Precautions for use

Cautions when installing

Do not set up the TV outdoors.

•• The TV is designed for indoor use.

Install this unit at a location which can support the weight of the unit.

••Dropping or falling of the unit may cause injury.

Environmental temperature to use this unit

••When using the unit where it is below 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level: 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F)

••When using the unit at high altitudes (1 400 m

(4 593 ft) and higher and below 2 800 m (9 186 ft) above sea level): 0 °C to 35 °C (32 °F to 95 °F)

Do not install the unit where it is 2 800 m (9 186 ft) and higher above sea level.

••Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.

We are not responsible for any product damage, etc. caused by failures in the installation environment even during the warranty period.

Transport only in upright position!

••Transporting the unit with its liquid crystal panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.

Do not grab the liquid crystal panel.

••Do not forcibly press the liquid crystal panel, or push it with a pointed object. Applying a strong force to the liquid crystal panel will cause unevenness of the screen display, resulting in malfunction.

Do not install the product to a place where the product is exposed to direct sunlight.

••If the unit is exposed to direct sunlight even indoors, the temperature rise of the liquid crystal panel may cause malfunction.

Required space for ventilation

••When using the pedestal, leave a space of 10 cm (3 15/16”) or more at the top, left and right, and 5 cm

(1 31/32”) or more at the rear, and also keep the space between the bottom of the TV and the table surface.

••If using some other setting-up method (wall-hanging, etc.), follow the manual of it. (If there is no specific indication of installation dimension in the installation manual, leave a space of 10 cm (3 15/16”) or more at the top, bottom, left and right, and 5 cm (1 31/32”) or more at the rear.)

Minimum distance:

			(3 15/16”)
b			b: 5 cm
b			(1 31/32”)
			(1 31/32”)

••Operation of this unit is guaranteed up to an ambient temperature of 40 °C (104 °F). When installing the unit in a case or chassis, be sure to provide adequate ventilation with a cooling fan or ventilation hole so that the surrounding temperature (inside the case or chassis) including the temperature of the front surface of the liquid crystal panel can be kept at 40 °C

(104 °F) or less.

10 English

When using

Red, blue or green dots on the screen are a liquid crystal panel-specific phenomenon. This is not a malfunction.

•• Although the liquid crystal display is manufactured with high-precision technology, always-lighting dots or non-lighting dots may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction.

Inch model		Dot omission ratio*
86,	75	0.00007% or less
65,	55, 50, 43	0.00005% or less

* Calculated in sub-pixel units according to the ISO09241-307 standard.

Depending on the temperature or humidity conditions, uneven brightness may be observed. This is not a malfunction.

••This unevenness will disappear while applying current continuously. If not, consult the distributor.

If the TV is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, unplug the power supply plug from the wall outlet.

Picture noise may occur if you connect / disconnect the cables connected to the input terminals you

are currently not watching, or if you turn the power of the video equipment on / off, but it is not a malfunction.

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.

Request Regarding Security

When using this unit, take safety measures against the following incidents.

••Personal information being leaked via this unit

••Unauthorized operation of this unit by a malicious third party

••Interfering or stopping of this unit by a malicious third party

Take sufficient security measures.

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.
