Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

Always try to display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.

Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout process.

Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.

x5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.

xWhen the receiver (home theatre) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s optical jack. When the TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theatre receiver.

If you want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theatre.

AUDIO OUT: Connects to the audio input jacks on your amplifier / DVD home theatre.

xWhen connecting, use the appropriate connector.
