Precautions
Viewing the TVsView the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light 
or during long period of time, strains your eyes.
sWhen using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid 
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.
LCD ScreensAlthough the LCD screen is made with high-precision 
technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, 
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 screen and is not a malfunction.
sDo not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of 
this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD screen may 
be damaged.
sIf this TV set 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 disappear as the temperature rises.
sGhosting may occur when still pictures are displayed 
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
sThe screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in use. 
This is not a malfunction.
sThe LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal. 
Some fluorescent tubes used in this TV set also contain 
mercury. Follow your local ordinances and regulations for 
disposal.
Handling and cleaning the screen surface/
cabinet of the TV set
Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set from 
mains socket before cleaning.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, 
observe the following precautions.
sTo remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently 
with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth 
slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.
sNever use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, 
scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, 
thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining 
prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in 
damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.
sWhen adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so as to 
prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from its table 
stand.
Optional EquipmentKeep optional components or any equipment emitting 
electromagnetic radiation away from the TV set. Otherwise picture 
distortion and/or noisy sound may occur.
