Problems Possible Solutions

The TV is hot.

The TV smells of plastic.

The plastic cabinet makes a
"clicking" type of sound.

• Watching TV for an extended period of time causes the panel to generate
heat. The heat from the panel is dissipated through internal vents running
along the top of the TV.

• After extended use, you may feel heat when touching it. This heat is not a
defect and does not affect the TV's functionality.

• This smell is normal and will dissipate over time.

• The "clicking" sound can be caused when the temperature of the TV
changes. This change causes the TV cabinet to expand or contract, which
makes the sound. This is normal and the TV is OK.

is a delay for a few seconds
before the picture appears.
