cables:

You can use the HDMI jack to connect a DVI device to your

TV. You need to attach an HDMI-to-DVI adapter to the end

of the HDMI cable that connects to the DVI device.

Cautions

• Check the jacks for position and type before

making any connections.

• Loose connections can result in image or color

problems. Make sure that all connections are

tight and secure.

• The external audio/video equipment shown

may be different from your equipment. If you

have questions, refer to the documentation that

came with your equipment.

• Always unplug the power cord when

connecting external equipment.

DX-32L100A13

Connecting power

To connect the power:

• Plug the AC power cord into an AC power outlet.

Connecting a cable or satellite box

Many cable or satellite TV boxes have more than one

connection type. To get the best video, you should use

the best connection type available. For more information,

see “What connection should I use?” on page 8.

Using HDMI (best)

To connect a cable or satellite box using HDMI:

1Turn off your TV and all connected equipment.

2Connect the incoming cable from the cable wall jack

to the cable-in jack on the cable or satellite box.

3Connect an HDMI cable (not provided) to one of the

HDMI jacks on the side of your TV and to the HDMI

OUT jack on the cable or satellite box.

4Turn on your TV, then turn on the cable or satellite

box.

Notes

• Your TV should only be operated from the

power source indicated on the label.

• Always unplug the AC power cord from the

power outlet when you will not be using your

TV for an extended period of time.

• The AC power cord is permanently attached to

the back of your TV. Do not try to pull it out.

Notes

• If the signal level for a channel is weak, the

picture may be distorted. Adjust the antenna or

use a highly directional outdoor or set-top

antenna with a built-in amplifier.

• If the picture quality is good on some channels

and poor on others, the problem may be caused

by a poor or weak signal from the broadcaster

or cable TV provider.

• If you connect to cable or satellite TV without a

set-top box and experience poor picture quality,

you may need to install a set-top box to improve

signal reception and picture quality. Contact

your cable or satellite TV provider about

upgrading to a set-top box.

• Many high-definition (HD) channels upscale

standard-definition (SD) content. The picture

displayed on your TV is still displayed as SD, thus

the picture quality will not be as clear or crisp as

it would be if the content was originally

recorded in HD.

Note

An HDMI cable carries both audio and video. You do

not need to use any audio cables.
