    Notes for Australia and 
    New Zealand model
    This product is ENERGY RATING 
    qualified in the “Home” mode. ENERGY 
    RATING is a program designed to promote 
    energy efficient products and practices.
     When the TV is initially set up, it is 
    designed to meet ENERGY RATING  
    requirements while maintaining 
    optimum picture quality.
     Changes to certain features, settings, and 
    functionalities of this TV (e.g. TV Guide, 
    Picture/Sound, Eco-Setting) can slightly 
    change the power consumption.
    Depending upon such changed settings 
    (e.g. “Shop” mode), the power 
    consumption may vary which possibly 
    could exceed the stated energy rating.
    To reset the TV to ENERGY RATING 
    qualified settings, select “Home” mode 
    from the initial set-up procedure in 
    “Factory Settings” under the “Set-up” 
    menu.
    IMPORTANT 
    INFORMATION
    If a television is not positioned in a 
    sufficiently stable location, it can be 
    potentially hazardous due to falling. Many 
    injuries, particularly to children, can be 
    avoided by taking simple precautions such 
    as: 
     Using cabinets or stands recommended 
    by the manufacturer of the television.
     Only using furniture that can safely 
    support the television.
     Ensuring the television is not 
    overhanging the edge of the supporting 
    furniture.
     Not placing the television on tall 
    furniture (for example, cupboards or 
    bookcases) without anchoring both the 
    furniture and the television to a suitable 
    support.
     Not standing the televisions on cloth or 
    other materials placed between the 
    television and supporting furniture.
     Educating children about the dangers of 
    climbing on furniture to reach the 
    television or its controls.
