IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Dot Defect 
The Plasma or LCD panel is a high technology 
product with resolution of two million to six 
million pixels. In a very few cases, you could see 
fine dots on the screen while you’re viewing the 
TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not 
affect the performance and reliability of the TV.

Generated Sound 
Cracking noise A cracking noise that occurs 
when watching or turning off the TV is generated 
by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature 
and humidity. This noise is common for products 
where thermal deformation is required.  
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing A 
low level noise is generated from a high-
speed switching circuit, which supplies a large 
amount of current to operate a product. It varies 
depending upon the product. 
This generated sound does not affect the 
performance and reliability of the product.

Take care not to touch the ventilation openings. 
When watching the TV for a long period, the 
ventilation openings may become hot. This does 
not affect the performance of the product or 
cause defects in the product.

y

Do not install this product on a wall if it could be 
exposed to oil or oil mist. This may damage the 
product and cause it to fall.

If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a 
small flicker when it is turned on. This is normal, 
there is nothing wrong with TV. Some minute dot 
defects may be visible on the screen, appearing 
as tiny red, green, or blue spots. However, they 
have no adverse effect on the TV’s performance. 
Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your 
finger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing 
so may produce some temporary distortion 
effects on the screen.

Preventing Image burn or Burn-in on
 your TV screen

If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for 
a long period of time, it will be imprinted and

If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a 
long period of time, image burn may occur on the 
letterboxed area of the screen.

Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen 
for a long period of time (2 or more hours for 
LCD, 1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to 
prevent image burn.
