sticking. Avoid displaying a xed image on the TV screen for a long
period of time.

Generated Sound

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning
o the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to tempera­ture and humidity. This noise is common for products where thermal
deformation is required. Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing:
A low level noise is generated from a high-speed switching circuit,
which supplies a large amount of current to operate a product. It varies
depending on the product.
This generated sound does not aect the performance and reliability
of the product.

Do not use high voltage electrical goods near the TV (e.g. electric
mosquito-swatter). This may result in product malfunction.
