y Do not stick metal objects or any other conductive 
material into the power cord. Do not touch the end 
of the power cord while it is plugged in.
y
y Keep the packing anti-moisture material or vinyl 
packing out of the reach of children. Anti-moisture 
material is harmful if swallowed. If swallowed 
by mistake, force the patient to vomit and visit 
the nearest hospital. Additionally, vinyl packing 
can cause suffocation. Keep it out of the reach of 
children. y
y CAUTION concerning the Power Cord  
(Can differ by country):  
It is recommended that appliances be placed upon a 
dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which 
powers only that appliance and has no additional 
outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification 
page of this owner’s manual to be certain. Do 
not 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 deterioration, 
unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have 
the cord replaced with an exact replacement part 
by an authorized service. Protect the power cord 
from physical 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 move 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.

y Grounding
(Except for devices which are not grounded.) 
Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to 
prevent possible electric shock (i.e. a TV with a 
three-prong grounded AC plug must be connected 
to a three-prong grounded AC outlet). If grounding 
methods are not possible, have a qualified 
electrician install a separate circuit breaker. Do not 
try to ground the unit by connecting it to telephone 
wires, lightening rods, or gas pipes.

y
y ANTENNAS Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
(Can differ by country): 
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the 
precautions below. An outdoor antenna system 
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 voltage 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.

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs 
when watching or turning off the TV is generated by 
plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and 
humidity. This noise is common 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.
y
y Take care not to touch the ventilation openings. 
When watching the TV for a long period, the 
ventilation openings may become hot. This does 
not affect the performance of the product or cause 
defects in the product.

permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is 
“image burn” or “burn-in” and not covered by the 
warranty.
y
y If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a 
long period of time, image burn may occur on the 
letterboxed area of the screen.
y
y Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for 
a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 
or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image 
burn.
