[Shipping Condition] (p. 14)

There may be red, blue, green and black spots on 
the screen

 

This is a characteristic of liquid crystal panels and is 
not a problem. The liquid crystal panel is built with 
very high precision technology giving you fine picture 
details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may 
appear on the screen as a fixed point of red, green, 
blue or black. Please note this does not affect the 
performance of your LCD.

Parts of the TV become hot

 

Even if the temperature of parts of the front, top and 
rear panels has risen, these temperature rises do 
not cause any problems in terms of performance or 
quality.

The LCD panel moves slightly and clattered sound is 
heard when it is pushed with a finger

 

There is a little gap around the panel to prevent 
damage to the panel. This is not a malfunction.

Overcurrent error message appears

 

The connected USB device might cause this error. 
Remove the device and turn the TV to standby mode 
with Standby On / Off switch, then turn it on again.

 

Check foreign objects are not inside the USB port.

Before requesting service or assistance, please follow 
these simple guides to solve the problem. When an error 
message appears, follow the message’s instructions. If

dealer or the authorised service centre.

Block noise, frozen or disappearing image occurs 
in Digital TV mode / White spots or shadow image 
(ghosting) occurs in Analogue mode / Some 
channels cannot be tuned

 

Check the position, direction and connection of the 
aerial.

 

Check [Digital TV Signal Condition] (p. 15). If [Signal 
Condition] is poor, check aerial.

 

Weather conditions will affect signal reception (heavy 
rain, snow, etc.), in particular in poor reception areas. 
Even during good weather, the high pressure can 
cause poor reception of some channels.

 

Due to the digital reception technologies involved, 
quality of the digital signals may be relatively low in 
some cases, despite good reception of analogue 
channels.

 

Consult your local dealer or service provider for the 
availability of services.
