IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO PREVENT “IMAGE  
BURN / BURN-IN” ON YOUR TV SCREEN
ë When a fixed image (e.g. logos, screen menus, video  game, and computer display) is displayed on 
the TV for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on the screen. This phenom- 
enon is known as “image burn” or “burn-in.” Image b urn is not covered under the manufacturer’s 
warranty. 
ë In order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a  fixed image on your TV screen for a prolonged 
period (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more  
hours for Plasma). 
ë Image  burn  can  also  occur  on  the  letter- 
boxed  areas  of  your  TV  if  you  use  the  4:3  
aspect ratio setting for an extended period.

Keep these instructions. 
Heed all warnings. 
Follow all instructions.
1Do not use this apparatus  
near water.
2Clean only with dry cloth.
3Do  not  block  any  ventilation  
openings. Install in accordance  
with  the  manufacturer ’s  
instructions.
4Do  not  install  near  any  heat  
sources  such  as  radiators,  heat  
registers, stoves, or other appa-
ratus (including amplifiers) that  
produce heat.
5Do  not  defeat  the  safety  pur- 
pose of the polarized or ground- 
ing-type  plug.  A  polarized  plug  
has  two  blades  with  one  wider 
than  the  other.  A  grounding  
type plug has two blades and a 
third grounding prong, The wide  
blade  or  the  third  prong  are 
provided  for  your  safety.  If  the  
provided  plug  does  not  fit  into 
your  outlet,  consult  an  electri- 
cian  for  replacement  of  the  
obsolete outlet.
6Protect  the  power  cord  from  
being  walked  on  or  pinched  
particularly  at  plugs,  conve- 
nience  receptacles,  and  the  
point  where  they  exit  from  the  
apparatus.
7Only  use  attachments/acces- 
sories  specified  by  the  manu- 
facturer.
8Use  only  with  the  cart,  stand,  
tripod,  bracket,  or  table  speci- 
fied  by  the  manufacturer,  or 
sold  with  the  apparatus.  When  
a  cart  is  used,  use  caution  
when  moving  the  cart/appara- 
tus combination to avoid injury  
from tip-over.
9Unplug  this  apparatus  during  
lighting storms or when unused  
for long periods of time.
10Refer  all  servicing  to  qualified  service  per- 
sonnel. Servicing is required when the appa- 
ratus  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 oper-
ate normally, or has been dropped.
11Never touch this apparatus or antenna dur- 
ing a thunder or lighting storm.
12When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure  
not  to  install  the  TV  by  the  hanging  power  
and signal cables on the back of the TV.
13Do not allow an impact shock or any objects  
to  fall  into  the  product,  and  do  not  drop  
onto the screen with something.
14CAUTION concerning the Power Cord: 
It is recommend that appliances be placed  
upon  a  dedicated  circuit;  that  is,  a  single  
outlet  circuit  which  powers  only  that  appli- 
ance  and  has  no  additional  outlets  or  
branch  circuits.  Check  the  specification  
page of this owners manual to be certain. 
Do n ot connect too many appliances to the  
same AC power outlet as this could result in  
fire or electric shock. 
Do  not  overload  wall  outlets.  Overloaded  
wall  outlets,  loose  or  damaged  wall  outlets, 
extension  cords,  frayed  power  cords,  or  
damaged  or  cracked  wire  insulation  are  
dangerous  .  Any  of  these  conditions  could 
result  in  electric  shock  or  fire.  Periodically 
examine the cord of your appliance, and if its  
appearance  indicates  damage  or  deteriora- 
tion, unplug it, discontinue use of the appli-
ance,  and  have  the  cord  replaced  with  an  
exact  replacement  part  by  an  authorized  
servicer. Protect the power cord from phys- 
ical  or  mechanical  abuse,  such  as  being  
twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or  
walked  upon.  Pay  particular  attention  to  
plugs, wall  outlets,  and  the  point where  the  
cord exits the appliance.  
Do  not  make  the  TV  with  the  power  cord  
plugged in. Do not use a damaged or loose  
power  cord.  Be  sure  do  grasp  the  plug 
when  unplugging  the  power  cord.  Do  not 
pull on the power cord to unplug the TV.

and  all  cables  have  been  removed.  It  may  
take 2 or more people to carry larger TVs. Do  
not  press  against  or  put  stress  on  the  front  
panel of the TV.
22ANTENNAS 
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the  
precautions below. An outdoor antenna sys- 
tem  should  not  be  located  in  the vicinity  of  
overhead  power  lines  or  other  electric  light 
or  power  circuits,  or  where  it  can  come  in  
contact  with  such  power  lines  or  circuits  as  
death or serious injury can occur.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so 
as  to  provide  some  protection  against  volt- 
age surges and built-up static charges. 
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 
(NEC)  in  the  U.S.A.  provides  information  
with  respect  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.

28Dot Defect 
The  Plasma  or  LCD  panel  is  a  high  technol- 
ogy 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’reviewing  the  TV.  Those  dots  are  deacti-
vated  pixels  and  do  not  affect  the  perfor-
mance and reliability of the TV.
29Generated Sound 
“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs  
when watching or turning off the TV is gener-
ated  by  plastic  thermal  contraction  due  to 
temperature and humidity. This noise is com-
mon 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.
30For LED LCD TV/LCD TV
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 monitor’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  dis-
tortion effects on the screen.
ON DISPOSAL 
(Only Hg lamp used LCD TV)
The fluorescent lamp used in this product con- 
tains  a  small  amount  of  mercury.    Do  not 
dispose  of  this  product  with  general  house-
hold  waste.  Disposal  of  this  product  must  be  
carried  out  in  accordance to the regulations of  
your local authority.
