Warnings  
Avoiding Ghost Images  
Displaying xed images for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but temporary ghost  
image on your screen. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern.  
Examples include, but are not limited to the following:  
For example...  
• Stock-market report bars  
• Shopping channel logos and pricing  
displays  
TV on  
TV off  
• Video game patterns or scoreboards  
• Bright station logos  
• Internet web sites or other computer-style  
images.  
• DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs  
• Broadcast, cable, satellite channels or  
digital television tuners/converters.

Caring for the Cabinet  
Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.  
If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth, slightly  
moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to help  
remove spots of oily dirt.  
• DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.  
• DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.  
• DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surface.  
• DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.  
Caring for the Screen  
The screen is treated with an electrostatic-proof coating. When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a  
soft cloth. If the screen is very dirty, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in a diluted kitchen cleaner  
and thoroughly wrung-out. Then wipe immediately after with a clean, dry cloth.  
Do not apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the screen.  
These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.  
Do not push or hit the screen. This could cause scratches on the screen surface and image  
distortions.

Quick Setup  
Getting Started  
These quick setup pages will provide you, in three easy steps, with the basic information you  
need to begin using your new television right away. If you have questions, or for more detailed  
information on any of these steps, please consult other sections of this manual.  
Step 1 – The Remote Control  
Before you can operate your remote control, you  
first need to install the batteries (included).  
Slide the cover on the back of the remote down  
towards the bottom of the remote control. Insert  
two batteries (included) carefully noting the “+”  
and “–” markings, placing the “–” end in the unit  
first. Slide the cover back into place.  
When you change the batteries, try to complete the task within three minutes. If you take  
longer than three minutes, the remote control codes for your VCR, DVD, and/or cable  
box/satellite receiver may have to be reset. See pages 28 - 31.  
Key Feature Buttons  
The four key feature buttons at the center of the remote can be
