IMPORTANT INFORMATION If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
- Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
- Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
- Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
- Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.
- Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
- Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls. For kundene i Norge Dette utstyret kan kobles til et IT-strømfordelingssystem.4 GB5
Precautions On safety
- A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the rear of the unit.
- Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
- Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.
- To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself. Cleaning Be sure to unplug the power cord before cleaning the display. On cleaning the display Do not allow hard objects to scrape, or pound the display screen surface, or allow objects to hit the screen surface because that can damage the screen surface. The display screen has a special surface treatment. Follow the instructions below to prevent impair performance because of improper handling when cleaning.
- Gently remove any dust from the screen surface with a soft cloth. A cleaning cloth or cloth for wiping glasses is preferred.
- If it is excessively dirty, clean the screen surface with a soft cleaning cloth slightly dampened with water.
- Never use alcohol, benzine, thinner, acid or alkaline cleaning solvent, abrasive cleaners, or chemically-treated cloths because they will damage the screen surface. Cleaning the cabinet
- Gently wipe off stains using a dry, soft cloth. Wipe off grimy stains using a cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent, then wipe the area again using a dry, soft cloth.
- Do not use alcohol, benzine, thinner or insecticide. Doing so may damage the finish of the surface or remove the markings on the unit.
- There is a danger that the screen will be damaged if wiped with a cloth that is dirty.
- Allowing the unit to come into prolonged contact with rubber or plastic products may alter the unit or cause the protective coating to come off. On the LCD panel
- Keeping the LCD panel facing toward the sun for a long time will damage the panel. Take this into account when you install the unit outdoor or by a window.
- Do not forcefully press or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place objects on the screen. Doing so may disrupt the display or damage the LCD screen.
- You may find that the screen is showing horizontal stripes or that it has afterimage. The screen may also look darker when using the unit in a cool environment. These do not indicate a screen malfunction. The screen will return to normal when the ambient temperature is higher.
- If a static image is displayed for a long time, screen burn or a residual image may occur. A residual image will disappear over time. If ghosting occurs, use the screensaver function, or use some kind of video or imaging software to provide constant movement on the screen. If light ghosting (image burn-in) occurs,it may become less conspicuous, but once burn-in occurs, it will never completely disappear.
- The panel surface, cabinet or frame may warm up during use.This does not a problem. Bright spots and dark spots on the LCD screen Although the LCD screen is manufactured by high technology with an effective resolution of at least 99.99%, it may show dark spots (pixel defects) or bright spots (red, blue, green, etc.) that are continuously lit or flashing. These are phenomenon of LCD screens that generated sometimes by pixel defects. These may occur after the device has been used for an extended period of time. These are not screen malfunctions. On installation
- Always verify that the unit is operating properly before use. SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
COMPENSATION OR REIMBURSEMENT ON
