IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Water and Moisture -- Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
• Stand -- Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can
cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall,
be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.
• Selecting the location -- Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.
• Ventilation -- The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents
and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the
product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed
for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation
is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.
• The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or
applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the panel breaks.
• Heat -- The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 1,049,088 pixels, giving you fine picture details.
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this
does not affect the performance of your product.
• Lightning -- For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the
equipment due to 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 fal! 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.
• Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system
is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSl/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!
• The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment

installation and use of your flat panel display.
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.
• Don't allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.
• Don't place flat panel displays 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" flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display
where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
• Care 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:

an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
• Follow al! instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact
your retailer about professional installation.
• Make 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.
• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of
connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an
F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.
'-1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal
without tools (Commercially available).

• If no caption signal is received, no captions wil! appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed
Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These
transmissions do not allow time for editing.
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be seen but may interfere with
Closed Captions.
• Some Cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

V-CHIP might not function according to the condition of the signal from the broadcasting station.
V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your TV. This toot gives parents a great degree of control over
broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing
while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your
TV.
V-CHIP menu will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your password.
(See page 18 for password setting for parental control.)
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: movie ratings and TV Parental Guidelines.
• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate television shows
from their children.
• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as watched on cable
TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.

Watching TV

• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) policy on violence in television programming.
• While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration other
program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes.
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the Canadian
French ratings.
Canadian

English

Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk shows, music
videos, and variety programming.
Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to themes that
could threaten their sense of security and well-being.
Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve
conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on the screen.
General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very
little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.
Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger children (under
the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues.

C
C8+
G
Age
PG

Over 14 Years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant elements of the storyline, but
it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language usage could be profane and nudity
present within the context of the theme.
Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of violence, which while
related to the development of plot, character or themes, are intended for adult viewing.
Could contain graphic language and portrayals of sex and nudity.
