CHILD SAFETY
It makes a difference how and where you use
your flat panel display
As you enjoy your new product, keep these
safety tips in mind
The issue
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular
purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics
industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,
chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.
Tune into safety

•
•
•
One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand
rated for the weight of your TV.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
Don’t let children to climb on or play with entertainment
system furniture and TVs.
Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as
steps, such as a chest of drawers.
Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on a “larger-than-life” TV. Make sure
that you place or install the TV where it cannot be pushed,
pulled over, or knocked down.
•
Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they
cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
Wall mounting
If you decide to wall mount your TV, always:
•
One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of your
TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this manual, or
otherwise listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, or ETL) as suitable for
your TV.
•
•
Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a
professional installer.
•
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If you are
unsure, ask a professional installer.
•
TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

Safety information
16 Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or
damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or
damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your TV, and if its appearance indicates
damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of your TV,
and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an
authorized service person. Protect the power cord from physical
or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched,
closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to
plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits your TV.
17 Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to prevent
possible electric shock. If grounding methods are not possible,
have a qualified electrician install a separate circuit breaker. Do
not try to ground the unit by connecting it to telephone wires,
lightening rods, or gas pipes.
Safety information
Caution
To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade on the power
cord plug to the wide slot on an electric outlet. If the plug does
not fit, consult a licensed electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not modify the power cord plug, or you will defeat
this safety feature.
This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is
present within your TV. This label is located
on the back of your TV.
This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature accompanying
your TV.
18 The main plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain
readily operable.
Warning: Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp
containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials
may be regulated for environmental reasons. For disposal or recycling
information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which
provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few nonactive
pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red point.
These non-active pixels do not adversely affect the performance of your
TV, and are not considered defects.

Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV, make sure
that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides
information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Do not use your TV near water.
Clean the cabinet with a dry cloth only.
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 with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and
a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for correct grounding
and in particular, specifies that the cable ground must be connected to
the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry
as practical.
15 Servicing is required when your TV has been damaged in any
way, such as the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV, your TV has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.

Connecting an outside antenna
Connecting to an external signal source
Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and 300 ohm.
You can connect a DVD, VCD, VCR, or STB using a variety of methods,
including composite cables, component cables, an S-Video cable, or an
HDMI cable. The S-Video cable does not carry sound. If you use an
S-Video cable, you need to use audio cables to connect the audio
output.
75 ohm cable
Warning: Make sure that you turn off and unplug your TV before
300 ohm cable
connecting devices.
Note: For better video, use the S-Video jack if your device has an S-Video
connection. For best video, use the HDMI jack if your device has an
HDMI connection.
To connect an external signal source:
• If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm connector, connect the cable
to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.
• If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm connector, connect the cable
to a 300-75 ohm adapter (not included), connect the adapter to a
75 ohm cable, then connect the other end of the 75 ohm
connector to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.
1
For composite video—Plug the audio/video cable into the
AUDIO L, AUDIO R (6), and VIDEO (2) jacks on the back of your
TV, then connect the other ends to the corresponding jacks on the
external signal source.
Or
For S-Video—Plug in the audio cables as described above, then
plug one end of an S-Video cable into the S-Video (3) jack on the
back of your TV, then plug the other end into the S-Video jack on
the external signal source.
Connecting cable TV
Your TV has a 75 ohm jack for connecting cable TV.
Some cable TV providers scramble the signals for “premium” (pay)
channels. To view these channels, you need a converter/descrambler
box.
Or
For component video—Plug the Y, Pb, and Pr video cables
into the COMPONENT (5) jacks and the Audio L and Audio R
cables into the AUDIO L and AUDIO R (4) jacks on the back of
your TV, then plug the other ends of the cables into the
corresponding jacks on the external signal source.
If you do not have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect your
cable TV directly to your TV. If you have a converter/descrambler box,
you can connect your cable TV using an RF switch (not supplied). For
more information about connecting a converter/descrambler box,
contact your cable TV provider.
Or
To connect cable TV without a converter/descrambler box:
For HDMI—Plug one end of an HDMI cable into the HDMI1 (1)
jack on the back of your TV, then plug the other end into an HDMI
device.
1
Connect one end of a 75 ohm cable to the coaxial jack on the back
of your TV.
2
