Notes on Using Wired LAN

When setting up the TV at a place, where electric
statistic occurs often, take a sufficient antistatic
measure before start using.

When the TV is used at a location, where static

•

electricity occurs often, such as on a carpet, a wired
LAN communication is disconnected more often.
In that case, remove static electricity and the noise
source that may cause problems with an antistatic
mat, and re-connect the wired LAN.

In rare cases, the LAN connection is disabled due

•

to static electricity or noise. In that case, turn off the
power of the TV and the connected devices once and
then re-turn on the power.

The TV may not work properly due to strong radio
wave from the broadcast station or the radio.

If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs

•

strong radio wave, near the installation location, set
up the TV at a location sufficiently far from the source
of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected
to the LAN terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a
metal pipe, of which is grounded at both ends.

Before connecting

●

Before connecting cables, carefully read the operating
instructions for the external device to be connected.

●

Turn off the power of all devices before connecting
cables.

●

Take note of the following points before connecting
the cables. Failure to do so may result in
malfunctions.

When connecting a cable to the unit or a device

•

connected to the unit itself, touch any nearby
metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from
your body before performing work.

Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect

•

a device to the unit or to the unit body. The
longer the cable, the more susceptible to noise it
becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound
makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible
to noise.

When connecting cables, insert them straight into

•

the connecting terminal of the connecting device
so that the ground is connected first.

●

Acquire any cable necessary to connect the external
device to the system that is neither supplied with the
device nor available as an option.

●

If the outer shape of the plug of a connection cable is
large, it may come in contact with the periphery such
as a back cover or the plug of an adjacent connection
cable. Use a connection cable with the suitable plug
size for the terminal alignment.

●

When connecting the LAN cable with plug cover, be
aware that the cover may come in contact with the
back cover and it may be difficult to disconnect.

●

Some PC models are not compatible with the unit.

●

Use cable compensator when you connect devices to
the unit using long cables. Otherwise the image may
not be displayed properly.

●

Refer to “Preset Signals” (see page 52) for the types
of video signals that can be displayed with the unit.

material may be inappropriate for
children under 13.

R Restricted. Under 17 requires

accompanying parent or adult guardian

(age varies in some jurisdictions).
NC-17 No one 17 and under admitted.
X It is an older rating that is unified with

NC-17 but may be encoded in the data

of older movies.

■ [Canada]

The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the
Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television
programming.

While violence is the most important content element
to be rated, the structure developed takes into
consideration other program content like language,
nudity, sexuality and mature themes.

When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you
can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the
Canadian French ratings.

If a signal with a non-applicable colour system format, or frequency is
input, only the input terminal indication is displayed.

Colour controls set at minimum level (see page 32)

Load noises from outside may be interfering with normal operation. Turn off
the power and turn it on after waiting at least 5 seconds, and then check
the operation.

Check the settings of [No signal power off] may be set to [Enable]. (see
page 41)

Are the batteries inserted with polarity (+,-) aligned? (see page 13)

Are the batteries exhausted?

Point the remote control unit toward the TV’s remote control sensor. (see
page 24)

Check whether the option other than [Unlocked] is selected in [RC control
lock]. (see page 42)

The signal may be incompatible.

Try the automatic screen adjustment when PC is in use.

When using a video software program (such as a cinema size program)
with a screen wider than one in the 16:9 mode, blank areas separate from
the images are formed at the top and bottom of the screen.

Even when the temperature of parts of the front, top and rear panels has
risen, these temperature rises will not pose any problems in terms of
performance or quality.

Check the HDMI cable support 4K, and whether compliant of HDMI
standard.

Check the input signal compatible with this TV. (see page 52 - 53)

To set [EDID select] to [4K/30p] when the connected device does not

LCD TV panel

Symptoms Check

It takes a while for the picture to
appear.

The edges of the images flicker.

There may be always-lighting dots
or non-lighting dots appear on the
screen.

Image retention appears

This TV uses special image processing. Hence a slight time lag may occur between image and audio, depending on
the type of input signal. However, this is not a malfunction.

Check that [SERIAL IN/LAN select] is selected [SERIAL IN]. (see page 37)

Check whether the connection has been made properly.

(see page 20)

Check that [SERIAL IN/LAN select] is selected [LAN]. (see page 37)

Check that the connection has been made properly.

(see page 44)

Check that [LAN setup] is set properly.

(see page 37)

The unit digitally processes the various signals in order to reproduce
esthetically pleasing images. As such, it sometimes takes a few moments
for the picture to appear when the power has been turned on, when the
input has been switched.

Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the liquid crystal
panel, the edges may appear to flicker in the fast-moving parts of the
images: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.

This is a characteristic of liquid crystal panels and is not a problem.

Image retention may occur. If you display a still picture for an extended
period, the image might remain on the screen. However, it will disappear
when a general moving picture is displayed for a while. This is not
considered as malfunction.
