trouble-free performance.
Important safeguards
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Warning
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover
or back. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your
TV combo to rain or moisture.
Caution
To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade on the power
cord plug to the wide slot on an electric outlet. If the plug does
not fit, consult a licensed electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not modify the power cord plug, or you will defeat
this safety feature.
This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage
constituting a risk of electric shock is present
within your TV combo. This label is located on
the back of your TV combo.
This symbol indicates that there are important
operating and maintenance instructions in the
literature accompanying your TV combo.

Laser safety
Your TV combo employs a laser. Only a qualified service
person should remove the cover or attempt to service your
TV combo because of possible eye injury.
Read instructions
Read all of the safety and operating instructions
before you use your TV combo.
Retain instructions
Retain safety and operating instructions for
future reference.
Follow warnings and instructions
Follow all warnings on your TV combo and in the
operating instructions. Follow all operating and
use instructions.
Water and moisture
Do not use your TV combo near water. For
example, do not use it near a bath tub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool.
Cleaning
Unplug your TV combo before cleaning. Do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp
cloth to clean the exterior of your TV combo.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back
or bottom are provided for ventilation, reliable
operation, and protection from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered.
Do not block the openings by placing your
TV combo on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. Do not place your TV combo near or
over a radiator or heat register. Do not place
your TV combo in a built-in installation, such as
a bookcase or rack, unless you provide correct
ventilation or follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Heat
Make sure that your TV combo is located away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
Grounding or polarization
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
grounding prong. The wide blade or grounding
prong are provided for your safety. If the plug
does not fit, contact an electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet.
Power cord protection
Route power cords so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from your TV combo.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by
Insignia because they may cause hazards.
Stand
Do not place your TV combo on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. Your
TV combo may fall, causing serious personal
injury and serious damage to your TV combo.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with your TV combo. If you mount your
TV combo to the wall, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer. Your
TV combo and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause your TV combo
and cart combination to overturn.
Lightning
For added protection for your TV combo’s
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 the antenna or cable system. This
helps prevent damage to your TV combo from
lightning and power line surges.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service your TV combo
yourself because opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
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.
Overloading
Do not overload power outlets and extension
cords because this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
Warning
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Visible and invisible laser radiation is present
when open and interlock defeated.
Do not stare into beam.
The laser is located inside, near the deck
mechanism.
Note
A product that is meant for uninterrupted service
and, that for some specific reason, such as the
possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a
CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged
by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may
exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance
in the cleaning description.

Object and liquid entry
Never push objects of any kind into your
TV combo through openings because objects
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on your TV combo.
Damage requiring service
Unplug your TV 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 combo.
If your TV combo has been exposed to rain
or water.
If your TV 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 combo to its normal operation.
If your TV combo has been dropped or
damaged in any way.
When your TV combo exhibits a distinct
change in performance.
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to your
TV combo, ask the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine that your
TV combo is in correct operating condition.
Power source
Operate your TV combo only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type power supplied to
your home, consult your TV dealer or local
power company.
Screen protection
Your TV combo’s screen is made of glass. Do
not drop your TV combo or hit the glass screen.
If the screen breaks, be careful of broken glass.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to your TV 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 conductors,
location of the antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of
the NEC that provides guidelines for correct
grounding and in particular, specifies that the
cable ground must be connected to the
grounding system of the building as close to the
point of cable entry as practical.
In case of theft
You can find your TV combo’s serial number on
the back of your TV combo. You should record
the number and other vital information here and
retain this book as a permanent record of your
purchase to aid identification in case of theft.
Serial numbers are not kept on file at Insignia.

Features of digital broadcasting
Digital broadcasting uses the newest
broadcasting technology, such as compression
of audio and video signals, and provides better
image and sound quality than analog
broadcasting. A high definition television (HDTV)
displays sharper and finer images than a
standard definition television (SDTV) using
double scanning lines. An HDTV can also
display the 16:9 wide screen format that fits
more to the range of human vision.
Digital broadcasting offers the 5.1channel
surround broadcast to give you the feeling of
being in a stadium or theater.
In addition, digital broadcasting has overcome
problems experienced with analog television,
such as ghosting or interference with digital
technology.
Minor channel of digital broadcasting
In digital broadcasting, the selected channel can
have the sub channel, which is called the minor
channel. Though the minor channel programs
provide a little poorer image quality than the
High Definition Television (HDTV) programs,
they have such an advantage as it will not move
back other programs even when a sport relay is
extended.
