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 or during long period of time, strains your eyes.
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.
About the TV
• Although the TV is made with high-precision technology,
black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue,
or green) may appear constantly on the screen. This is a
structural property of the panel and is not a malfunction.
• When High contrast non-moving images such as station
logos and channel numbers are displayed for a long period
of time, there may be some image retention on the screen.
This is only a temporary condition. Turning off the power
for a while or letting the TV run on another channel will
eliminate the retained image.
• If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the
screen, part of the screen may appear white due to
reflections from behind the screen. This is a structural
property of the TV.
Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
Projection lamp
• Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is
time to replace the lamp with a new one when:
– the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life.
Please replace the lamp.” appeared on the screen,
– the lamp indicator on the front blinks in red,
– screen images become dark,
– no image appears on the display after prolonged use.
• In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit,
but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of broken glass
pieces inside the lamp unit. (See “Replacing the lamp” on
page 48.)
• When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a
noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inherent in this
type of lamp.
• The projection lamp contains mercury and should be
disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities
regarding safe disposal. If the lamp is broken during use,
a small amount of mercury may be released. In this
situation, move away from the product and ventilate the
area. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, or if you
feel unwell, consult a physician promptly.
Cooling fan
This TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear some fan noise
(depending on the placement of the TV), which may be more
noticeable during the night, or when ambient noise is
particularly low.
Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of
the TV set
Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set
from 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.
• 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.
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.
