Important Information
Please read the following information on using and
maintaining the TV, for optimum viewing quality.
Picture Quality
•Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch
the surface with hard objects.
Illumination
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.
Installation
•To prevent over heating of the set, do not block the
ventilation openings.
•Do not install the TV in a hot or humid place, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical
vibration.
•After transporting the TV directly from a cold to a warm
location, or if the room temperature has changed
suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor colour
over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has
condensed on the mirrors or lenses inside the TV. Let the
moisture evaporate before using the TV.
Maintenance
•Save the original shipping carton and packing material to
use if you ever have to ship your TV. For maximum
protection, repack your TV as it was originally packed at
the factory.
•To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean
it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a
cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzene, or
abrasive cleaners since these will damage the cabinet. As
a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.
FUSE
•IMPORTANT
If the plug supplied is not suitable for the socket outlets in
your home, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug
fitted in accordance with the following instructions:

from the mains lead into a socket outlet. This plug cannot
be used and should be destroyed.
•To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to
