Precautions

Viewing the TV

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

poor light or during long period of time, strains your 
eyes.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to 

avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed 

continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

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

use. This is not a malfunction.

• 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.
• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Optional Equipment

Keep optional components or any equipment emitting 
electromagnetic radiation away from the TV set. Otherwise 
picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur.
