A television may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the television set.
• ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
• NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
• NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.

device’s volume level, you should select that device from the source list. In that case volume control keys are directed to connected audio device. When using the ARC connection, some incompatibilities may occur between the TV and the connected sound system due to the difference of the used volume ranges.
Note: ARC is supported only via the HDMI1 input.
System Audio Control
Allows an Audio Amplifier/Receiver to be used with the TV. The volume can be controlled using the remote control of the TV. To activate this feature set the Speakers option in the Settings>System>More menu as Amplifier. The TV speakers will be muted and the sound of the watched source will be provided from the connected sound system.
Note: The audio device should support System Audio Control feature and CEC option should be set as Enabled.
