down from the ceiling.
•The screen of this set has an anti-reflection screen coating. To avoid screen degradation, follow the mentioned below:
•To remove dust from the screen surface, wipe with the suplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth.
•Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft dampened cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. As a safety precaution, unplug the
set before cleaning it.
