may be damaged, which may
create a fire hazard or cause
electric shock.

When moving or unpacking the

y

product, work in pairs because the
product is heavy. Otherwise, this
may result in injury.

Contact the service centre once

y

a year to clean the internal parts
of the product. Accumulated dust
can cause mechanical failure.

Protect the power cord from

y

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.

Refer all servicing to qualified

y

service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such
as power supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been
dropped.

If the product feels cold to the

y

touch, there may be a small
“flicker” when it is turned on. This
is normal, there is nothing wrong
with product.

The panel is a high technology

y

display product with resolution of
two million to six million pixels.
You may see tiny black dots and/
or brightly coloured dots (red, blue
or green) at a size of 1 ppm on
the panel. This does not indicate
a malfunction and does not affect
the performance and reliability of
the product. This phenomenon
also occurs in third-party products
and is not subject to exchange or
refund.

You may find different brightness

y

and colour of the panel depending
on your viewing position(left/right/
top/down). This phenomenon
occurs due to the characteristic of
the panel. It is not related with the
product performance, and it is not
malfunction.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Displaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting channel

y

logo, on-screen menu, scene from a video game) for
a prolonged time may cause damage to the screen,
resulting in retention of the image, which is known
as image sticking. The warranty does not cover the
product for image sticking.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on your television’s
screen for a prolonged period (2 or more hours
for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma). Also, if you
watch the TV at a ratio of 4:3 for a long time, image
sticking may occur on the borders of the panel. This
phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and
is not subject to exchange or refund.

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 tempera-ture
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.

because their vision is in development.
For example: trying to touch the screen or
trying to jump into it. Special monitoring
and extra attention is required for children
watching 3D content.

- Children have greater binocular disparity of
3D presentations than adults because the
distance between the eyes is shorter than
one of adults. Therefore they will perceive
more stereoscopic depth compared to
adults for the same 3D image.
