electric shock.
Power-supply cords should be placed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at the plug end, at wall outlets, and at the point where they
exit from the appliance.
To protect this apparatus from a lightning storm, or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the set
due to lightning and power line surges.
Before connecting the AC power cord to the DC adaptor outlet, make sure that the voltage designation of the DC
adaptor corresponds to the local electrical supply.
Never insert anything metallic into the open parts of this apparatus. This may cause a danger of electric shock.

Safety Precaution: Securing the TV to the wall to prevent falling
Caution: Pulling, pushing, or climbing on the TV may cause the TV to fall. In particular, ensure
your children do not hang on or destabilize the TV. This action may cause the TV to tip over,
causing serious injuries or death. Follow all safety precautions provided in the Safety Flyer
included with your TV. For added stability and safety, you can purchase and install the anti-fall
device as described below.
WARNING: Never place a television set in an unstable location. The television set may fall, causing
serious personal injury or death. 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 set.
Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.
Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television
set and supporting furniture.
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its
controls.
If you are retaining and relocating the television set that you are replacing with this new set, you should
apply the same precautions to the old set.

power cord to the TV, and then connect the power cord to an AC wall outlet. If you are connecting your TV to a cable
or satellite box using HDMI, Component, or Composite connections, you do not need to connect the ANT IN jack to an
antenna or a cable connection.
For the best picture and audio quality, connect digital devices using an HDMI cable.
If you connect an external device to the TV that uses an older version of HDMI, the video and audio may not
work. If this occurs, ask the manufacturer of the device about the HDMI version and, if it is out of date, request an
upgrade.

For set-top box connection using HDMI cable, we highly recommend you to connect the HDMI IN 1(STB) port.
For an HDMI to DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 2(PC/DVI) jack.
If an HDMI to DVI cable is connected to the HDMI IN 2(PC/DVI) port, the audio does not work.
For PCs with DVI video out jacks, use an HDMI to DVI cable to connect the DVI out on the PC to the HDMI IN 2(PC/

the signal.
The picture is distorted: macroblock error, small block, dots, pixelization.
Compression of video contents may cause picture distortion, especially in fast moving pictures such as sports
and action movies.
Low signal level can cause picture distortion. This is not a TV problem.
Mobile phones used close to the TV (up to 1 m) may cause noise in picture on analog and digital TV.
Color is wrong or missing.
If you’re using component connection, make sure the component cables are connected to the correct jacks.
Incorrect or loose connections may cause color problems or a blank screen.
There is poor color or brightness.
Adjust the Picture options in the TV menu. (Go to Picture Mode / Color / Brightness / Sharpness)
Adjust Energy Saving option in the TV menu (Go to MENU > System > Eco Solution > Energy Saving)
Try resetting the picture to view the default picture setting. (Go to MENU > Picture > Reset Picture)
