VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
◊ Adjust the volume to avoid disturbing your
neighbors. Sound carries easily at night. Therefore,
we suggest you close the windows or use
headphones.
◊ When using headphones, adjust the volume to
appropriate levels, or hearing damage may result.
LCD SCREEN
◊ Although the LCD screen is made with high-
precision technology and has effective pixels of
99.99% or more, black dots or bright points or 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.
◊ The LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology. To achieve a high level of performance
and picture quality, this TV’s backlight setting is
set to maximize the brightness of the TV. However,
uneven brightness may be observed when the
LCD TV is viewed in a dark environment without
an input source or a blank screen. This is a normal
condition, not a malfunction of the TV. To improve
this condition, change the Picture mode, Backlight
setting, enable the Light Sensor, or turn on the
Power management.
◊ Avoid exposing the LCD screen surface to direct
sunlight. It is likely to damage the LCD panel.
◊ Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place
objects on top of the TV. The image may be uneven
or the LCD panel may be damaged.
◊ If the TV 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.
◊ When still pictures are displayed continuously,
ghosting may occur. It should disappear after a short
period of time.
◊ The screen and cabinet get warm when the TV is in
use. This is a normal condition.
◊ Spraying insect repellent with volatile material on
the screen will cause damage.
◊ Do not make prolonged contact with rubber or
plastic material.
Broken pieces
Do not throw anything at the TV.
Doing so may break the screen glass and
cause serious injury.
If the surface of the TV cracks, unplug the
AC power cord before touching the TV.
Otherwise electric shock may result.
Handling of broken glass and liquid
crystal leakage
If the LCD panel gets damaged, crystalline liquid
leakage may occur, or scattered broken glass may
result. Do not touch broken glass or crystalline liquid
which is toxic, with bare hands as cuts, poisoning or
skin irritation may occur. Also do not glass fragments
or leaked crystalline liquid get into your eyes or
mouth. Should either contacted your eyes or mouth,
rinse the contacted area thoroughly with water and
consult your doctor.
SERVICING
Do not attempt to repair the TV
yourself, since opening the cabinet
may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Ask qualied service
personnel to do the servicing for your TV.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician certies in writing that he/she has
