DLNA

This TV is a DLNA Certified™ product.
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard that makes DLNA Certified digital electronics easier
and more convenient to use on a home network. To learn more, visit www.dlna.org.
It allows you to share photos, videos and music stored in a DLNA Certified media server (for example,

your home network, and enjoy them on the TV.

Supported file format (p. 68 - 69)

Media server

Ensure the connected equipment is a DLNA Certified media server.
To use a PC, install the server software on the PC for obtaining a media server.
Store photos, videos or music into the media server, and then you can watch them on the TV.
“TwonkyMedia server 6” and “Windows 7” are the server software that has been tested for the

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.

Caution

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. 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.
