CHILD SAFETY  
It makes a difference how and where you use  
your flat panel display  
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 crate or 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.  
This apparatus is intended to be supported by a UL listed wall mount bracket, marked with a  
maximum loading weight of at least 49.4 lbs (22.4 kg).

Important safety instructions  
16 An apparatus with three-prong, grounding-type  
plug is a Class I apparatus, which needs to be  
grounded to prevent possible electric shock. Make  
sure that you connect the Class I apparatus to a  
grounding-type, three-prong outlet.  
17 Remote control batteries should not be exposed to  
excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.  
18 The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or  
splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as  
vases, should be placed on the apparatus.  
Important safety instructions  
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/DVD  
combo. This label is located on the  
back of your TV/DVD combo.  
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.  
This symbol indicates that there are  
important operating and maintenance  
instructions in the literature  
accompanying your TV/DVD combo.  
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 a dry cloth.  
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.  
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.  
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/DVD combo’s screen is made of glass. Do  
not drop your TV/DVD combo 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/DVD combo is in correct  
operating condition.  
15 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug  
must remain readily operable.

Important safety instructions  
DX-24LD230A12  
Power source  
Note to CATV system installer  
Operate your TV/DVD combo 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.  
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.  
Cautions  
Condensation  
Damage requiring service  
Moisture will form on the TV/DVD combo if the TV/DVD  
combo is brought from cool surroundings into a warm  
room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly.  
When this happens, the TV/DVD combo's performance  
may be impaired. To prevent this, let the TV/DVD combo  
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/DVD combo is exposed to the breeze from an air  
conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the  
TV/DVD combo.  
Unplug this TV/DVD combo 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/DVD combo.  
• If your TV/DVD combo has been exposed to rain or  
water.  
• If your TV/DVD combo 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/DVD combo to its normal operation.  
• If your TV/DVD combo has been dropped or  
damaged in any way.  
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/DVD combo.  
End of life directives  
• When your TV/DVD combo exhibits a distinct  
change in performance.  
Your TV/DVD combo 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/DVD combo 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.  
Outdoor antenna grounding  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your  
TV/DVD combo, 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  
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/DVD combo, and are not considered defects.
