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.
About the AC power cord
The shape of AC plug varies, depending on the regions.
AC power outlet
The TV set with a three-wire grounding type AC power plug
must be connected to an AC power outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
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 39.)
• 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.
