CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Precautions
Be sure to remove the power plug from the receptacle before
cleaning the display.
Be sure not to clean the display using a cloth dampened with
volatile solvents, such as benzene or thinner. Such solvents can
harm the display’s cabinet, the filter at the screen front, and the
remote control. They can also cause paint to come off these
sections.
Action
• Check whether the power plug is securely inserted into the receptacle.
• Check cables for disconnection.
• Check whether the power for all input equipment is ON.
• Check for connection to wrong terminals or for wrong input mode.
• Check for incorrect battery orientation.
• Check for dead batteries.
• Check for distance from the display.
• Check whether you are pointing the remote control transmitter properly at the display’s
receiver.
• Check for any obstacle between the remote control and the display.
• This sound is produced when the cabinet expands or contracts due to variations in
temperature. This sound does not indicate that the display has a problem.
• The display has a fan to maintain the temperature of internal components at a constant
level. This sound is produced by the fan as it rotates.
• Check whether your AV equipment is affected by interference from automobiles, trains,
high-voltage transmission lines, neon signs or other potential sources of interference.
• Check whether all image adjustments have been properly made.
(See “Adjusting Images” on P. E-26–E-27.)
• Check whether screen position and size have been properly adjusted.
(See “Adjusting Screen Position and Size” on P. E-30–E-31.)
• Check whether you have set the display for use of internal speakers.
(See “Adjusting Sound” on P. E-28–E-29.)
• Check cables for disconnection.
• Check whether you have set the display for use of external speakers.
(See “Adjusting Sound” on P. E-28–E-29.)
• Check whether you have selected “No audio” for the “Audio input” setting.
(See “Extended Features” on P. E-35–E-39.)

60 Hz for XGA.

the components have cooled sufficiently.) If the message appears again when you turn
the power back on, turn off the main power switch, remove the power plug from the
receptacle, and contact your dealer for a repairs.
• Turn OFF the main power switch, remove the power plug from the receptacle, and
inform your dealer about how the lamp flashed.
