The Plasma or LCD panel is a high
technology product with resolution of two
million to six million pixels. In a very few
cases, you could see fine dots on the screen
while you’re viewing the TV. Those dots
are deactivated pixels and do not affect the
performance and reliability of the TV.
y Generated Sound
“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that
occurs when watching or turning off the TV
is generated by plastic thermal contraction
due to temperature and humidity. This noise
is common for products where thermal
deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A
low level noise is generated from a high-
speed switching circuit, which supplies a
large amount of current to operate a product.
It varies depending on the product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
y Take care not to touch the ventilation
openings. When watching the TV for a long
period, the ventilation openings may become
hot. This does not affect the performance of
the product or cause defects in the product.
y If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may
be a small “flicker” when it is turned on. This
is normal, there is nothing wrong with TV.
Some minute dot defects may be visible on
the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or
blue spots. However, they have no adverse
effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid
touching the LCD screen or holding your
finger(s) against it for long periods of time.
Doing so may produce some temporary
distortion effects on the screen.

CHILD SAFETY:
It Makes A Difference How and Where
You Use Your Flat Panel Display
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product,
please keep these safety tips in mind:
THE ISSUE
yThe home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and
larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel
displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
yFlat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and
cause injury.
THIS MANUFACURER CARES!
yThe consumer electronics industry is committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
yOne size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat panel
display.
yCarefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use
of this product.
yDon’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television
sets.
yDon’t allow place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be
used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
yRemember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat panel display.
Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be
pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
yCare should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the
flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious
children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT
YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
yUse a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory
(such as UL, CSA, ETL).
yFollow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.
yIf you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat
panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
yMake sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction.
If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
yA minimum of two people are required for installation.
