C

Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself have the risk



of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be
absolutely sure to ask your dealer or a licensed contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any
damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.
Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights)



which typically give off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or



pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.
To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.

HDMI connection

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface
complying with a non-compression standard.
HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV
and the equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment (∗1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a DVD player, a set
top box or a game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully
wired) cable. About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 58, 59).

Applicable HDMI features

Input audio signal : 2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz)

Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

For regular care:

Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt
or fingerprints.

For stubborn dirt:

Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water).
Then wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface.



Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent. A liquid inside the TV could lead to



product failure.
Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances.



This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to



tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long



time. This may degrade surface quality.

Mains plug

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or
electrical shock.
