NOTE
 
► TV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumptio\

switched off using the power switch on the TV if it will not be watched for some time, as this will 
reduce energy consumption.
 
The energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the level\
 of 
brightness of the picture is reduced, and this will reduce the overall r\
unning cost.
