Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
• TV Games / Home Computers
Extended use of TV games or home computers
with any television set can cause a ‘shadow’ on
the screen. This type of LCD panel phenomenon,
can be limited by observing the following points:
• Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a
minimum viewing level.
• Do not operate the television set for a continuous
period of time while using TV games or home
computers.
• Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an
extended period, as this can cause a permanent
after-image to remain on the LCD TV screen.
• Examples of still pictures include logos, video
games, computer images, teletext and images
displayed in 4:3 mode.
• This type of LCD panel damage, is not an
operating defect, and as such is not covered by

The cabinet and LCD panel can be cleaned with
a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent and
water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or
petroleum.
• When ambient temperature is cool, the picture
may take a short time to reach normal brightness,
but this is not a malfunction. (After brief moment,
the picture will have normal brightness.)

failure of electrical components, we recommend
that a gap of at least 10 cm is left all around this
television receiver even when it is placed inside
a cabinet or between shelves.
• Avoid exposing the TV set to direct sunlight and
other sources of heat. To prevent fi re, never place
any type of candle or naked fl ame on top or near
