Precautions

Viewing the TV

  • To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing position is from four to seven times the screen's vertical length away from the TV set.
  • To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.
  • View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light strains your eyes. Watching the screen continuously for long periods of time can also strain your eyes.
  • If the angle of the TV set is to be adjusted, steady the base of the stand with your hand to prevent the TV set from becoming separated from the stand. Be careful not to get your fingers caught between the TV set and the stand.

Volume adjustment

  • Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours. Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested.
  • 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 expose the LCD screen surface to the sun. Doing so may damage the screen surface.
  • 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 tube used in this TV set also contains 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 AC mains socket before cleaning.

To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, observe the following precautions.

  • Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.
  • Do not touch the display panel after operating the TV set continuously for a long period as the display panel becomes hot.
  • We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little as possible.
  • 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.
  • The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.

Optional Equipments

  • Do not install optional components too close to the TV set. Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the TV set. If a VCR is installed in front of the TV set or beside the TV set, the picture may become distorted.
  • Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the TV set is positioned in close proximity to any equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation.

Troubleshooting

Check whether the ⏻ (standby) indicator is flashing in red.

When it is flashing

The self-diagnosis function is activated.
