•When the unit is used in rooms (locations) with low temperature, the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

•Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight

or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.

If your problem is not solved, turn your unit off and then on again once.
