Sound reception may have deteriorated.
Switch STEREO mode (AUDIO ADJUST menu) to
Off until reception improves.
The battery is exhausted.
The battery’s polarity is wrong.
The remote control sensor is exposed to strong light of a
fluorescent lamp, etc.
The main unit radiates heat and some of the parts may
become hot. This is not a problem for performance or quality.
Set up at a location with good ventilation.
Do not cover the ventilation holes of the TV with a
tablecloth etc., and do not place on top of other equipment.
This is a characteristic of liquid crystal panels and is not a
problem. The liquid crystal panel is built with very high
precision technology giving you fine picture details.
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the
screen as a fixed point of red, blue, green, or black.
Please note this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
