LCD panel
Transportation cautions
• The LCD panel is manufactured using extremely
high-precision technology.
However, black dots may appear on the panel, or
some red, blue or green dots may light up extremely
brightly at times. Furthermore, sometimes striped
color irregularities or brightness irregularities may
also appear. They are caused by the characteristics of
the LCD panel, and are not a sign of malfunction.
• Screen burn may remain in the projected image when
a high-contrast still image is projected for more than
15 minutes.
If screen burn has occured, you should project a
bright screen (if a computer is used: white screen,
video: as bright an animation as possible) until the
screen burn disappears. It takes approx. 30 to 60
minutes, depending on the extent of the screen burn.
If the screen burn does not disappear, contact your
dealer for advice. sp. 86
