Before Calling Service
Caution:
Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for an extended period of
time. Stationary patterns generated by the PIP display^ computer displays,
teletext etc., can become permanently ingrained on the picture tube. This
damage is not protected by your warranty as it is a result of misuse. If you need
to display still images, it is always advisable to reduce the brightness and
contrast settings or alternate with normal TV viewing.
Please make these simple checks before calling service. These tips can save you time
and money since charges for TV installation and adjustments of customer controls are
not covered under your warranty.

Items to Check and Actions to follow
This may be caused by obstruction to the antenna due to
high rise buildings or hills. Using a highly directional
antenna may improve the picture.
• Check that the TV's AC power cord is plugged into mains
socket.
• Unplug the TV, wait for 60 seconds. Then re-insert plug
into the mains socket and switch on the TV again.
• Check antenna connections at the rear of the TV to see if
they are properly connected to the TV input terminal.
• Possible TV station trouble. Try another channel.
• Adjust the contrast and brightness settings
• Increase the VOLUME.
• To check that the TV is not muted, press the iQC button
on the remote control.
• When no TV signal is detected, the TV automatically
mutes the sound.
This is a proper set operation and does not indicate a
malfunction.
• Check that you have selected a suitable sound system in
"Manual Installation" for this channel.
• Adjust the contrast and brightness setting.

safety precaution
Never repair the TV yourself-get a skilled

Clean with the "Enhanced Screen Cleaning Kit"
Your projection TV's screen is made up of thousands
of vertical ridges that help enhance and define the
colour TV images. These ridges can collect airborne
dust which will reduce the clarity and brightness of
your TV picture. To clean your TV screen effectively,
it is recommended that you purchase an "Enhanced
Screen Cleaning Kit" (with anti-static cleaner and
magnetic cleaning cloth) from your dealer.
How to use the cleaning kit:
The magnetic cleaning cloth works well alone to
remove dust from your screen. If the screen is very
dirty from smudges and residue, then the screen
cleaning fluid should be used.
Note : Do not spray the fluid directly onto the screen.
Apply directly to the magnetic cloth and wipe onto
the screen's vertical ridges with a top-to-bottom
downward motion stroke.
