Power source

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 liq uid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
your TV/DVD combo.
• If your T V/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 of ten require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
your TV/DVD combo to its normal operation.
• If your T V/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.
