Important Safety Precautions

• Cleaning—Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

• Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.

• Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product.

The water may spill onto the product causing fire or electric shock.

• Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

• When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.

• Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass.

Therefore, it can break when the product is struck forcefully or with a sharp object. If the LCD panel is broken, be careful not to be injured by broken glass.

• Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products

(including amplifiers).

• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

• Do not place heavy objects on this product or stand on it. Doing so could cause injury if the product overturns.

Take special care near children and pets.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 3,147,264 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture details.

Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.

This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.

Precautions when transporting the TV

When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the speakers. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands—one hand on each side of the TV.

• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

• Install the product in a place where the AC cord can be easily unplugged from an AC outlet and the AC

INPUT terminal on the rear of the product.

Preparation

Inserting the batteries

Before using the TV for the first time, insert two “AAA” size batteries (supplied). When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AAA” size batteries.

1

Open the battery cover.

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (e) and (f) indications in the battery compartment.

CAUTION

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage in old batteries.

• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

• If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.

Using the remote control unit

Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote sensor window.

Objects between the remote control unit and sensor window may prevent proper operation.

Troubleshooting

• No power.

Problem Possible Solution

• Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 13.)

If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press POWER.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 6.)

• Has the power been turned on? (See page 13.)

• Unit cannot be operated.

• Picture is cut off.

• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the power off the TV or unplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.

• Remote control unit does not operate.

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 5.)

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)

• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?

• Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor?

• Is the image position correct? (See page 28.)

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages

29 to 30.)

• Strange colour, light colour, or dark, or colour misalignment.

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 23 to 25 and 31.)

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

• Check the colour system setting. (See pages 19 and 33.)

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 32.)

• Power is suddenly turned off.

• The unit’s internal temperature has increased.

Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.

• Check the power control setting. (See page 33.)

• Is sleep timer set? (See page 15.)

• No picture.

• No sound.

• Is connection to other equipment correct? (See pages 37 to 39)

• Has input signal setup been done correctly after connection? (See page 32.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 32.)

• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 23 to 25.)

• Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 8.)

• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 31.)

• Is the volume too low? (See page 15.)

• Make sure that headphones are not connected. (See page 10.)

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.

Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C.
