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.

• Do not place vases or any other
water-fi lled containers on this
product. The water may spill onto
the product causing fi re or electric
shock.

• 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 fl oor
surface can cause the product to fall
from the cart.

• To prevent fi re, never place any type
of candle or naked fl ames on the
top or near the TV set.

• To prevent fi re or shock hazard, do
not place the AC power cord under
the TV set or other heavy items.

• Do not place heavy objects on this
product or stand on it. Doing so
could cause injury if the product
overturns. Take special care near
children and pets.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product
with 2,073,600 pixels, giving you fi ne picture details.
Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally
a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen
as a fi xed point of blue, green or red.
This is within product specifi cations and does not
constitute a fault.

Precautions when
transporting the TV

Be sure to always carry the TV
by two people holding it with two
hands — one hand on each side
of the TV.

• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could
cause an afterimage to remain.

• Ventilation — The vents and other
openings in the cabinet are designed
for ventilation. Do not cover or block
these vents and openings since
insuffi cient 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 struck
forcefully or with a sharp object. If
the LCD panel is broken, be careful
not to be injured by broken glass.

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

4

• Install the product on the place where the AC cord can
be unplugged easily from the AC outlet, or from the AC
INPUT terminal on the rear of the product.

If a television is not positioned in a suffi ciently stable
location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by
taking simple precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the
manufacturer of the television.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the
television.

• Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of
the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example,
cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the television to a suitable support.

• Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials
placed between the television and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on
furniture to reach the television or its controls.

Troubleshooting

The problems described below are not always caused by malfunctions. Check the TV again before having the TV
serviced.

Problem

• No power.

• Unit cannot be operated.

• Remote control unit does not
operate.

• Picture is cut off.

• Strange colour, light colour, or
dark, or colour misalignment.

• Power is suddenly turned off.

• No picture.

Possible Solution

• Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 16.)
If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press POWER.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 10.)

• Has the power been turned on? (See page 16.)

• External infl uences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper
operation. In this case, operate the unit after fi rst turning the power off the TV 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 15.)

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

• Are you using it under strong or fl uorescent lighting?

• Is a fl uorescent light shining on the remote control sensor?

• Is the image position correct? (See page 36.)

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 31,
32 and 57.)

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 34 to 36.)

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

• Check the colour system setting. (See pages 23 and 50.)

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 59.)

• Check the HDMI Auto View setting. (See page 47.)

• The unit's internal temperature has increased.

Remove any objects blocking the vent or clean.

• Check the power control setting. (See page 30.)

• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 30.)

• Is the connection to external equipment correct? (See pages 13 and 14.)

•

Has the input signal setup been performed correctly after connection? (See page 59.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 50.)

• Is the picture adjustment correct? (See pages 34 to 36.)

• Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 10.)

• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 26.)

• No sound.

• The TV sometimes makes a
cracking sound.

• Is the volume too low? (See page 21.)

• Make sure that headphones are not connected. (See page 8.)

•

This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts
according to changes in temperature. This does not affect the TV's performance.

The error message about reception of broadcast

The example of an error message

displayed on a screen

• Failed to receive broadcast.

• No broadcast now.

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, offi ce), 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: f20°C to e60°C.

Error code

• Check the antenna cable. Check that the antenna is correctly
setup.
