Securing to a table-top

1. Using wood screws (two) fasten the set to the
clamping screw holes on the rear of the Plasma
Display stand as shown below.
2. Using commercially available wood screws, secure
the set firmly in position.

bracket option, please ask for
professional installer. Do not install

Caution when moving the main unit

As this product is heavy, whenever it is moved, two
people are required to transport it safely. Whenever the
unit is moved it should be lifted forward using the top
and base on both sides of the Television for stability.
When moving the Television, lift the handles (42"
models), support the top frame (55" models) and the
bottom frame as shown below. Do not grab the
speakers or the back cover when lifting.

ANTENNA
Unless your Plasma Television is connected to a cable
TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good
outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best
performance. However, if you are located in an
exceptionally good signal area that is free from
interference and multiple image ghosts,
an indoor antenna may be sufficient.
LOCATION
Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor
illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen.
Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free
flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the
set. In order to prevent an internal temperature
increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches) from the
sides/back of the Television, and 30 cm (12 inches)
from the top of the television to the wall. To avoid
cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased
chance of set failure, do not place the TV where
temperatures can become excessively hot, for
example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance,
etc.
