SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in LCD television have special safety-related characteristics.
These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection, nor can protection afforded by them be necessarily
increased by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.

For continued protection, replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuit.

IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY PRECAUTION
Service work should be performed only by qualied service technicians who are thoroughly familiar with all
safety checks and the servicing guidelines which follow:
WARNING
1.Forcontinuedsafety,nomodicationofanycircuitshouldbeattempted.
2. Disconnect AC power before servicing.
BEFORE RETURNING THE RECEIVER (Fire & Shock Hazard)
Before returning the receiver to the user, perform the following safety checks:
1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are not pinched, and check that hardware is not lodged between the
chassis and other metal parts in the receiver.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic control knobs, insulation materials, cabinet backs, adjustment and
compartment covers or shields, isolation resistor-capacitor networks, mechanical insulators, etc.
