Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. 22. Upon completion of any service or repair to this device, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the device is in proper operating condition. LCD Cells The LCD Panel consists of 3 million cells. It is therefore possible that a few cells might be flawed. We allow a maximum of 6 defective cells for the device to be in proper running order. Please recognize that a device with 6 or fewer defective cells cannot be exchanged or refunded. 5 User Instructions Recommendation to Avoid or Minimize Phosphor Burn-in: Like all phosphor-based display devices and all TFT LCD Displays, LCD TV' s can be susceptible to phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. To protect your investment in this LCD TV, please adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing the occurrence of image burn. 1. Always enable and use your computer's screen-saver function during use with a computer input source. 2. Display a moving image whenever possible. 3. Change the position of the menu display from time to time. 4. Always power down the LCD TV when you are finished using it. 5. Lower the brightness and contrast levels as much as possible without impairing image readability. 6. Display an image with many colors and color gradations (i.e. photographic or photorealistic images). 7. Create image content with minimal contrast between light and dark areas, for example white characters on black backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel colors whenever possible. 8. Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct, sharply defined borders between colors. 9. Refer to the "Long Life Functions" section in this manual to minimize image burn. Burn-in is not covered by the warranty. Cell Defect The TFT LCD panel consists of fine cells. Although the panels are produced with more than 99.9 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit. Warranty Warranty Period: One year from the date of purchase of your LCD TV. Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention. 6 Table of Contents START-UP Part Names and Functions ..............................8~9 Checking Parts ..................................................10 Battery Installation and Replacement ................10 SOUND Changing the Sound Standard ..........................31 Customizing the Sound......................................31 Setting the BBE Mode .......................................32 Setting the Surround Effect ...............................32 Selecting the Stereo Sound ..............................33 Using the Auto Volume(AVL).............................33 CONNECTION Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas.................11 Connecting a Video/S-VHS ...............................12 Connecting a DVD Player(Component Video) ......12 Connecting a DTV Receiver(Component Video)...13 Connecting a DTV Receiver (DVI).....................14 Connecting a PC(DVI) .......................................15 Connecting a PC(RGB) .....................................16 SETUP Changing the Screen Size..................................34 Protecting Screen burn (Long Life).....................35 Setting the Clock................................................36 Setting the Sleep Timer ....................................37 Viewing the Closed Captions.............................37 Factory Reset ....................................................38 REMOTE CONTROL Remote Control Buttons ....................................17 LCD Window Feature ........................................18 How to Control Other Brand Products .........19~20 How to Confirm the MBR Code .........................21 PUNCH Buttons.................................................22 RESET...............................................................23 PIP (Picture In Picture) Viewing the Picture In Picture...........................39 Freezing the Sub-Picture ...................................39 Operating conditions of PIP ...............................40 BASIC OPERATION Turning the LCD TV On and Off...........................24 Viewing the OSD Menu ........................................24 Displaying Status Information .............................25 Selecting your Language .....................................25 OSD Setting the OSD Time Out .................................41 Changing the OSD Position...............................41 V-CHIP V-CHIP Operation........................................42~47 CHANNEL Setting up Channels Automatically ...................26 Adding and Erasing Channels ...........................26 Using the LNA(LowNoiseAmplifier)....................27 Fine Tuning Channels.........................................27 OPERATION WITH A PC Display Settings ...........................................48~49 Picture Color Adjustment ...................................50 Picture Position Adjustment...............................51 Frequency Adjustment.......................................51 Phase Adjustment..............................................52 Automatic Quality Adjustment............................52 Serial Control Using RS-232C .....................53~54 General RS-232 Command Structure................55 DIRECT ACCESS FEATURES Selecting Channels..............................................28 Using the FAV button to Select the previous channel...28 Adjusting the Volume..............................................28 Switching the Sound Off Temporarily....................28 Selecting a Device from External Sources.........29 APPENDIX Troubleshooting .................................................56 Specifications.....................................................57 Manufacturer MBR Codes ...........................58~60 How to Set Up the Lockout Function .................61 APPENDIX.........................................................62 PICTURE Changing the Picture standard .........................30 Customizing the Picture.....................................30 7 Part Names and Functions FRONT VIEW SPEAKER POWER/LED IR Receiver Menu : Displays the On screen Display (OSD).
