SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety-related characteristics. These parts are identified by in the
Schematic Diagram and Exploded View.
It is essential that these special safety parts should be replaced with the same components as recommended in this manual to prevent
Shock, Fire, or other Hazards.
Do not modify the original design without permission of manufacturer.

(6) If your TV is turned on, check your updated version and
Tool option. (explain the Tool option, next stage)
* If downloading version is more high than your TV have,
TV can lost all channel data. In this case, you have to
channel recover. if all channel data is cleared, you didn’t
have a DTV/ATV test on production line.
* After downloading, have to adjust TOOL OPTION again.

1) Push "IN-START" key in service remote controller.
2) Select "Tool Option 1" and Push “OK” button.
