Operate your TV/DVD combo only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult an electrician or your local power company.

Cautions

Damage requiring service

Unplug this TV/DVD combo from the power outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

•If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV/DVD combo.

•If your TV/DVD combo has been exposed to rain or water.

•If your TV/DVD combo does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your TV/DVD combo to its normal operation.

•If your TV/DVD combo has been dropped or damaged in any way.

•When your TV/DVD combo exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV/DVD combo, 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.

Note to CATV system installer

Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable ground must be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Condensation

Moisture will form on the TV/DVD combo if the TV/DVD combo is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the TV/DVD combo's performance may be impaired. To prevent this, let the TV/DVD combo 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 TV/DVD combo is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the TV/DVD combo.

Mobile telephone warning

To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound, operating problems, or even damage, keep your cordless and cellular telephones away from the TV/DVD combo.

End of life directives

Your TV/DVD combo contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated for environmental reasons. Your TV/DVD combo also contains material that can be recycled and reused. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eia.org to find a recycler in your area.

Non-active pixels

The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few non-active 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/DVD combo, and are not considered defects.
