Precautions
Viewing the TV
• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor
light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.
• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.
LCD Screen
• Although 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.
• Do 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.
• If 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.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in
use. This is not a malfunction.
• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal
and mercury. The 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 AC power cord connected to the TV set
from AC power outlet before cleaning.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
observe the following precautions.
• To 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.
• Never 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.
• When 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 Equipment

electromagnetic radiation away from the TV set. Otherwise

Troubleshooting
Check whether the 1 (standby) indicator is
flashing in red.
When it is flashing
The self-diagnosis function is activated.

• Check if the antenna is broken or bent.
• Check if the antenna has reached the end of its serviceable
life (three to five years in normal use, one to two years at
the seaside).
Distorted picture (dotted lines or stripes)
• Keep the TV away from electrical noise sources such as
cars, motorcycles, hair-dryers or optional equipment.
• When installing optional equipment, leave some space
between the optional equipment and the TV.
• Check the antenna/cable connection.
• Keep the antenna cable away from other connecting
cables.
• Broadcast signals are too strong. Turn off or disconnect
the booster if it is in use.
Picture or sound noise when viewing a TV channel
