TO THE OWNER
Before operating this LCD TV, read this manual thoroughly and operate the LCD TV properly.  
This LCD TV provides many convenient features and functions. Operating the LCD TV properly enables you 
to manage those features and maintains it in better condition for a considerable time.
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the product-life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or 
other accidents.
If your LCD TV seems to operate improperly, read this manual again, check operations and cable 
connections and try the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section on page 36 of this booklet. If the problem 
still persists, contact the dealer where you purchased the LCD TV or the service center.
Safety Precaution
OInstall the LCD TV in a proper position. If not, it may result in a fire 
hazard.
OProvide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the LCD 
TV cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the LCD TV. 
Minimum clearance must be maintained. If the LCD TV is to 
be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed, the minimum 
distances must be maintained. Do not cover the ventilation slot on 
the LCD TV. Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your LCD 
TV, and can also be dangerous.
OIf the LCD TV is not to be used for an extended time, unplug the 
LCD TV from the power outlet.
