To view high-definition programming, you must have a high-definition signal source, such as an off-the-air high-definition antenna or cable HD signal, a cable or satellite provider HD set-top box, or an HD-DVD player, connected to the TV. All sources except an HD antenna or a cable HD signal must connect to one of the High Definition Input connector sets on the rear of the TV.

■Do not install the TV on an unstable cart or stand; the unit may fall over and cause injury

■Do not install the TV where it has a protruding edge, such as on a small table where the display overhangs the table surface

■Do not hang the TV from the ceiling; the unit may fall and cause injury

■Do not place the TV on a sloped or unstable surface.

■Provide a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) of ventilation clearance around the TV.

■Wall-mounting: Your TV can be wall-mounted by using an HP approved wall mounting kit (sold separately):
