source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type  
of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or  
local power company.  
Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your TV. This may  
compromise the integrity of the display. The manufacturer’s  
warranty does not cover user abuse or improper  
installations.  
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,  
or table specified by the manufacturer, or  
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used,  
use caution when moving the cart/apparatus  
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.  
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when  
unused for long periods of time.  
The power cord must be replaced when using different  
voltage than the voltage specified. For more information,  
contact your dealer.  
When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing  
into your TV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power  
cord.  
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an  
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the  
presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage within the  
inside of your TV that may be of sufficient magnitude to  
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.  
Do not overload power strips and extension cords.  
Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.  
The wall socket should be installed near your TV and easily  
accessible.  
Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your TV.  
Any other voltage than the specified voltage may cause fire  
or electric shock.  
Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid  
electric shock, avoid handling the power cord during  
electrical storms.  
Unplug your TV during a lightning storm or when it will not  
be used for long period of time. This will protect your TV  
from damage due to power surges.  
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing  
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any  
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid  
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,  
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does  
not operate normally or has been dropped.  
Unplug the power cord before cleaning your TV.  
When moving your TV from an area of low temperature to  
an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the  
housing. Wait before turning on your TV to avoid causing  
fire, electric shock, or component damage.  
A distance of at least three feet should be maintained  
between your TV and any heat source, such as a radiator,  
heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your TV close to  
smoke. Operating your TV close to smoke or moisture may  
cause fire or electric shock.  
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet  
are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of  
your TV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these  
openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your  
TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is  
provided.  
Never push any object into the slots and openings on your  
TV cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of your TV.  
Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric  
shock. Never spill liquids on your TV.  
Do not attempt to repair or service your TV yourself.  
Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to  
high voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair

Lightning Protection  
TELEVISION ANTENNA CONNECTION  
PROTECTION  
For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it  
is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV  
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.  
If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be  
connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system  
is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage  
surges and static charges.  
Power Lines  
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or  
where it could fall into such power lines or circuits. Remember, the  
screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in  
the building installation.  
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 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 the grounding conductors, location of  
antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and  
requirements of the grounding electrode.

CONNECTING AN AUDIO DEVICE - AUDIO CABLE TYPES  
RCA CABLE  
OPTICAL/SPDIF CABLE  
HDMI CABLE  
RCA cables (or Composite cables) are the traditional  
way of connecting your devices to your audio  
device. Audio signals are sent over the red and  
white connectors.  
Optical/SPDIF cables transmit audio signals as  
pulses of light through a cable made of plastic  
fibers. Audio signals are digitally transmitted  
between devices.  
HDMI technology transmits crystal-clear digital  
multi-channel surround audio through a single  
HDMI cable. Audio Return Channel-enabled  
(ARC) TVs allow audio to be sent over an already  
connected HDMI cable, eliminating the need for  
a separate audio cable. See Connecting an Audio

CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO  
The TV can display images in five different modes: Normal, Stretch,  
Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the picture  
differently.  
Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges of  
the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display  
image may appear distorted. If the program is already  
formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 2.35:1),  
then black bars will appear on the top and bottom of the  
display image.  
To change the screen aspect ratio:  
1. Press the WIDE button on the  
Normal  
Normal  
Stretch  
remote.  
Zoom expands images with black bars to fit the screen.  
2. Use the Arrow buttons to  
highlight the aspect ratio you  
wish to view and press OK.  
Panoramic  
Wide  
Wide  
Normal preserves the content’s  
original aspect ratio. Since the  
4:3 aspect ratio is not large  
enough to fill the TV’s screen,  
black bars are added to the left  
and right of the display image.  
Stretch expands the display image to fill the screen.  
Images may appear wider than intended. If you are  
watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black  
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display  
image. This option is only available when the TV is  
displaying a 720p/1080i source.  
Panoramic expands the display image to fill the width of  
the screen. Images may appear wider than intended. If  
you are watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content,
