Sony kdl-s23a11e User Guide

 GB

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision 

technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, 
black dots may appear 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.

• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun. Doing 

so may damage the screen surface.

• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on 

top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD 
panel may be damaged.

• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in 

the picture or the picture may become dark.
This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena 
disappear as the temperature rises.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed 

continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in 

use. This is not a malfunction.

• The LCD contains a small amount of liquid crystal and 

mercury. The fluorescent tube used in this TV set also 
contains mercury. Follow your local ordinances and 
regulations for disposal.

This TV set uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light 
source. If the screen image becomes dark, flickers, or does 
not appear, the fluorescent lamp has worn out and the LCD 
screen should be replaced. For replacement, consult qualified 
service personnel.

• Do not install the TV set in places subject to extreme 

temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a 
radiator, or heating vent. If the TV set is exposed to 
extreme temperature, the TV set may overheat and cause 
deformation of the casing or cause the TV set to 
malfunction.

• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the 

TV set is switched off. To disconnect the TV set 
completely, pull the plug from the mains.

• 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.

• 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.

The screen surface is finished with a special coating to 
prevent strong light reflections.
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. You can wash and repeatedly use the soft cloth.

• 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.
