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 2,073,600 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 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.  
• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or flames on the top or near the TV set.  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.  
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or splashing.  
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.  
• Do not insert foreign objects into the product. Inserting objects in the air vents or other openings may  
result in fire or electric shock. Exercise special caution when using the product around children.  
Precautions when transporting the TV  
• When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always  
carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.  
Caring for the Cabinet  
• Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the display panel.  
Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause  
cracking.  
• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the panel surface.  
• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water and  
thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.  
• The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the  
cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.  
• Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids.  
Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. Plasticizers  
inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.

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  
• The 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.  
• Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,  
speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.  
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!  
• The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable  
and safe.  
TUNE INTO SAFETY  
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe 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:  
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such  
as UL, CSA, ETL).  
• Follow all 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.

Antennas  
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.  
F-type connector  
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).  
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)  
2.A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be attached  
to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (Commercially  
available).  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

AV MODE  
AUDIO  
AV MODE gives you several viewing options to choose  
from to best match the surrounding environment of the  
TV, which can vary due to factors like room brightness,  
type of program watched or the type of image input  
from external equipment.  
MTS/SAP stereo mode  
The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound  
other than the main audio for the program. This feature  
is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV  
with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound  
and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP  
feature allows a TV station to broadcast other  
information, which could be audio in another language  
or something completely different like weather  
information.  
Press AV MODE. Current AV MODE displays.  
Press AV MODE again before the mode displayed on the  
screen disappears. The mode changes as shown below:  
Example:  
When the input source is TV, INPUT 1, 2 or 3 terminals  
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP broadcasts  
where available.  
Stereo broadcasts: View programs like live sporting  
events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.  
SAP broadcasts: Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN  
or SAP sound.  
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in  
mono or stereo).

information  
Ratings  
Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption  
decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration  
and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed  
Captions are available on some TV programs and on  
some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the  
program provider.  
Depending on the number of caption services in the  
signal being received, you will see information such as  
1/2 or 1/4 displayed.  
1/2 means “the first of two services”.  
Example:  
If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CC1  
and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this  
sequence:  
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service  
available only on digital TV programs (also at the  
discretion of the service provider). It is a more flexible  
system than the original Closed Caption system,  
because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font  
styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in  
use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter  
abbreviation that also indicates the language of the  
Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish),  
FRA (French) or other language codes.  
1/3 ENG  
2/3 CC1  
3/3 Text1  
Off  
The CC button keeps a record of the last service  
selected in its memory.  
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3 ENG) you  
selected is not available for the next program, or on  
another channel, the closed caption service that is  
available is automatically selected, and this service  
appears in parentheses, e.g. “1/3(CC1)”.  
Closed Caption services that appear in parentheses  
will not be stored in the CC button's memory as your  
last selected service. Only services that you have  
selected with the CC button are stored.  
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed  
captions. Please look for the “  
that captions will be shown.  
” symbol to ensure  
N
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than  
one caption service provided. Each is identified by its  
own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services display  
subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the  
program's picture.  
Examples:  
In a case where there are two closed caption  
services provided (for instance, Digital CC(ENG)  
and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed  
as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is  
not broadcast for the next program, the other  
closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in  
parentheses.  
In the Closed Caption system, the “Text1” or “Text2”  
services display text that is unrelated to the program  
being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services  
are also superimposed over the program currently  
being viewed.  
A closed caption service appears in parentheses  
because the service you selected is not available  
and a different service is displayed on your screen.  
“1/1(CC1)” is displayed instead of “1/2/ENG”.  
When “Power Saving” is set to “Standard” or “Advanced”,  
the Power Saving leaf icon appears on the channel  
information window. See page 24 for details of Power  
Saving settings.  
See page 30 for detailed closed caption settings.  
When the program contains no closed caption, “--”  
displays in the closed caption information.  
If the language code, e.g. “ENG”, is not found on Digital TV  
programs, “--” will be shown.  
Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1,  
Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may  
contain none or only some of these services at the  
discretion of the program provider.

Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English ratings  
and Canadian French ratings)  
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.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? Page 7  
• Has the power been turned on? Page 15  
• Unit cannot be operated.  
• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper  
operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning off the power of the TV or  
unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.  
• Remote control unit does not  
operate.  
• Is the FUNCTION set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position.  
• Are batteries inserted with polarity (  
,
) aligned? Page 8  
e f  
• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)  
• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?  
• Is a fluorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?  
• Is "RC Control Lock" selected in "Operation Lock Out"? Page 30  
• Picture is cut off/with sidebar  
screen.  
• Is the image position correct? Page 26  
Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? Pages 19 and 39  
• Strange color, light color, or color • Adjust the picture tone. Pages 22 and 23  
misalignment  
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.  
• Power is suddenly turned off.  
• Is the sleep timer set? Page 16  
• Check the power control settings. Page 24  
• The unit's internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or  
clean.  
• No sound  
• Is connection to other components correct? Pages 11, 12, 13, 14 and 35  
• Is the volume too low? Page 16  
• Is "Variable" selected in "Output Select"? Page 29  
• Have you pressed MUTE on the remote control unit? Page 16  
• Check the audio output of the connected external equipment. Is the volume too  
low or muted?  
• When external equipment is connected via an HDMI cable, you may need to  
configure the audio to be output through the HDMI cable.  
• When audio is not output from external equipment connected to the INPUT 4 or  
INPUT 6 terminal, check the "PC Audio Select" setting. Page 40  
• Even when external equipment is connected using an HDMI-certified cable, an  
audio cable connection may be required depending on the type of equipment and  
the media being played back. In this case, in addition to connecting an HDMI-  
certified cable to the INPUT 6 (HDMI) terminal, connect an audio cable to the  
AUDIO terminal and set "PC Audio Select" to "Input 6 (HDMI)". Page 40  
• When connecting a PC via an HDMI-certified cable, check the following:  
- Is the audio output of the PC configured correctly? Check the audio output  
settings and output audio format in Sound Properties on the PC.  
Only PCM format audio can be output. Compressed audio (with a sampling rate  
of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, or 48kHz) and DTS format audio cannot be output.  
- Depending on the board, only video signals may be output. In this case, in  
addition to connecting an HDMI-certified cable to the INPUT 6 (HDMI) terminal,  
connect an audio cable to the AUDIO terminal and set "PC Audio Select" to "Input  
6 (HDMI)". Page 40  
• If you are using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to connect external equipment to  
the TV, check the following:  
- Is an audio cable connected? The HDMI-DVI conversion cable is for video only.  
Connect a Ø 3.5 mm stereo mini jack cable to listen to the audio.  
- Is INPUT 6 being used? When the TV is connected to another HDMI terminal, the

Problem  
Possible Solution  
• No picture  
• Is connection to other components correct? Pages 11, 12, 13, 14 and 35  
• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? Page 29  
• Is the correct input selected? Page 16  
• Is "On" selected in "Audio Only"? Page 29  
• If the PC image is not displayed, check the following:  
- When connecting a laptop PC to the TV, check that display output mode of the  
PC is set to external monitor.  
- Check the resolution setting on the PC. Is a non-compatible signal being input?

• The TV sometimes makes a  
cracking sound.  
• This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and  
contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the TV's  
performance.

• Check the antenna cable. Check that the antenna is correctly  
setup.  
• Check the broadcast time in the program guide.  
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments  
• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed.  
This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.  
• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a  
heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
