children to ensure they follow the 
recommendations listed above.Do not use, store, or leave the 3D

Getting Started
xGuidelines for Remote Control
 Point your remote control directly at the 
IR sensor located on your TV.
 Make sure that no objects are blocking 
the path between the remote control and 
the IR sensor on your TV.
 Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your 
remote control; try turning off the 
fluorescent lamps.
 If you are having problems with the 
remote control, reinsert or replace your 
batteries and make sure that they are 
correctly inserted.Before setting up 
your TV
Some TV models are packaged with a 
detached Table-Top Stand so you can 
mount your TV to a wall right away. See 
page 20 (Using a Wall-Mount Bracket) if you 
want to mount the TV to a wall. If you are not 
mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to 
attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a 
Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) and the 
supplied screws to complete the task. Look 
for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction 
leaflet. 
Be sure to consider the following while 
setting up your TV: 
 Disconnect all cables when carrying the 
TV. 
 Carry the TV with the adequate number 
of people; larger size TVs require two or 
more people.
 Correct hand placement while carrying 
the TV is very important for safety and to 
avoid damage. 
 Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, 
see page 21.
 For best picture quality, do not expose 
the screen to direct illumination or 
sunlight. 
 Avoid installing the TV in a room with 
reflective wall and floor materials. 
 Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to 
a warm area. Sudden room temperature 
changes may cause moisture 
condensation. This may cause the TV to 
show poor picture and/or poor color. 
Should this occur, allow moisture to 
evaporate completely before powering 
the TV on.
