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.
• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor
light strains your eyes. Watching the screen continuously
for long periods of time can also strain your eyes.
• 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.
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.
Overloading
This TV set is designed to operate on
a 220–240 V AC supply only. Take
care not to connect too many
appliances to the same mains socket
as this could result in fire or electric
shock.
Heat
Do not touch the surface of the TV set. It remains hot, even
after the TV set has been turned off for some time.
Corrosion
If you use this TV set near the seashore, salt may corrode
metal parts of the TV set and cause internal damage or fire.
It may also shorten the life of the TV set. Steps should be
taken to reduce the humidity and moderate the temperature
of the area where the TV set is located.
Handling
• When lifting the TV set or moving the
panel of the TV set, hold it firmly from the
bottom.
• For the KDL-46S2000/KDL46S2010, when lifting or moving the
TV, be sure to hold the panel firmly
as illustrated. Place your palm
directly under the panel, from the
rear of the TV.

Precautions
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 panel and is not a
malfunction.
• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun. Doing
so may damage the screen surface.
• 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
panel 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 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.
Fluorescent lamp
This TV set uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light
source. If the screen image becomes dark, flickers, or does
not appear, the fluorescent lamp has worn out and the LCD
screen should be replac ed. For replacement, consult qualified
service personnel.
Installing the TV set
• Do not install the TV set in places subject to extreme
temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a
radiator, or heating vent. If the TV set is exposed to
extreme temperature, the TV set may overheat and cause
deformation of the casing or cause the TV set to
malfunction.
• 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 mains.
• 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.
• 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.
Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of
the TV set
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.
