General Information and Safety Instructions

FIRE AND SHOCK PRECAUTIONS
Adequate ventilation must be provided to prevent heat build up inside the unit. Keep the inside of the unit free from foreign objects, such as hairpins, nails, paper, etc. Do not put the set into a bookcase or other enclosures in which it would be poorly ventilated. Do not place it on carpet or a bed as low ventilation holes could become obstructed.
Do not set liquids, including flower vases and vessels filled with chemicals or water etc, on top of the unit

as liquid could get inside the unit. If a hazardous object falls inside the TV set, unplug immediately and call 1300 366 144 for further instruction. When placing or moving the TV set, take care to insure that the power cord is disconnected.
To avoid damage to the power cord, never allow heavy objects such as the TV set itself to be placed on the

power cord. Keep cord away from radiating appliances. Do not allow cord to become knotted or tangled. Do not lengthen the cord. When removing the power plug from the socket, always hold onto the plug, never pull by the cord.
This TV set must be connected to a mains power outlet with a protective earth connection.

The mains power outlet should remain readily accessible after installation. Naked flamed sources, such as lighted candles are never to be placed on or around the TV.
A minimum distance around the TV for sufficient ventilation. (150mm recommended minimum)

WARNING

If your set emits smoke or produces a strange sound or smell, immediately turn off your TV. During vacation or other occasions when you will not be using the set for an extended period, remove the

power plug from the socket.

Only using furniture that can safely support the television. Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture. Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both

the furniture and the television to a suitable support.

Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting

furniture.
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls. If a problem occured, and you do not know how to solve it, please do not hesitate to contact After Sales

NOTE: Some devices such as a PVR or DVD players require a HDMI signal to be set to output in the device's settings. - Please consult your device user manual for instructions.

What is HDMI?
- HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable without compression. -Multimedia interface is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels).The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi - channel digital audio. -Use the HDMI terminal for HDMI connection to a compatible device. If your external device has DVI only, you should use a DVI-to-HDMI cable (or adapter) for the connection, and the R -AUDIO - L terminal on DVI for sound output.
