Sony SCPH-131 Flat Panel Television User Manual


 
12
AC adaptor
Use the supplied SCPH-121 AC adaptor only. Note that use of any other power
supply device (including the SCPH-113 AC adaptor supplied with the PS one
console) may result in fire, electrical shock or damage to the unit.
Do not connect the AC adaptor to a transformer as this may result in
overheating or malfunction.
When you do not intend to use the LCD screen for an extended period of time,
disconnect the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet.
When disconnecting the power cord from an electrical outlet, pull it out by
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Even if the LCD screen is turned off, do not disconnect the AC adaptor from the
LCD screen while the other end of the cord is connected to an electrical outlet.
Moisture condensation
If the LCD screen (for PS one
) is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one,
moisture may condense inside the unit. Should this occur, the LCD screen may not
operate properly. In this case, do not turn on the console until the moisture evaporates
(this could take several hours). If the LCD screen still does not operate properly after
this period of time, contact our technical support line at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.
Static image caution
Static, non-moving images, such as menus, configuration displays or paused images,
may leave a faint image permanently on the TV screen if left on for extended periods
of time. Projection TVs are more susceptible to this than other types of displays. Do
not operate the PS one
console in such a manner that this could occur.
Speaker magnets
The stereo speakers on the LCD screen contain magnets. Do not place metal objects
near the speakers. Also, keep magnetic tapes and discs away from the speakers.
Failure to do so may result in the loss of stored data.
Bright and dark spots on the screen
Bright spots of red, blue or green or dark spots may appear in certain locations on
the screen. The appearance of such spots is a normal occurrence associated with
LCD screens and is not a sign of malfunction. LCD panels are made using highly
precise technology and more than 99.98% of the pixels work properly. However, a
very small number of dark pixels or continuously lit pixels exist on each screen.
Also, a distorted image may remain on the screen for several seconds after the LCD
screen has been turned off.
Fluorescent tubes (backlighting)
This product uses specially designed fluorescent tubes for screen illumination.
These fluorescent tubes may wear out over time. If the screen loses brightness,
starts flickering or fails to light up, contact our technical support line at
1-800-345-7669 for assistance.
