• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with a dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized 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 electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the 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.

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your TV.

• When moving your TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your TV to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.

• A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your TV and any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your TV close to smoke. Operating your TV close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric shock.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your TV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your TV cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of your TV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your TV.

• Your TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

• Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your TV.

This may compromise the integrity of the display. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover user abuse or improper installations.

• The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For more information, contact your dealer.

• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your TV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage within the inside of your TV that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords.

Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

• The wall socket should be installed near your TV and easily accessible.

TELEVISION ANTENNA CONNECTION

PROTECTION

If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power lines or circuits. Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in the building installation.

The TV displays “No Signal.”

There is no power.

• Ensure the power cable is securely attached to the TV.

• Press the Power/Standby button on the remote or on the side of the TV to turn the TV on.

The power is on, but there is no image on the screen.

There is no sound.

• Press Volume Up on the remote control.

• Press the MUTE button on the remote to ensure mute is off.

• Check the audio settings. See

Adjusting the Audio

Settings on page 25. Ensure that the speakers are set

to On.

• Ensure no headphones are connected to the TV.

• Check the audio connections of external devices

(Blu-ray player, game console, cable/satellite box) that are connected to the TV.

• If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna around the room or close to a window for the best signal.

The colors on the TV don’t look right.

• Adjust the Color and Tint settings in the Picture menu.

The image quality is not good.

• For the best image quality, view high-definition programs using digital sources. Connect your devices with HDMI cables.


The picture is distorted.

• Nearby electrical devices may be interfering with the

TV. Separate the TV from electrical appliances, cars, or fluorescent lights.

• Ensure all cables are securely attached.

The display image does not cover the entire screen.

• If you are using TV, AV, or Component with 480i input, press the WIDE button on the remote to change the screen mode.

The TV has pixels (dots) that are always dark or always lit.

• Your HDTV is precision-manufactured using an extremely high level of technology. However, sometimes pixels may not display correctly. These types of occurrences are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.

A

I see “noise” or static on the screen.

• When your TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted

(improved) to match your TV’s display capabilities. This up-converting can sometimes cause irregularities in the image.


When I change input source, the volume changes.

• The TV remembers the volume level on each input source. If the volume level on the new input source is higher or lower than the level on the source you switch from, the difference may be noticeable.

• Use the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote to adjust the volume.

When I change input source, the display image changes size.

• The TV remembers the viewing mode on each input source. If the viewing mode on the new input source differs from the one on the input source you switch from, the difference may be noticeable.

• See

Changing the Screen Aspect Ratio on page 20.
