IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CHILD SAFETY
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips
in mind:
THE ISSUE
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger •
flat panel displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are
not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, •
shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!
The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home •
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for •
the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this •
product.
Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.•
Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, •
such as a chest of drawers.
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, •
especially on a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken
to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or
knocked down.
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat•
panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY,
ALWAYS:
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.•
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer •
about professional installation.
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not •
designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure,
contact a professional installer.
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.•

V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into
your TV. This tool gives parents a great degree
of control over broadcasts accessed by their
children. It allows parents to select programs
judged suitable for child viewing while blocking
ones judged not suitable. It does so
automatically once you activate the V-CHIP
feature in your TV. "V-Chip" and "Status" will
not be selectable from the menu if you do not
first confi gure your secret number.
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content:
TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with
the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate
television shows from their children.
• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by
the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)
as watched on cable TV and not edited for
television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block
MPAA-rated movies.
• The setting automatically enters "Block" for any
ratings below your selection.

OK. You know, most of the collection here was put together during the Ching dynasty.
So, what did you think?
I was impressed with the landscape paintings, and all the jade carvings.
That jadecabbage just can't be beat!
Some of the bronze pieces go back to the 17th century B.C., but the collection itself was
set up by the first emperor of the Sung dynasty over a thousand years ago.
That's the same style roof as on the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial and the
Concert Hall, right? It seems like I've seen it before.

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture
may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will
recover when the temperature returns to normal.
Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location
exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform
and the Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature: -4°F to +140°F (-20°C to +60°C)
