screen, no sound, frozen picture, TV does not
respond, or network is lost, do the following
steps.

provided on the back cover).
When you plug in the TV, the TV may not be
able to turn on for a while even if you press
the power button on the remote control or

It takes time to initialize the system. Wait for
about one minute, then operate it again.

The TV surrounds become warm.
 When the TV is used for an extended period, the
TV surrounds become warm. You may feel hot
when touching there by the hand.
The screen becomes darker while watching
TV.

If the whole image or part of the image remains
still, the screen brightness will be gradually
reduced to prevent image retention. This is not a
malfunction of the TV.
You are concerned about image retention.
If the same image is displayed repeatedly or for
long periods of time, image retention may
occur. To reduce image retention, we
recommend that you turn off the TV normally by
pressing the power button on the remote
control or the TV.
Note
• Perform Panel refresh manually only when image
retention is particularly noticeable. As a reference,
perform it only once a year. Avoid performing it more
than once a year because it may affect the usable life
of the panel.
• Images that include clocks, logos and bright colours
(including white) easily cause image retention. Avoid
displaying these types of images for long periods of
time, otherwise image retention may occur.
