Connection Panel of Your Television

The actual configuration on your TV may be different, depending on
your model.

It takes about 30 seconds for the TV to warm up, so normal brightness may not appear 
immediately.

The TV has a fan to keep the inside lamp from overheating. You’ll occasionally hear it working.

The Information window appears as
illustrated above while the TV is turning on.
(Refer to the TV set’s display for animation
details). When successfully turned on, an
animated “Smile” figure appears and then
fades out slowly.

When these indicators appear, there is a
possible problem with the TV.

Lamp or other component
may be defective. Please
contact a certified
technician.

Check if the ventilation hole
on the rear of the set is
blocked, because if the inner
temperature is too high, the
power will shut off.

A cooling fan inside the set is
not operating normally.

The TV’s rear cover is not
properly shut.

Appears while the TV is
turning off.
