This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV programming, with a suitable 
antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States (as required by law) on February \
17, 
2009.  Some older television receivers, if they rely on a TV antenna, will need a TV Converter to receive over the air digital 
programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (\
e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still 
broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, or playing video g\
ames). When a Converter is used with an older 
television receiver, a signal splitter might be necessary to continue to receive low-power \
analog broadcasts via an antenna. 
For more information, please see www.DTV.gov. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government 
coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009. Please 
check with your cable or satellite service provider if you have question\
s about your cable or satellite set-top box.

Safety Precautions
Note to CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to direct the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for 
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding sy\
stem of the building, as 
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Secure Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided fo\
r ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the LCD 
TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. There should be at least 10 cm of space 
from these openings. The openings should never be blocked by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. 
This LCD TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase un\
less proper ventilation is provided.
Important Safety Instructions
1)  Read these instructions.
2)  Keep these instructions.
3)  Heed all warnings.
4)  Follow all instructions.
5)  Do not use this apparatus near water.
6)  Clean only with dry cloth.
7)  Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the ma\
nufacturer’s instructions. 
8)  Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, \
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that 
produce heat.
9)  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-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. 
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at p\
lugs, convenience receptacles, 
  and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by th\
e manufacturer, or sold with the  apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart / appar\
atus combination to avoid injury 
from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long pe\
riods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is require\
d 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.
15) Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking labe\
l. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to  your home consult your television dealer or local power company.
16) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD TV.
17) Never push objects of any kind into this LCD TV through cabinet  slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts 
that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any\
 
kind on the LCD TV.
18) If an outside antenna is connected to the tele vi sion equipment,  be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some 
protection against voltage surges and built up static charg es. 
In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical Code 
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 
re quire ments for the grounding electrode.
  
CAUTION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover or back.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service p\
ersonnel.
The lightning flash with 
arrowhead within a triangle 
is intended to tell the user 
that parts inside the product 
are a risk of electric shock 
to persons.
The exclamation point 
within a triangle is 
intended to tell the user 
that important operating 
and servicing instructions 
are in the papers with the

  d.  If the LCD TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
       Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instruction\
s as improper adjustment of other 
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a\
 qualified technician to restore the LCD 
TV to normal operation.
  e.  If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
  f.  When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for\
 service.
21) 
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses\
 replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that 
have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substi\
tutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
