ABOUT LCD PANEL

Common Phenomena of LCD Panel

The following are the common phenomena when operating LCD Panel due to its structural reason. Please note that they are not malfunctions.

Defective Spots on Panel

The LCD panel is manufactured with high-precision technology. However, there might be some spots that are not emitted, brighter than the others, or in different colours, etc.

Surface on Panel

The LCD panel displays images by blinking the fluorescent lamps internally. This could raise the temperature of the display surface.

In addition, do not impact strongly on the surface of the panel because LCD panel is made with fine processing glass.

Residual image

When a still image or menu is displayed on the screen for a short time (about a minute) and then switches to another image, it may leave an “after-image” on the screen.

The residual image will disappear on its own.

The Usage under the Low Temperature Environment

Because of the structural characteristics of the LCD panel, the response speed of the LCD panel becomes slower when the ambient temperature around the monitor becomes too low. In some cases, it may cause the residual image.

The residual image will disappear on its own as the temperature goes up and back to normal.

2.Connect the Aerial Lead to the Aerial Input socket of an external device such as a VCR.

3.Connect the RF cable from the equipment ‘Out’ to the other equipment ‘In.’

4.Then, connect from the equipment ‘Out’ to “ANT” on the LCD screen Socket on marked.

NOTE

If analogue and digital broadcast signals are provided from the separated cables (antenna), please use a mixer and RF cable to connect antenna terminal in order to receive both signals.

Precautions when connecting the aerial

Please use a coaxial cable which is free from interference to connect the aerial. Avoid using a parallel flat feeder wire as interference may occur, causing reception to be unstable and stripe noise to appear on the screen.

Avoid using indoor aerial as this may be affected by interference. Please use CATV net or outdoor aerial.

If noise appears in the picture of VHF-Low band channel, please use a double-shielded cable (not provided) for RF LEADS to reduce the noise.

Information

HDMI(High Definition Multimedia Interface) is next-generation multimedia I/O interface. Only one cable is used to transmit all video/audio/control signals, which creates easy connection.

Moreover, those digital signals can produce high quality data without any degradation. You are provided with two HDMI terminals, one of the most remarkable features.

If your external device has a HDMI terminal, HDMI connection is recommended for higher quality picture and sound.

NOTE

When both HDMI1 and HDMI2 terminals are connected to devices via HDMI-DVI conversion cable, HDMI2 has a priority over the audio terminal.

Common Interface Slot allows you to receive Pay TV service with detachable modules.

Before inserting the module, make sure to turn off the main power, and take off the cover of slot as shown and then insert the module all the way into the slot. Refer to 50 for the details.

CAUTION

Use only the Power Cord provided.

Do not use a power supply voltage other than that indicated(AC220-240V, 50Hz). It may cause fire or electric shock.

For the LCD television, a three-core power cord with a ground terminal is used for efficiency protection. Always be sure to connect the Power Cord to a grounded outlet and make sure that the cord is properly grounded. If you use a power source converter plug, use an outlet with a ground terminal and screw down the ground line.

Ensure that both ends of power cord are easily accessible.

If you have to change the power cord, please use the certified power cord that meets your region’s safety standard.

Information

How to secure the cables.

After connecting all of the cables to the terminals, secure them with the band.

When you secure the cables, please be careful not to tighten too much.
