Important Safety Precautions

• Cleaning—Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

• Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.

• Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

• When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.

• Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks.

• Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 2,949,120 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.

Precautions when transporting the Display

When transporting the Display, never carry it by holding onto the speakers. It is recommended to carry the Display by two people holding it with two hands—one hand on each side of the Display.

• No picture.

• No sound.

• Picture is not clear.

• No sound. (Even though the System is receiving bilingual and stereo signals, there is no sound and the mode menu does not display.)

Problem Possible Solution

• Make sure the Display and the AVC System are connected correctly. (See page

6.)

• Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 14.)

If the indicator on the Display lights up red, press B (STANDBY/ON) button on the Display or press POWER on the remote control unit.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 13.)

• Has the main power been turned on? (See page 14.)

• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the power of the Display and the AVC System, or unplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 9.)

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)

• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?

• Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor?

• Is the image position correct? (See pages 44 and 45.)

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 49 to 52.)

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 29 to 33 and 55.)

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

• Check the colour system setting. (See pages 25 and 48.)

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 47.)

• The unit’s internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.

• Check the power control setting. (See pages 35 to 37.)

• Check the sleep timer setting. (See page 54.)

• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 38 to 42.)

• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 47.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 47.)

• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 60.)

• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 29 to 33.)

• Is the volume too low? (See page 16.)

• Is “Variable” selected in “Audio Out”? (See page 54.)

• During Auto search, the sound system should automatically be detected. However, auto-detect may not find some signals, in which case choose Manual. (See page 25.)

• The Auto search (or Auto Installation) automatically searches for compatible sound systems, but may not detect them depending on electric field conditions. In that case, adjust to optimum sound system position by following directions on page 25.

Troubleshooting

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction. Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C (–4°F to +140°F).
