CHILD SAFETY
It makes a difference how and where you use
your flat panel display
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 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.

Power lines

Cautions

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

Damage requiring service

• 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

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.

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.

Safety Information

End of life directives

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

Your TV contains tin-lead solder. Disposal of this material 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.

To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound,
operating problems, or even damage, keep your cordless and
cellular telephones away from the TV.

Introduction

Game mode

Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality connected
Insignia product. Your NS-32E859A11 or NS-42E859A11
represents the start of the art in LED connected TV design. We
have created an experience that is easy to use, easy to connect,
and easy to find.

Insignia Motion 120Hz

Easy to use

With a 120Hz screen, a screen with 1,080 lines of resolution
progressively scanned, and special motion-detection
technology, you will be experiencing a picture with clearer
detail, brightness, smoother transitions, judder-free and
reduced motion blurring, particularly when watching
fast-motion sports and action scenes. (See page 42 for
instructions on how to adjust the TV picture.)

TiVo DESIGN™

The only TV that combines the power of the Internet with the
legendary TiVo user interface, all in stunning HD. You’ll find
entertainment from both broadcast TV and the Internet with
just a few clicks of your remote control. Now get what you
want, when you want it.
• Award-winning TiVo experience: Easily access all your
favorite TV shows, movies and more with the easy to use TiVo
user interface.
• Intelligent Search: Search by title, artist, director, keyword
and more.
• Access to the best Internet entertainment: Enjoy movies
from Netflix and CinemaNow, music from Pandora and
Napster, and much more.
• Future-proof: New software features, updates, and
enhancements download automatically.
• Broadband connected: Delivers a plethora of new
entertainment choices including TV, Movies, and Music.

Two-year limited warranty
Feel confident in the quality of Insignia TV parts and assembly.
Gain peace of mind knowing that you are not only getting the
best picture possible but are safeguarded against any
unforeseen service and repairs by an industry leading
two-year limited manufacturer warranty.

Video games generally require adjustments to the television
picture settings to get the maximum experience. By simply
pressing the GAME button on the front of your TV, your TV
settings will automatically adjust for video games. It couldn't
be easier.

AUDYSSEY Dynamic Volume plus
Dynamic EQ
Have you ever caught yourself wishing that you didn't
constantly need to adjust the volume: wishing that the
commercials wouldn't blare and that you could better hear
whispering during a movie scene? Audyssey Dynamic Volume
is a feature that lets you put the remote control down and
enjoy your show while Audyssey adjusts the sound levels for
you automatically. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is a feature that
automatically finds the richest sound settings-including
enhanced bass-for each scene, even when the volume level is
held steady, making the sound coming from your TV speakers
sound more lifelike. (See page 48 for instructions on how to
adjust the audio settings to take advantage of Audyssey.)

SRS TruSurround HD
At Insignia, providing you with superior audio quality is just as
important as exceptional picture quality. That's why we added
SRS TruSurround HD, which provides you with a theater-like
surround-sound experience, with the clearer dialog and the
enhanced bass sounds that movie viewers and gamers crave.

Setting up Rocketboost™
Congratulations on your purchase of this Rocketboost™
Ready TV.
Rocketboost uses state of the art 2.4 GHz wireless audio
technology. When used with other Rocketboost products, you
can enjoy your music or other audio throughout your house
without the limitations of cables.
How does Rocketboost work?
Rocketboost technology can connect all audio devices
throughout your home to form a home audio network.
Rocketboost products include “Senders,” which send or
transmit audio streams, and “Receivers,” which receive the
audio. This lets you listen to music from your Sender in other
rooms using your Receiver. Your Rocketboost Ready TV can be
used as both a sender and receiver.
As a sender you can listen to your TV audio using any other
Rocketboost receiver. As a receiver you can listen to the audio
from any other Rocketboost sender.
Rocketboost is expandable. Each Rocketboost Receiver can
select the audio from any Sender in your Rocketboost audio
network. The following shows an example Rocketboost
network. You can set up your network to meet your specific
needs.

Using Your TV

We hope you enjoy your new Rocketboost system. Remember
that it’s designed to grow with your home entertainment needs
and that it’s easy to add a new device to the network as you
expand your system.
For more information on Rocketboost products, go to
www.rocketboost.com.
Establishing communication
Rocketboost products form an audio network and each
Rocketboost receiver can select the audio from any
Rocketboost sender in the network.
Note
Every Rocketboost network must contain one hub or
manager device, which helps devices join the
network. The network can have only one hub, which
you can enable using the hub switch on Rocketboost
senders and sender/receivers.

If this is your first Rocketboost product, you should make the TV
the hub or manager. If you already have a working Rocketboost
network, then one of your other devices is already the hub or
manager.
Note
Hub devices must always have power for your
network to operate. The hub device can be in
standby (power saving) mode, but must stay
plugged in.

Is this your first Rocketboost product?
CH

GAME

YES—If this is your first Rocketboost enabled product, follow
the steps under “Setting up Rocketboost with your TV as the
hub or manager” on page 52.
NO—If this is not your first Rocketboost enabled product and
you already have a working Rocketboost network, go to
“Setting up Rocketboost with another device as the hub or
manager” on page 53.

Expanding your Rocketboost System
Rocketboost technology is expandable. Each Rocketboost
Receiver can select the audio from any Sender in your
Rocketboost audio network.
You can set up your network to meet your specific needs. The
following highlight some of the Rocketboost products you may
want to use with your Rocketboost enabled TV:
• RF-RBWHP01, Rocketboost Wireless Headphones, include a
Sender device and wireless headphones. You can listen to
audio sources connected to the Sender or directly from your
TV using the wireless headphones.
• RF-RBWS02, Rocketboost Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker,
includes a wireless speaker and the RF-RBAUX wireless
sender/receiver. You can listen to audio sources connected to
the sender/receiver or audio from your TV using the wireless
speaker.
• RF-RBAUX, Rocketboost Wireless Sender/Receiver can be used
as both a Sender and Receiver. As a Sender, you can connect it
to your other audio source devices (like a home theater or
mp3 player) and receive that audio using your TV or any other
Rocketboost Receiver. As a Receiver you can connect it to your
stereo system or amplified speakers and listen to the audio
from your TV or any other Rocketboost sender.
• RF-RBREC, Rocketboost Amplified Audio Receiver, is an
amplified Receiver. You connect speakers to this and listen to
audio from your TV or any of your Rocketboost Sender
devices. This is a great way to expand your Rocketboost
system to listen to your music anywhere in the house.
• RF-RBKIT, Rocketboost Wireless HD Starter Kit, includes a
Sender device and the RF-RBREC, amplified Receiver. This
product can be used for home theater wireless surround
sound for multi-room audio.

products are available, visit www.rocketboost.com.

Rocketboost Network Capabilities
The maximum number of Rocketboost devices in a
Rocketboost Network is nine. If you already have nine devices
and attempt to join another one, the joining will fail for the new
device.
Note
If you want to remove a device from your
Rocketboost network you need to rejoin it to a
different hub device (this basically creates a second
Rocketboost network).

The maximum number of audio streams that can be sent
simultaneously on the Rocketboost network is one of the
following:
• 5 stereo CD quality
• 1 stereo HD quality + 3 CD quality
• 2 stereo HD quality + 2 stereo CD quality
• 3 stereo HD quality
Note

www.insigniaproducts.com

HD streams are available if using the RF-RBKIT sender.
If your system is in a maximum audio stream state,
the TX indicator will not light on the Sender devices
that have exceeded the maximum. To use those
devices’ audio streams, you need to turn off one of
your other senders.

Primary Controller—This is the main device used to set up
and control your Z-Wave network. There can only be one
primary controller, and it must be used to add or delete
devices. A primary controller can be a portable device like a
hand-held remote control, a static controller (permanently
installed and never moved), a Z-Wave enabled PC, or a Z-Wave
enabled Ethernet router/bridge.
Secondary Controller—The Z-Wave network supports
multiple controllers so you can use additional Z-Wave remotes
throughout the home. If the secondary controller is the same
brand and model as the primary, it will have all of the same
capabilities as the primary with one exception; the secondary
controller can not be used to add or delete devices.
Home Control Network—Your controllers and every Z-Wave
device you have added with the primary controller are linked
together into a wireless network. Each device in your network
has a unique address assigned to it and cannot be activated by
your neighbor’s Z-Wave controller.
Node/Device—Node is the technical term used to describe a
Z-Wave device in your home control network. The terms
“Node” and “Device” both refer to an individual Z-Wave
enabled device and are interchangeable within context of
instructions.

Notes on Z-Wave network management

Appendix

2 Enter 9 7 5. The LED blinks twice.

• Adding a node or device can also be referred to as including a
node or device. Removing a node or device can also be
referred to as excluding or deleting a node or device.
• Every Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater and
multiple devices result in more possible transmission routes
which helps eliminate “RF dead-spots.”

Advanced remote control
programming
Programming a learned button
Your remote control includes a learning feature that lets you
add functions that are unique to your home entertainment
devices (such as VCR tracking up or down). However, there are
some considerations to keep in mind:
• Your original remote controls must be in working order for
learning to work correctly.
• Learned buttons are mode-specific, so each button can store a
unique function for each mode.
• Do not use the mode buttons or TiVo button.
• Certain device functions are not learnable, including
multi-frequency types, some high-frequency functions, and
other unusual formats.
• When setting up learned buttons, avoid high levels of
ambient light such as natural sunlight or energy efficient
fluorescent lights.

apart) from your original remote control (the one that came
with the device).
5 On the original remote, press and hold the button to be
learned. Continue holding the button on the original remote
until the Insignia’s LED blinks twice.
6 Repeat Step 3 through 5 to program another button. After
you have completed programming all the buttons you want,
press and hold SELECT until the LED blinks twice to save all
data learned.

Deleting a single learned button
This process returns the button to its original programming for
the mode you select. You can also delete learned programming
by teaching a different function to the button (see
“Programming a learned button” on page 111).
Notes
