About the TV
Although the TV is made with high-precision technology, black dots may
appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly
on the screen. This is a structural property of the panel and is not a defect.
Installation
s
If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen,
part of the screen may appear white due to reflections from behind the
screen. This is a structural property of the TV.
Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight.
s
The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. For the
best picture quality, install your TV according to “Recommended
Viewing Area” on page 12.
s
When installing your TV against a wall, keep it at least 4 inches (10
cm) away from the wall.
Projection Lamp
s
Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to replace
the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when:
• the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please
replace the lamp.” appears on the screen,
• the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks in red,
• screen images become dark,
• no image appears on the display after prolonged use.
s
In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp
unit is designed to contain all of broken glass pieces inside the lamp
unit. (See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 49.)
s
When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop
sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp.
