Viewing the TV

viewing the TV in poor light or during 
long period of time, strains your eyes.
• When using headphones, adjust the 
volume so as to avoid excessive levels, 
as hearing damage may result.
LCD Screen
• 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 screen 
and is not a malfunction.
• 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 screen 
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 screen contains a small amount 
of liquid crystal. Some fluorescent tubes 
used in this TV set also contain mercury.

regulations for disposal.

may result in damage to the screen 
surface and cabinet material.
