cable entry as practical.
Important: This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a firm, flat surface. Don’t place the TV on soft
carpeting or similar surface because the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit will be blocked, resulting in reduced
lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain a spacing of 4 inches from the top
and side of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.
Also, make sure the stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally
tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the TV. Refer to the
Important Safety Instructions on the next page.
The Power button (followed by the power symbol) on this TV and your remote control puts the TV into a very
low-power standby mode but will not completely turn the power off. In order to completely shut the power off, you will
need to disconnect the power cord from the outlet. The mains plug/appliance coupler is used as disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Therefore, you should ensure that the TV is installed in a manner
that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the quickest way to view High Definition (HD) video?
Connect an off-air antenna to the ANT/CABLE/SAT IN to view free local digital channels. You may
need to purchase an antenna. (See page 10 for more information).
Visit www.antennaweb.org for assistance in deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local
digital channels available to you. By entering your location, this mapping program tells you which local
analog and digital stations are available using a certain antenna.
Are there other ways to view High Definition (HD) video?
Besides using an off-air antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a set-top box to receive
digital video. Contact your cable company or satellite provider to purchase digital programming
and have them connect the box to ensure you are viewing channels the best way.
How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?
Press the INFO button to display the Channel Banner. Look at the bottom right corner of the screen.
The dot (•) is displayed for a digital channel. If there is no dot, it is an analog channel.
Why are there bars on my screen and can I get rid of them?
Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which fills your screen, but is sometimes sent in 4/3 which
does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is formatting
the video. If there are bars on the screen, press the ZOOM -/+ button to try a different format that
may eliminate the bars. Some bars can’t be removed because of the way the format is sent by the
broadcaster. The format changes as you press the ZOOM -/+ button and the format type is displayed
at the bottom left of the screen. For more information on screen formats, go to page 18.
Why does channel search find a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to
them, there’s nothing there?
Some channels enabled by the cable company don’t carry programming, such as video ondemand.
When channels are unavailable, your TV screen is blank or appears like snow. You probably want to
remove these channels from your Channel List. Remove these in the Channel Skip Menu. Go to page
24 for more information.
Why does the first channel search take a long time?
If you have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all available channels in the Channel
List. If you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching for scrambled channels, non-scrambled
channels, and each sub-channel of that digital channel.

Troubleshooting
Most problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following
troubleshooting list.
TV Problems
The TV won’t turn on.
• Make sure the TV is plugged in.
• Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in another device.
• The TV panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the TV panel 		
controls.
• Select the Button Block feature on the Parental Control menu and press OK to uncheck the box.
There is no picture and no sound but the TV is on.
• You may be tuned to an input with no component connected to it. If you’re trying to view a 		
connected component, press INPUT until the picture from that component appears.
• The Signal Type option may be set incorrectly. Go to page 23 for detailed instructions.
• The channel may be blank. Try changing channels.
• If you’re watching your VCR and it’s connected with coaxial cable to the ANT/CABLE/SAT IN jack,
tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is selected on the 3/4 switch on the back of your 		
VCR). Also make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR 		
button on your VCR).
The sound is fine, but the picture is poor quality.
• If you’re getting a black and white picture from a component you’ve connected to your TV, 		
you might have your video cables connected to the wrong jacks. A yellow video cable connects 		
to the yellow VIDEO INPUT jack on the side or back of your TV; three video cables or bundled 		
component video cables (red, blue, and green) connect to the corresponding COMPONENT INPUT
jacks on the back of your TV.
• Check the antenna connections. Make sure all of the cables are firmly connected to the jacks.
There is no sound, but the picture is fine.
• The sound might be muted. Try pressing the volume up button to restore sound.
• If using DVI or Y, PB, PR, remember to also connect the device’s left and right audio output jacks to
the TV’s L and R AUDIO INPUT jacks.
• The sound settings may not be set correctly. Go to page 22 for more information.
• If your audio source has only one jack or is a (mono) audio source, make sure you have plugged 		
the connection into the L AUDIO INPUT jack on the TV.

sure there is a clear path.
• The remote may not be aimed directly at the TV.

The Universal Remote control doesn’t work.
This TV utilizes new remote control signals and may not be compatible with your existing universal
remote (e.g. satellite box remotes, cable box remotes, and generic universal remotes, etc.). Over time,
newer universal remotes will become available that should pick up the new TV codes.

violent.
Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set NR
to View Separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.
What else can I do?
If you’ve been through the Troubleshooting section and nothing has fixed your problem, try rebooting
your TV. Note that after a reboot, you may need to run your TV through the setup process again. To
do a reboot, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or power strip. Keep your TV unplugged for
about 5 minutes. Then plug in the TV and turn it on. See if the problem is fixed. If the problem remains,
then please visit www.tclusa.com for updated FAQs or contact TCL Customer Support at the support
number provided in your Warranty under “How To Get Service.”
Care and Cleaning
Caution: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.
You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the
ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
IMPORTANT: Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive
powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV. The TV’s screen may be cleaned with a soft,
lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth
dampened with warm water. While cleaning, do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to
run down the screen and inside the TV. Also, never place drinks or vases with water on top of the TV.
This could increase the risk of fire, shock hazard or damage to the TV.
