LCD SCREEN
s Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and
has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or bright points of
light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen.
This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
s The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and to
achieve a high level of performance and picture quality, this TV’s
backlight setting is set to maximize the brightness of the TV. However,
uneven brightness may be observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a
dark ambient without an input source or blank screen. This condition
is normal and not a malfunction of the TV. Changing the Picture mode,
Backlight setting, enabling the Light Sensor, or turning on the Power
Management will improve this condition.
s To avoid damaging the LCD panel, do not expose the LCD screen to
direct sunlight.
s Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place objects on top of the
TV. The images may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.
s If the TV is used in a cold place, smear may occur in the picture or the
picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These
phenomena improve as the temperature rises.
s Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It
should disappear after a few moments.
s The LCD screen and enclosure get warm when the TV is in use. This
is not a malfunction.
s Avoid spraying insect repellent with volatile material on the LCD
screen.
s Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or plastic material to the LCD
screen.
Broken screen panel
Do not throw anything at the TV as the impact can
cause the LCD screen glass to crack, break or
scatter.
s If damage occurs to the LCD panel, small traces of liquid crystal
sandwiched between the glass may be found on scattered broken glass.
s Do not touch the broken glass with bare hands. As with any broken
glass pieces, avoid skin contact and exposure to your eyes or mouth.
Avoid direct contact with liquid or damp surfaces of the glass as these
may have an adverse effect on some people. The contacted area should
be rinsed thoroughly with water. If conditions persist, see your doctor.
s If the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch the TV until you have
unplugged the AC power cord. Otherwise electric shock may result.
SERVICING
Do not use the TV if you suspect the TV is
damaged or if the TV is damaged.
s Do not attempt to service the TV yourself
since opening the cabinet may expose you
to dangerous voltage levels or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
s If replacement parts are required, acquire a
written certification from the service
technician which states that adequate
replacement parts with the same or similar
characteristics as the original parts have been
used. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.
Safety check
s Upon completion of any TV servicing or
repair, ask the service technician to perform
routine safety checks as specified by Sony
and to certify that the TV is safe to operate.
Have a qualified service technician dispose
of the TV if it is not safe to operate.
