Special disposal of this product for environmental reasons may be required under the laws applicable to your jurisdiction. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org.Refer to the identication/rating label located on the back panel of your product for its proper operating voltage.FCC regulations state that changes or modications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.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 a similar surface, as the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit may 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 sides of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces. Also, make sure the surface or stand 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 shut the power off. In order to shut the power off, you will need to disconnect the power cord from your outlet. Therefore, you should make sure the TV is installed in a way that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.Product RegistrationPlease ll out the product registration card (packed separately) and return it immediately.

 3Important Safety Instructions1.  Read and follow all instructions.2.  Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.3.  Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus    (including ampliers)that produce heat.4.  Do not negate 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 t your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.5.  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, receptacles, and    the point where it exits from the component.6.  Do not use this component near water.7.

When the TV is placed on a cart, use caution when moving the cart to avoid    injury from tip-over.10. Unplug this component during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.11. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Service is required when the component is    damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug damage, liquid spilled on or objects    falling onto the component, rain or moisture exposure, abnormal operation, or if the component    has been dropped.12. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or    cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-   up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 (Section    54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) provides information with respect 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.

Re-connect your device. Reset the power by unplugging      the power cord and plugging it back in. If problems persist, try connecting the Y Pb Pr jacks if they     are available or contact the manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI component for further assistance.•   If you have black bars on each side of your picture, the component you connected might have a      switch or a menu option allowing you to change the picture quality output that will x this.
