Care and cleaning information

Always turn off the TV before cleaning.

Do NOT use cream, liquid, aerosol or spray cleaners. Use only a slightly damp well wrung- out (drip-free) and lint-free, clean soft cloth and lightly wipe the TV.

If necessary, use a pH-neutral liquid dish-washing detergent diluted with water on a separate clean lint-free cloth to remove oil or grease marks. Wipe over again with a clean dry lint-free cloth to remove any smear marks.

Under close examination and in certain circumstances, you may notice that a few non-active pixels appear on the screen as a fixed point of colour. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product as it is usually not visible at normal viewing distances.

If the TV is not going to be used for an extended period of time (like when you’re going away for holidays), it should be switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet. You should also consider removing the batteries from the remote control (as they may leak).

To help prevent possible 'LCD Image Persistence', you should ensure that static images are never displayed for extended periods of time and that you turn off the screen for several hours every day or so.

What’s next?

You have reached the end of Section 1: Quick Start Guide. By now, you should have a reasonable understanding of your new LCD TV and its controls, know how to install, connect, turn on, tune, change the channels, and how to care for and maintain it.

Should you wish to maximise your viewing experience pleasure, Section 2 of this booklet contains the User’s Manual which describes how to customise the TV settings to suit your preferences and viewing environment. It details the features and functions of the TV and the remote control, describes how to connect other devices, and provides product specifications and troubleshooting information for your further assistance.

This LCD TV is a high resolution display device. To achieve the best possible display results, it is recommended that you:

connect it to a digital video source

select an appropriate aspect ratio

When viewing traditional (analog) TV, it is recommended that you set the aspect ratio to 4:3, Letterbox, or Wide. See "Adjusting aspect ratio" on page 19.
