(Can differ by country):
It is recommended that appliances be placed upon a
dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which
powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets
or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this
owner’s manual to be certain. Do not connect too many
appliances to the same AC power outlet as this could
result in fire or electric shock. Do not overload wall
outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall
outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged
or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance
indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue
use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an
exact replacement part by an authorized service. Protect
the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such
as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,
and the point where the cord exits the appliance. Do not
move the TV with the power cord plugged in. Do not use
a damaged or loose power cord. Be sure do grasp the
plug when unplugging the power cord. Do not pull on the
power cord to unplug the TV.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

y

(Can differ by country):
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions
below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light
or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with
such power lines or circuits as death or serious injury can
occur. Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built­up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. provides information with respect
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements

y

overheat.

Dot Defect

y

The panel is a high technology product with resolution of
two million to six million pixels. In a very few cases, you
could see fine dots on the screen while you’re viewing the
TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the
performance and reliability of the TV.

Generated Sound

y

Cracking noise: A cracking noise that occurs when
watching or turning off 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 upon the product.
This generated sound does not affect the performance and
reliability of the product.
Take care not to touch the ventilation openings. When

y

watching the TV for a long period, the ventilation openings
may become hot. This does not affect the performance of
the product or cause defects in the product.
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small

y

flicker when it is turned on. This is normal, there is nothing
wrong with TV. Some minute dot defects may be visible
on the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue
spots. However, they have no adverse effect on the TV’s
performance. Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding
your finger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so
may produce some temporary distortion effects on the
screen.

Preventing image burn or burn-in on your TV
screen

If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a long period

y

of time, it will be imprinted and become a permanent
disfigurement on the screen. This is image burn or burn-in
and not covered by the warranty.
If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a long period

y

of time, image burn may occur on the letterboxed area of
the screen.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a

y

long period of time (1 or more hours for OLED) to prevent
image burn.

Preventing Screen Burn

y

Displaying still images, such as a station’s logo, subtitle,
screen menu, video game or computer screen, for a long
time may damage the screen, causing screen burn which
can remain for a long time or never disappear. Do not
display still images for over an hour.
