Important notes about your DLPTM projection TV

1)The light source for this TV is a projection lamp unit with a limited service life. When the lamp wears out, the picture may become dark or black, or the lamp may fail, at which time you must replace the lamp unit. See “Lamp unit replacement” on pages 56-60.

2)Each time you turn on the TV, it may take up to several seconds to go from no picture to full picture brightness.

3)The display on this TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology; however, an occasional pixel (dot of light) may show constantly on the screen.

This is a structural property of micro-display projection TV and is not a sign of malfunction. Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance (see item 29 on page 4).

4)Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible, although unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may see a “rainbow effect” on the screen, which can, in rare instances, result in eye fatigue. This is a rare occurrence and is not a sign of TV malfunction.

5)Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and as directly in front of it as possible. The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position and length of viewing time. If you sit too closely to the TV for too long, you may suffer from eye fatigue. See item 29 on page 4.

6)This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate

the internal temperature. You may be able to hear the fans for several minutes after the TV is turned

off. This is a function of the Quick Restart standby mode and is not a TV malfunction. You can set the Quick Restart feature to stop the fans as soon as the TV is turned off. See “Selecting the Quick Restart” on page 25.

7)The green and red LED lights on the control touchpad (on the lower right corner of the TV screen) indicate your TV’s current status. If either light flashes, see “LED indications” on page 60 for details.

8)Review all safety and operating information in this owner’s manual before you use your TV.

Launched with a 46-inch screen size, the 46HM84 became a popular choice among consumers seeking quality and performance.

One of the primary features of the 46HM84 is its 1080p resolution, which translates to a pixel count of 1920 x 1080.
