FIRST TIME USE
Location
Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the reflection.
Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set. In order to prevent an internal temperature increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches) from the sides/back of the Television, and 30 cm (12 inches) from the top of the television to the ceiling. To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.
