Precautions

Viewing the TV

• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor 

light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid 

excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision 

technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, 

black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, 

or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This 

is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a 

malfunction.

• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on 

top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD 

screen may be damaged.

• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in 

the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not 

indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the 

temperature rises.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed 

continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in 

use. This is not a malfunction.

• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal 

and mercury. The fluorescent tubes used in this TV set 

also contains mercury. Follow your local ordinances and 

regulations for disposal.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of 

the TV set

Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set 

from mains socket before cleaning.

To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, 

observe the following precautions.

• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe 

gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a 

soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent 

solution.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, 

scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, 

benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or 

maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl 

materials may result in damage to the screen surface and 

cabinet material.

• When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so 

as to prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from 

its table stand

Optional Equipment

Keep optional components or any equipment emitting 

electromagnetic radiation away from the TV set. Otherwise 

picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur.
