CABINET CLEANING
• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of
the TV with a soft cloth immersed in lukewarm
water and wrung dry.
• Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insec-
ticide liquid near the TV. Such chemicals may
cause damage and discoloration to the exposed
surfaces.
LCD CLEANING
Wipe the LCD of the TV with a soft cloth. Before
cleaning the LCD, disconnect the power cord.
SERVICING
Should your unit become inoperative, do not try to
correct the problem yourself. There are no user ser-
viceable parts inside. Turn off the TV, unplug the
power cord and call our toll free customer support
line found on the cover of this manual to locate an
authorized service center.
IR SIGNAL CHECK
If the remote control isn’t working properly, you can
use an AM radio or digital camera (including a cellu-
lar phone with built-in camera) to see if it is sending
out an infrared signal.
With an AM radio:
Tune the AM radio station to a
non-broadcasting frequency.
Point the remote control towards
it, push any button and listen. If
the sound from the radio flutters,
it is receiving the remote control’s
infrared signal.
With a digital camera
(including built-in cell phone cameras):
Point a digital camera towards the
remote control. Push any button on the
remote control and look through the digi-
tal camera. If the infrared light appears
through the camera, the remote control
is working.
