• For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to
direct illumination or sunlight.
• If the TV is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, or is placed
in a room in which heating has just been turned on,
moisture may condense on the surface or inside the
TV. Should this occur, turn off the TV and leave the
TV off until the moisture evaporates, and then the TV
can be used. If you notice moisture condensation
between the glass panel and the LCD, turn on the TV
and the condensation will evaporate after the TV has
warmed up.
• Fix the TV to the stand according to the arrow marks
that guide the screw holes using the supplied
screws.
• This TV is very heavy, so two or more people should
place the TV onto the stand.
• If using an electric screwdriver, set the tightening
torque at approximately 1.5 N·m (15 kgf·cm).
• Ensure the AC power cord is away from screw holes
during stand installation to avoid damage to the AC
power cord.
