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.

CHILD SAFETY

It makes a difference how and where you use

your flat panel display

Important safety instructions

1Read these instructions.

2Keep these instructions.

3Heed all warnings.

4Follow all instructions.

5Do not use this apparatus near water.

6Clean only with a dry cloth.

7Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with

the manufacturer's instructions.

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

registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that

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 a 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 a 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 this Class I television

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.

Warnings

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.

Cautions

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.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

Important safety instructions 3

DX-32L151A11/DX-37L130A11

• 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 or the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eia.org 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.

Programming a universal remote control

to work with your TV

You can operate your TV with a new or existing universal remote

control.

To program your existing universal remote control:

1To program your existing remote control to work with your Dynex

TV, see the table below for common codes. If you have problems

programming your remote, or need a different remote control

code, visit www.dynexproducts.com for the latest remote control

code information.

Codes for other remote controls are available online at:

http://www.dynexproducts.com/universalcontrolcodes.aspx

Tips:

• The brand name is often visible on the front of the universal remote

control, and the model number is often visible on the back.

• The codes shown above are common codes, but are subject to change.

Please refer to Dynexproducts.com for the most up to date codes.

• If your universal remote control isn’t listed on the chart, refer to your

universal remote control’s instructions and try codes for the brands

Orion, Emerson, Memorex, Sansui, Sylvania, or Zenith. You may need

to try several codes before finding a match.

2Follow your universal remote control’s instructions to enter the

code you found in Step 1.

Tips:

• If your universal remote control has a code search feature, run a code

search to identify a code that matches your TV. See your universal

remote control’s instructions for details.

• If your universal remote control has a “learn” feature, you can

manually program it using your TV remote to “teach” the commands

one at a time. See your universal remote control’s instructions for

details.

3If all else fails, you must use a different universal remote control

that can operate both your set-top box and your TV. Five such

remotes are listed on the chart, but many other compatible

models are available in the market.

4For more help, call technical support for your universal remote

control or set-top box manufacturer, or call the Dynex Customer

Care Center. For US and Canada markets, call 1-800-305-2204.

For Mexico markets, call 01-800-926-3020.

Making connections

Before you make any connections:

• Check the plugs on the ends of cables to make sure that they are

the correct type before you try plugging them into jacks on the

TV.

• Make sure that all plugs are securely inserted into the jacks.

Loose connections can result in image or color problems.

• When connecting devices to the TV, make sure that the TV and

the device are turned off and that the power cords are

unplugged.

Selecting a location

You should select a location for the TV:

• Where direct light does not reflect on the screen

• That has indirect and soft lighting

• Where the TV has access to an antenna or cable TV connection

• Where the TV has access to a power outlet

Note: Watching TV in total darkness or with a reflection on the screen

may cause eye strain.

Connecting the power

To connect the power cord:

• Connect the power cable to the AC IN jack on the back of the TV,

then connect the other end to a power outlet.
