Maintenance
1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and
a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the
screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your TV.
1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.
2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.
3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.
Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the TV from dirt and dust, as well as keep the cabinet looking
new.
If you intend to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power cord
to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use an off-air antenna, you may also want to
disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.
Even though you may be getting cable service, the signal may be weak, which means the quality
of your picture may suffer due to other factors. If there are problems with the image on your TV, consult the
Troubleshooting guide on the following pages. You may also want to contact your cable service provider to deter-
mine if the problem is from the cable service.
If you use your TV to play video games or for other uses that have single,
fixed images, such as a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness level too high.
If static images, like network identification patterns, are left on the screen for too long, they can leave a perma-
nent impression on the TV screen. You can reduce the chance of this happening by
limiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and brightness levels.
