Heat

Do not touch the surface of the LCD TV. It remains hot, even for some time after the LCD TV is turned off.

Precautions

On viewing the LCD TV comfortably

• To view the LCD TV comfortably, the recommended viewing position is from four to seven times of the screen’s vertical length away from the LCD TV.

• View the LCD TV in a moderate light room, as viewing the LCD TV in poor light taxes your eyes. And watching the screen continuously long times taxes your eyes, too.

On installing the LCD TV

• Use the specified wall-mount bracket or stands.

• Leave enough space for ventilation between the exhaust fan in the rear of unit and the wall.

• Do not install the display unit in places subject to extreme temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a radiator, or heating vent. If the display unit is exposed to extreme temperature, the display unit may heat up and it may cause deformations of the casing or malfunctions.

• Do not install the display unit in a place exposed to direct air conditioning. If the display unit is installed in such a location, moisture may condense on the panel inside the display unit. It may cause a malfunction.

• After transporting the display unit directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor color over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the panel inside the display unit. Let the moisture evaporate before using the display unit.

• To obtain a clear picture, prevent the lighting or sunlight from illuminating the screen directly. If possible, install the lighting on the ceiling right above the LCD TV so that reflection of the lighting is minimized.

• The LCD TV is not disconnected from AC power outlet when the switch is in off position. To disconnect the LCD TV completely, pull the plug from AC power outlet.

On adjustment volume

• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble neighbors. 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.

On handling the remote control

• Handle the remote control with care. Do not drop or step on it, or spill liquid of any kind.

• Do not place the remote control in a location near heat source, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, or in a damp room.

On cleaning the cabinet

• Be sure to unplug the AC power cord connected to the LCD TV from the AC power outlet before cleaning.

• Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.

• Note that material deterioration or screen coating degradation may occur if the display unit is exposed to a volatile solvent, such as alcohol, thinner, benzine or insecticide, or if prolonged contact is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.

Page 9

• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over a period of time. The accumulated dust may make the cooling function of the built-in fan less effective. To prevent this, we recommend removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.

On the screen

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, 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 unit. The image may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.

• If the unit 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 improve 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 unit is in use. This is not a malfunction.

Fluorescent lamp

• This unit uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light source. If the screen image becomes dark, flickers, or does not appear, the fluorescent lamp has run down and should be replaced. For replacement, consult qualified service personnel.

• must have the file name extension, “.jpg”.

• are more than 16 horizontal and /or vertical dots per line.

• are less than 4096 horizontal and /or vertical dots per line.
