Installation and Important Information
English
Where to install
* Button and stand style
is dependent on model.
Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong
lights. Soft, indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable
viewing. Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight
falling on the screen.
Place the TV on a stable, level surface that can support the
weight of the TV. In order to maintain stability and prevent
it falling over, it is recommended to secure the TV to a wall
using a sturdy tie on the back of the stand.
The LCD display panels are manufactured using an extremely
high level of precision technology; however, sometimes some
parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have
luminous spots. This is not a sign of a malfunction.
Make sure the television is located in a position where it
cannot be pushed or hit by objects, as pressure will break
or damage the screen. Also, please ensure that small items are
not inserted into slots or openings in the case.
Avoid using chemicals (such as air refreshers, cleaning
agents, etc.) on or near the TV pedestal. Studies
indicate that plastics may weaken and crack over time
from the combination effects of chemical agents and mechanical
stress (such as weight of TV). Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury and/or permanent damage to TV
and TV pedestal.
Cleaning the screen and cabinet…
Turn off the power, and clean the screen and cabinet with a soft,
dry cloth. We recommend that you do not use any proprietary
polishes or solvents on the screen or cabinet as this may
cause damage.
Please take note
The digital reception function of this television is only effective in the countries listed in the “Country” section
during the rst time installation menu. Depending on country/area, some of this television’s functions may not
be available. Reception of future additional or modied services cannot be guaranteed with this television.
If stationary images generated by 4:3 broadcasts, text services, channel identication logos, computer displays,
video games, on screen menus, etc. are left on the television screen for any length of time, they could become
conspicuous. It is always advisable to reduce both the brightness and contrast settings.
Very long, continuous use of the 4:3 picture on a 16:9 screen may result in some retention of the image at
the 4:3 outlines. This is not a defect of the LCD TV and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Regular use of other size modes will prevent permanent retention.
