Cable TV Installer: This reminder is provided to call your attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code
(Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
species that the cable ground should be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
Important: This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a rm, at surface. Don’t place the TV on soft
carpeting or similar surface because the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit will be blocked, resulting in reduced
lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain a spacing of 4 inches from the top
and side of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.
Also, make sure the stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally
tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the TV. Refer to the
Important Safety Instructions on the next page.
The Power button (followed by the power symbol) on this TV and your remote control puts the TV into a very
low-power standby mode but will not completely turn the power off. In order to completely shut the power off, you will
need to disconnect the power cord from the outlet. The mains plug/appliance coupler is used as disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Therefore, you should ensure that the TV is installed in a manner
that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.

Chapter 1 Connections and Setup
Before Initial Setup
Protect Against Power Surges
Connect all components before you plug any power cords into the wall outlet or power strip.
NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
Turn off the TV before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions.
Safety Information
Protect components from overheating.
Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
Don’t stack components.
If you place the component in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
If you connect an audio receiver or amplier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t
harm other components.
Avoid Audio Interference
Position cables properly; insert each cable rmly into the designated jack.
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down one side of the back of the TV instead
of straight down the middle.
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.
Keep twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Avoid Direct Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting is directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect
lighting.

Connections and Setup
Attaching Your TV to the Table Stand
Your TV comes without the table stand attached so that you can choose to mount your TV either to its table
stand or to a wall (wall mount sold separately). If you want to mount your TV to the wall, don’t attach the table
stand. Follow the Mounting Your TV to the Wall instructions.
First, remove the TV bag and place it on a large, at surface such as a table or countertop. Remove the TV
from the carton and place it face down on the TV bag. Be sure that the TV is face down to avoid scratching
the screen.
Then follow the steps below:
Note: A is applied to models of 32” or under 32”; B is applied to models of 39” or larger size . For some
models, the step 1 is no needed.
Mounting Your TV to the Wall
The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example,
200x200 refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 200mm horizontally and 200mm vertically.
Notes: Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall.
Caution: Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of ve times the TV’s net weight to avoid causing damage.
To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount.
Models of 32” or under 32”
Models of 39” or larger size
Purchase a VESA 100 x 100, M4 screw
Purchase a VESA 200 x 200, M6 screw
If you are mounting your TV to the wall, don’t attach the table stand.

Explanation of Jacks on TV
This section describes the jacks on the side/back panel of your TV. There are several ways to connect
components.
COMPONENT IN (CMPT) Lets you connect a component that has component video jacks, such as a DVD
player or set-top box.
( Green jack for Y, Blue jack for Pb and Red jack for Pr )
• Y Pb Pr (Component Video) Provides good picture quality because the video is separated into three
signals. Use three video-grade or component video cables for the connection.
L/R AUDIO Provides left and right audio connection when using the CMPT VIDEO input.
Red and
white jacks for R AUDIO and L AUDIO connection. (
For mono audio sources, be sure to use the L AUDIO
input.

Chapter 3 Other Information
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the quickest way to view High Denition (HD) video?
Connect an off-air antenna to the ANT/CABLE/SAT IN to view free local digital channels. You may need to
purchase an antenna.
Visit www.antennaweb.org for assistance in deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local digital
channels available to you. By entering your location, this mapping program tells you which local analog and
digital stations are available using a certain antenna.
Are there other ways to view High Denition (HD) video?
Besides using an off-air antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a set-top box to receive
digital video. Contact your cable company or satellite provider to purchase digital programming
and have them connect the box to ensure you are viewing channels the best way.
How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?
Press the INFO button to display the Channel Banner. Look at the bottom right corner of the screen. The dot (•)
is displayed for a digital channel. If there is no dot, it is an analog channel.
Why are there bars on my screen and can I get rid of them?
Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which lls your screen, but is sometimes sent in 4/3 which does not
ll your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is formatting the video. If there
are bars on the screen, press the ZOOM -/+ button to try a different format that may eliminate the bars. Some
bars can’t be removed because of the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. The format changes as you
press the ZOOM -/+ button and the format type is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Why does channel search nd a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them, there’s nothing
there?
Some channels enabled by the cable company don’t carry programming, such as video ondemand. When
channels are unavailable, your TV screen is blank or appears like snow. You probably want to remove these
channels from your Channel List. Remove these in the Channel Skip Menu.
Why does the rst channel search take a long time?
If you have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all available channels in the Channel List. If
you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching for scrambled channels, non-scrambled channels, and
each sub-channel of that digital channel.
