5. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

English

For a longer service life, be sure to read the following cautions.

Be sure to store the LCD panel inside the source unit when parking the car outdoors for long periods of time.

The LCD panel will operate properly in a temperature range of 0 to 60°C.

Don’t allow any liquids on the set from drinks, umbrellas etc. Doing so may damage the internal circuitry.

Do not disassemble or modify the set in any way. Doing so may result in damage.

Do not draw the LCD panel out and use it as a tray. Also, subjecting the LCD panel to shocks may result in breakage, deformation or other damage.

Do not let cigarettes burn the display. Doing so may damage or deform the cabinet.

Do not insert objects into the video input jack.

If a problem should occur, have the set inspected at your store of purchase.

Do not insert objects or poke in the space between the LCD panel and the source unit when the panel is tilted.

Do not place anything on the display when the LCD panel is tilted.

Do not hold on the screen when adjusting the angle of the LCD panel. Doing so may damage it.

The remote controller may not work if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight.

The fluorescent light used behind the screen eventually wears out. It should be replaced if the picture becomes extremely dark or flickers.

The LCD panel may stop temporarily when it is opened or closed when the engine is stopped or when it is cold. This is not a malfunction. If this happens, repeat the operation.

Concerning the LCD screen

Do not leave droplets of water on the LCD panel since they can cause discoloration and stains. In addition, entry of moisture inside the unit can cause malfunctioning. Any drops of water on the panel should be removed immediately using absorbent cotton or a soft cloth.

In extremely cold weather, the movement of the picture may be slow and the screen may be dark, but this is not a malfunction. The set will work normally once the temperature increases.

Small black and shiny dots inside the LCD panel are normal for LCD products.

Cleaning

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe off the dirt.

For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe off the dirt gently, then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, etc., as these substances may damage the cabinet or cause the paint to peel. Also, leaving rubber of plastic products in contact with the cabinet for long periods of time may cause stains.

Cleaning the LCD panel

The LCD panel tends to collect dust, so wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth.

The surface is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard objects.

Concerning the wide screen

A wide-screen TV comes with a function for selecting various screen modes. If you select a screen mode that differs from the picture ratio of the TV program or other software media, you will not be able to view the original pictures as was originally intended. Bear this point in mind when selecting the screen mode.
