■ When a fixed image (e.g. logos, screen menus, video game, and computer display) is displayed on the TV
for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on the screen. This phenomenon is known
as “image burn” or “burn-in.” Image burn is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
■ In order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a fixed image on your TV screen for a prolonged period
(2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma).
■ Image burn can also occur on the letterboxed
areas of your TV if you use the 4:3 aspect
ratio setting for an extended period.

SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING
WHEN THE TV IS USED ON A STAND
■ You should purchase necessary components to prevent the TV from tipping over (when not using a wall mount).
PREPARATION
We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,
potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.
■ Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.
* If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (sold separately) to the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is
mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.
Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.
■ Use a sturdy rope (sold separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie
the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.
! NOTE
G Use a platform or cabinet strong enough and large enough to support
the size and weight of the TV.
G To use the TV safely, make sure that the height of the bracket on the
wall and the one on the TV are the same.

■ To prevent damage do not connect to the power outlet until all connections are made between the devices.
