Precautions

Viewing the TV

s

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

or during long period of time, strains your eyes.

s

When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid 

excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen

s

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.

s

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.

s

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.

s

Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed 

continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

s

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

This is not a malfunction.

s

The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal. 

Some fluorescent tubes used in this TV set also contain 

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.

s

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.

s

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.

s

Periodic vacuuming of the ventilation openings is 

recommended to ensure to proper ventilation.

s

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.
