•  Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is 

connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna 

system is grounded so as to provide some protection against 

voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the 

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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 grounding conductors, location of antenna-

discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and 

requirements for the grounding electrode.

•  Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or 

laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

•  Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base 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.

•  Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.

•  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 Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or 

applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the panel breaks.

•  Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other 

products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

•  The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 1,049,088 pixels, giving you fine picture details. 

Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that 

this does not affect the performance of your product.

•  Lightning — For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended 

and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent 

damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

•  Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric 

light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, 

extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

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

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

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

•  To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or splashing.

  No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.

•  Do not insert foreign objects into the product. Inserting objects in the air vents or other 

openings may result in fire or electric shock. Exercise special caution when using the product 

around children.

•  CONDENSATION — Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the player 

is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises 

suddenly. When this happens, player’s performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the 

player stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature 

rises gradually. Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air 

conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the player.

•  DISC SLOT — Keep your fingers well clear of the disc slot as it is closing. Failure to do so may cause serious personal injury.

•  LASER BEAM — Do not look into the opening of the disc slot or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of 

the laser beam. Doing so may cause sight damage.

•  DISC — Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious 

personal injury and product malfunction.

•  When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always 

carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.

•  Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the cabinet.

•  Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause cracking.

•  Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the cabinet.

•  If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water 

and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

•  The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the 

cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.

•  Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids.

  Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. Plasticizers 

inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.
