Precautions
Viewing the TV
• To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing
position is from four to seven times the screen’s vertical
length away from the TV set.
• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct
illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling.
• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor
light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.
Volume adjustment
• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours.
Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing
the windows or using headphones is suggested.
• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.
LCD Screen
• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective,
black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue,
or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This
is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a
malfunction.
• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on
top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD
screen may be damaged.
• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in
the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not
indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the
temperature rises.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in
use. This is not a malfunction.
• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal
and mercury. The fluorescent tube used in this TV set also
contains mercury. Follow your local ordinances and
regulations for disposal.
Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of
the TV set
Be sure to unplug the AC power cord connected to the TV set
from AC power outlet before cleaning.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
observe the following precautions.
• Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or
throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.
• Do not touch the display panel after operating the TV set
continuously for a long period as the display panel
becomes hot.
• We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little
as possible.
• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent
solution.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,
scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,
benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or
maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl
materials may result in damage to the screen surface and
cabinet material.
• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To
ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the
dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
• If the angle of the TV set is to be adjusted, steady the base
of the stand with your hand to prevent the TV set from
becoming separated from the stand. Be careful not to get
your fingers caught between the TV set and the stand.
• Do not attach anything (e.g., adhesive tape, cellophane
tape, glue) on the painted cabinet or screen surface of the
TV.
Optional Equipments
• Do not install optional components too close to the TV set.
Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the
TV set. If a VCR is installed in front of the TV set or
beside the TV set, the picture may become distorted.
• Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the TV
set is positioned in close proximity to any equipment
emitting electromagnetic radiation.
