• 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.

of liquid crystal. Mercury is sometimes
contained depending on the kind of
fluorescent tubes. Follow your local
ordinances and regulations for disposal.

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.

openings is recommended to ensure to
proper ventilation.
