Do not continue to operate the unit if you are in any
•
doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged
in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.
Location of Unit
The unit must be placed on a flat stable surface and not
•
subjected to vibrations.
Do not place the unit on a sloped or unstable surfaces
•
as the unit may fall off or tip over.
The mains socket must be located near the unit and
•
should be easily accessible.
This unit is designed for indoor use only.
•
Temperature
Avoid extreme degrees of temperature, either hot or
•
cold, place the unit well away from heat sources such as
radiators or gas/electric fires.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and other sources of
•
heat.
Naked Flames
Never place any type of candle or naked flame on the
•
top or near the unit.
Moisture
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product
•
damage, do not expose this unit to rain, moisture,
dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, should be placed on the unit.
If any liquid is split into the unit it can cause serious
•
damage.
If you spill any liquid into the unit, switch it off at the
•
mains immediately. Withdraw the mains plug and consult
your dealer.
Ventilation
To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire hazard due to
•
overheating, ensure that curtains and other materials do
not obstruct the ventilation vents.
Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in
•
cabinet or in another confined space. Ensure the unit is
well ventilated.
Make sure that there is a gap of at least 10 cm on
•
side and a gap of 20 cm at the top & beside the DVD
mechanism.
Safety
Always disconnect the unit from the mains supply before
•
connecting/disconnecting other devices or moving the
unit.
Unplug the unit from the mains socket during a lightning
•
storm.
Mains Cable
Make sure the unit or unit stand is not resting on top of
•
the mains cable, as the weight of the unit may damage
the mains cable and create a safety hazard.
If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by
•
the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Interference
Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may
•
cause electromagnetic interference (the unit or Hi-Fi
speakers). If you do, it may adversely affect the working
of the unit, and cause a distorted picture or sound.
Optimum viewing
View the unit in moderate light to prevent eye strain. It is
•
recommended to watch the unit from a distance
3-7 times that of the screen height.
LCD screen
The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision
•
technology. However, some tiny black points and/
or bright points (red, blue or green in colour) may
constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are
generated in the manufacturing process and are normal.
Screen Burn
A characteristic of Plasma and LCD TV Panels is that
•
displaying the same image for a long time may cause a
permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is
called screen burn. Most pictures shown on the unit will
be constantly moving and fill the screen.
Examples of images that you need to watch out for are
•
as follows (this is not an all-inclusive list):
Black Bars:
11
If black bars appear at the left/right
or top/bottom of the screen, it is recommended to
change the format so that the picture fills the entire
screen.
TV Channel Logos:
21
e.g. Shopping channel logos
and pricing displays - especially if they are bright
and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are
less likely to cause ageing of the screen.
Time Displays
31
41 Teletext:
Do not view a stationary page for long
periods of time.
TV/DVD Menus:
51
e.g. Listings of DVD disk content.
Pause Mode:
61
Do not leave the screen in pause
mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching
DVDs or videos.
To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for
•
long periods of time, reduce contrast and brightness
when viewing. Once burn-in occurs it will never
disappear completely.
