Safety information
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain
or moisture.
Dangerously high voltages are present inside the TV. Do not
open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
For general safety
• Do not expose the TV to rain or
moisture.
• Do not open the rear cover.
• This set should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the serial/
model plate.
If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied
to your home, consult your dealer or local power
company.
For safe installation
• Never cover the slots and openings
with a cloth or other materials.
• Do not block the ventilation openings.
• Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
swimming pool, etc.
• Do not install the TV in hot, humid or excessively dusty
places.
• Use the TV at temperatures between 5ºC and 35ºC.
• If the TV is transported directly from a cold to a warm
location, or if the room temperature has changed
suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color.
This is because moisture has condensed on the mirror or
lenses inside. If this happens, let the moisture evaporate
before using the TV.
• Do not install the appliance in a
confined space, such as a bookcase
or built-in cabinet.
• Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, table or
shelf. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
an adult and serious damage to the set. Use only a stand
recommended by the manufacturer for the specific model
of TV. An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
• When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance, it
indicates a need for service.
• The TV should be installed near an easily accessible
power outlet.
For safe operations
• Do not operate the TV on anything but 220-240 V AC,
50 Hz.
• Do not operate the TV if any liquid
or solid object falls in it — have it
checked immediately.
• Do not allow anything to rest
on or roll over the power
cord, and do not place the set
where the power cord is
subject to wear or abuse.
• Do not install the TV where
it may be exposed to
mechanical vibrations.
• Never push objects of any kind
into the set through the cabinet
slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.
• Leave enough space between the TV or furniture and an
outlet so that you can plug in/out easily.

GB
• Unplug the AC power cord
during lightning storm.
• Do not keep the TV plugged
in if you are not going to use it
for several days. Even if your
TV is turned off, it is still
connected to AC power when
plugged into an outlet.
• Do not pull the power cord
to disconnect the TV. Pull it
out by the plug.
• Do not plug in too many
appliances to the same power
jack. Do not dam age the power
cord.
• Do not place any objects on
the TV. The apparatus shall
not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and that no objects
filled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.
• To prevent fire, keep
inflammable objects or naked
lights (e.g. candles) away from the TV.
• If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is
continuous or frequent while the TV is operating, unplug
the TV and consult your dealer or service technician. It is
normal for some TV sets to make occasional snapping or
popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off.

when the TV is on.
• Always switch off by pressing “1” on the remote or the
TV first to ensure proper lamp cooling process.
When not in use

set should be disconnected from the mains for
environmental and safety reasons.
• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the
TV set is switched off.
• To disconnect the TV set completely, pull the plug from
the outlet. However, some TV sets may have features
which need the TV set to be left in standby to work
correctly. The instructions in this manual will inform you
if this applies.
Carry the TV in the specified manner
If you carry the TV in a manner other than the specified
manner and without the specified number of persons, it may
drop and a serious injury may be caused. Be sure to follow
the instructions mentioned below.
• Carry the TV with the specified
number of persons (page 5).

screen edges.
Caution
Do not use the TV at altitudes higher than 3,000 m, as doing

Cleaning
Clean the rear cover area of the TV regularly. Dust in rear
cover area may cause a problem with the cooling system of
the TV.

a solution of mild detergent and water. Do not use a spray
cleaning solution directly to the TV. It should only be used
to moisten the cleaning cloth.

About the TV
• Although the TV is made with high-precision technology,
black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue,
or green) may appear constantly on the screen. This is a
structural property of the panel and is not a malfunction.
• When High contrast non-moving images such as station
logos and channel numbers are displayed for a long period
of time, there may be some image retention on the screen.
This is only a temporary condition. Turning off the power
for a while or letting the TV run on another channel will
eliminate the retained image.
• If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the
screen, part of the screen may appear white due to
reflections from behind the screen. This is a structural
property of the TV.
Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
AC power outlet
The TV set with a three-wire grounding type AC power plug
must be connected to an AC power outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
Projection lamp
• Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is
time to replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied)
when:
– the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life.
Please replace the lamp.” appeared on the screen,
– the lamp indicator on the front blinks in red,
– screen images become dark,
– no image appears on the display after prolonged use.
• In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit,
but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of broken glass
pieces inside the lamp unit. (See “Replacing the lamp” on
page 42.)
• When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a
noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inhe rent in this
type of lamp.
• The projection lamp contains mercury and should be
disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities
regarding safe disposal. If the lamp is broken during use,
a small amount of mercury may be released. In this
situation, move away from the product and ventilate the
area. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, or if you
feel unwell, consult a physician promptly.
Cooling fan
This TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear some fan noise
(depending on the placement of the TV), which may be more
noticeable during the night, or when ambient noise is
particularly low.
