Setting Up the TV
HP recommends professional installation from an authorized installer to ensure maximum enjoyment of your TV. Before
starting installation, be sure to read all the safety information and precautions; see the following topics:
“Important Safeguards” on page iii.
“Important Safety Instructions” on page v.
“Important Information” on page viii.
Selecting a Good Location
When selecting the location for your TV, consider the
following conditions:
Power cord length: Choose a location with easy
access to an AC power outlet.
Cable lengths and distances to attached units:
Check that cables can reach the TV.
Do not install the TV on an unstable cart or stand;
the unit may fall over and cause injury.
Do not install the TV where it has a protruding
edge such as on a small table where the display
overhangs the table surface.
Do not hang the TV from the ceiling; the unit may
fall and cause injury.
Avoid direct sunlight that may damage the display
or interfere with the operation of the remote
control.
Avoid areas of high humidity or damp conditions
that may cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not install TV near appliances such as a
microwave, or near a heat source such as a
fireplace or radiator.
Do not place the TV on a sloped or
unstable surface.
Provide a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) of
ventilation clearance around the TV.
Wall-mounting: Your TV can be wall-mounted by
using an HP-approved wall-mounting kit (sold
separately):
LCD TV Flat Mount, Model PY043AA#ABA
LCD TV Tilting Mount, Model PY044AA#ABA
To remove the TV stand, see “Removing or
attaching the stand” on page 23. Then follow the
installation instructions provided with the
wall-mounting kit. HP recommends professional
installation if you want to wall-mount your TV.
Consider the wireless network type: The
MediaSmart HDTV is equipped with an
IEEE 802.11n wireless module, which also
supports the other standards of 802.11a/b/g.
HP recommends use of a dual-band IEEE 802.11n
Wi-Fi network (access point/router and PC
network card) for best wireless performance.
