As you enjoy your new product, keep these

safety tips in mind

The issue

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular

purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed

according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics

industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or

carts may fall over and cause injury.

Tune into safety

• One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand

rated for the weight of your TV.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions

for proper use of this product.

• Don’t let children climb on or play with entertainment

system furniture and TVs.

• Don’t place TVs 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” TV.

Make sure that you place or install the TV where it cannot

be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they

cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

Wall mounting

If you decide to wall mount your TV, always remember:

• One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of

your TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this

manual, or otherwise listed by an independent laboratory as suitable for your TV.

• Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a

professional installer.

• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is

appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be

mounted to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If

you are unsure, ask a professional installer.

• TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

CHILD SAFETY

It makes a difference how and where you use

your flat panel display

NS-L47Q09-10A

www.insigniaproducts.com

Important safety

instructions

1 Read these instructions.

2 Keep these instructions.

3 Heed all warnings.

4 Follow all instructions.

5 Do not use this apparatus near water.

6 Clean only with dry cloth.

7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in

accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions.

8 Do not install near any heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce

heat.

9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized

plug has two blades with one wider than the

other. A grounding type plug has two blades

and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or

the third prong are provided for your safety. If

the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,

consult an electrician for replacement of the

obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the apparatus.

11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by

the manufacturer.

12 Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specified by the

manufacturer, or sold with the

apparatus. When a cart is used, use

caution when moving the

cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from

tip-over.

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms

or when unused for long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has

been damaged in any way, such as

power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid

has been spilled or objects have fallen into the

apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to

rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or

has been dropped.

15 The mains plug is the disconnecting device. The

plug must remain readily operable.

16 The apparatus with grounding-type plug is a

class I apparatus. Class I apparatus need to be

connected to earth ground wire to prevent

possible electric shock. Make sure that you

connect the class I apparatus to a mains socket

outlet with a protective earthing connection.

17 Remote control batteries should not be exposed

to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the

like.

18 The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping

or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids,

such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Warnings

Electric shock hazard

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

remove any cover or expose the device to rain or

moisture. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer

servicing to qualified service technicians.

Lightning

For added protection for your device receiver

during a lightning storm, or when it is left

unattended and unused for long periods of time,

unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect any

antenna or cable system. This helps prevent

property damage and personal injury from

lightning and power line surges.

Power lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in

the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall

into such power lines or circuits. When installing an

outside antenna system, extreme care should be

taken to keep from touching such power lines or

circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Handling the LCD panel

• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop

your TV or hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD

panel. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken

glass.

• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure

that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This

may cause skin inflammation.

• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately

gargle, rinse, and consult with your doctor. Also, if

the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin,

consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least

15 minutes or longer in clean water.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure

that the service technician uses replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer that have the same

characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock,

personal injury, or other hazards.

Safety check

After completing any service or repair to this device,

ask the service technician to perform routine safety

checks to determine that your TV is in correct

operating condition.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

This symbol indicates that dangerous

voltage constituting a risk of electric

shock is present within your TV. This

label is located on the back of your TV.

This symbol indicates that there are

important operating and maintenance

instructions in the literature

accompanying your TV.

S3125A

www.insigniaproducts.com

Power source

Operate your TV only from the type of power source

indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure

of the type of power supplied to your home, consult

an electrician or your local power company.

Cautions

Damage requiring service

Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer

servicing to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged

or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen

into your TV.

• If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.

• If your TV does not operate normally by following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those

controls that are covered by the operating

instructions because incorrect adjustment of

other controls may result in damage and will

often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore your TV to its normal

operation.

• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any

way.

• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in

performance.

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected

to your TV, make sure that the antenna or cable

system is grounded to provide some protection

against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with

respect to correct grounding of the mast and

supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire

to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode.

Note to CATV system installer

Article 820 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides guidance for correct

grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable

ground must be connected to the grounding

system of the building as close to the point of cable

entry as practical.

Condensation

Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought

from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the

temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this

happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To

prevent this, let the TV stand in its new

surroundings for about an hour before switching it

on, or make sure that the room temperature rises

gradually.

Condensation may also form during the summer if

the TV is exposed to the breeze from an air

conditioner. In such cases, change the location of

the TV.

Mobile telephone warning

To avoid interference with your TV picture and

sound, operating problems, or even damage, keep

your cordless and cellular telephones away from

the TV.

End of life directives

Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent

lamp containing a small amount of mercury.

Disposal of these materials may be regulated for

environmental reasons. Your TV also contains

material that can be recycled and reused. For

disposal or recycling information, contact your local

authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at

www.eia.org to find a recycler in your area.

Non-active pixels

The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film

transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video

quality. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may

appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red

point. These non-active pixels do not adversely

affect the performance of your TV, and are not

considered defects.

Aiming the remote control

To aim the remote control:

• Point the remote control towards the remote

sensor on the front of your TV.

Programming a universal remote control to

work with your TV

You can operate your Insignia TV with a new or

existing universal remote control.

To program a universal remote control:

1 Find the code for your universal remote control

by identifying its model (or your set-top box’s

remote control manufacturer and model) on the

charts below, then making note of the

numbered code below it. You will use the

numbered code to program your remote control

to work with your Insignia TV.

Codes for other remote controls are available

online at:

www.insigniaproducts.com/universalcontrolcodes.aspx

2 Follow your universal remote control’s

instructions to enter the TV code you found in

Step 1.

3 If all else fails, you must use a different universal

remote control that can operate both your

set-top box and your TV. Four such remotes are

listed on the chart, but many other compatible

models are available in the market.

For more help, call technical support for your

universal remote control or set-top box

manufacturer, or call the Insignia Customer Care

Center at 1-877-467-4289.

Making connections

Connecting the power

To connect the power:

• Plug the power cord into the AC IN jack on the

back of your TV, then plug the other end of the

cord into a power outlet.

Connecting an outdoor antenna

Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and

300 ohm.

To connect an outdoor antenna:

1 Turn off your TV and all connected equipment.

2 If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm connector,

connect the cable to the ANTENNA/CABLE

DIGITAL/ANALOG jack on the back of your TV.

Or,

If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm connector,

connect the cable to a 300-75 ohm adapter (not

included), connect the adapter to a 75 ohm

cable, then connect the other end of the 75 ohm

connector to the ANTENNA/CABLE

DIGITAL/ANALOG jack on the back of your TV.

3 Connect the other end of the cable to the

antenna jack.

Notes

• Do not expose the remote control to shock or

liquids.

• Do not use the remote control in an area with

high humidity.

• Do not place the remote control in direct

sunlight.

• Do not place objects, such as furniture, between

the remote control and the remote sensor.

• The remote control may not work if direct

sunlight or bright light shines on the remote

sensor. Either move your TV or change the angle

at which you use the remote control.

Your TV has a 75 ohm jack for connecting cable TV.

Some cable TV providers scramble the signals for

“premium” (pay) channels. To view these channels,

you need a converter/descrambler box.

If you do not require a converter/descrambler box,

you can connect your cable TV directly to your TV.

For more information, see “No

converter/descrambler box” on page 9.

If you require a converter/descrambler box, you can

connect your cable TV using an RF switch (not

included). For more information about connecting

a converter/descrambler box, see “With

converter/descrambler box” on page 9 and contact

your cable TV provider.

You can also connect cable TV using an HDMI,

component video, S-Video, or AV connection,

depending on your cable box. For more

information, see “Connecting cable TV via a cable

TV box” on page 9.

If your cable box descrambles only some channels

(such as premium channels), you need a two-way

splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of

antenna cable. The two-way splitter and RF switch

are not provided.

To connect cable TV with a

converter/descrambler box:

• Use the following illustration as a guide to

connect a converter/descrambler box.

Set the RF switch to the A position to tune to

unscrambled channels using your TV remote

control. Set the RF switch to the B position to

watch scrambled channels using the

converter/descrambler controls.

Connecting cable TV via a cable TV box

1 Connect the incoming cable from the cable wall

jack to the cable-in jack on the cable box.

2 Depending on the jacks available on the cable

box, connect a cable from the outgoing jacks on

the cable box to the corresponding jacks on the

back of your TV. The connection can be to the

cable-out, HDMI, component video, S-Video, or

AV jack.

3 If you use a component video, S-Video, or AV

cable, connect an audio cable to the

corresponding jacks on the back of your TV and

on the cable box.

Maintaining

• Do not use your TV in areas that are too hot or too

cold, because the cabinet may warp or the screen

may malfunction. Your TV works best in

temperatures that are comfortable to you.

• Storage temperatures are 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C).

• Working temperatures are 41° to 104°F (5° to

40°C).

• Do not place your TV in direct sunlight or near a

heat source.

Cleaning the TV cabinet

Clean the cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. If the

cabinet is especially dirty, moisten a soft, lint-free

cloth in a weak detergent solution, squeeze the

excess moisture from the cloth, then wipe the

screen or cabinet with the cloth. Use a clean cloth to

dry the screen or cabinet.

Cleaning the TV screen

Clean the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Troubleshooting

Warning

Do not try to repair your TV yourself. Refer all service

to a qualified service technician.

Problem Solution

No power

• Make sure that the power cord is

correctly connected to your TV and

a power outlet.

• Unplug the power cord, wait 60

seconds, then plug the cord back in

and turn on your TV.

No picture

• Make sure that Audio Only option

is set to Off. For more information,

see “Playing TV audio only” on

page 18.

• Make sure that the video cables are

connected securely to the back of

your TV.

• Adjust the contrast and brightness.

• Make sure that the correct video

mode is selected.

• Make sure that the incoming signal

is compatible.

• Make sure the antenna is

connected correctly.

• Check the closed caption settings.

Some TEXT modes can block the

screen.

Good picture but no sound

• Increase the volume.

• Make sure that the sound is not

muted.

• Make sure that the correct audio

mode is selected.

Good sound but poor color

• Adjust the contrast, color, and

brightness settings.

Poor picture

• Make sure that the room is not too

bright. Light reflecting off the

screen can make the picture

difficult to see.

• If an S-VHS camera or a camcorder

is connected while another

connected device is turned on, the

picture may be poor. Turn off one or

more devices.

Horizontal dotted line

• Your TV may be too close to another

electrical device, such as a hair

dryer or neon light. Turn off the

device or move your TV.

“Ghost” or double image

• This may be caused by obstructions

to the antenna, such as high-rise

buildings or hills. Use of a highly

directional antenna may improve

the picture quality.

• Replace the batteries. Make sure

that the + and – symbols on the

batteries align with the + and –

symbols in the battery

compartment.

• Clean the remote sensor on the

front of your TV.

• Bright or fluorescent lighting may

interfere with the remote control

signal. Turn off the light or move

your TV.

Snowy picture or noise

• Make sure that the A/V and

antenna cables are connected

correctly and securely.

VGA picture is not stable or

synchronized

• Make sure that you have selected

the correct VGA mode on your

No output from one of the speakers

• Adjust the balance in the Audio

menu.

Control buttons do not work

• Make sure that the Button Lock

option is set to Off. For more

information, see “Locking control

buttons” on page 25.

• Unplug the power cord, wait a few

seconds, then plug the cord back in

and turn on your TV.

After images appear

• Do not display a still image, such as

a logo, game, or computer image,

for an extended period of time. This

can cause a permanent after-image

to be burned into the screen. This

type of damage is not covered by

your warranty.

Picture has a few bright or dark dots

• A few bright or dark dots on an LCD

screen is normal. It does not affect

the operation of this TV.
