y

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

(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

(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 built-

up 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,

Dot Defect

The Plasma or LCD 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.

y

Generated Sound

“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 on the product.

This generated sound does not affect the performance and

reliability of the product.

y

Take care not to touch the ventilation openings. When

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.

y

If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small

“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

y

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

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.

y

If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a long period of

time, image burn may occur on the letterboxed area of the

screen.

y

Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a long

period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours

for the Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.
