Maintenance and Cleaning

1)Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

2)Cabinet and remote control unit

Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner, which can damage or destroy the coating on the cabinet or the remote control unit.

Remove dirt by lightly wiping with a soft cloth.

If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth with neutral detergent, diluted with water. In humid conditions, wipe off condensation with a dry cloth.

3)Screen (front protection panel)

The screen surface (front protection panel) is coated with a delicate anti-glare material. To clean the screen dust off and wipe lightly with a soft cloth. Do not rub with tissue paper or hard abrasive materials.

Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner, which can discolor the screen or render it opaque. For cleaning, we recommend the following cloth and fluid.

Cleaning cloth: Minimax

GED-009

 

 

Cleaning liquid: B4

GEM1004

 

 

For light soiling, brush off dust and lightly wipe with Minimax. In case of heavy soiling, brush off dust, then wipe with Minimax with its corner lightly moistened with B4. Be sure to wipe with dry Minimax after B4 dries out as there may be unevenness remaining otherwise.

4)Vents

Every month, remove dirt from the vent openings that house fans on the sides and rear of the main unit, using a vacuum cleaner set to its lowest suction setting. Be sure to switch off the power on the main unit before cleaning the vents.

Blocked vents can lead to dangerously high internal temperatures, resulting in malfunctions or fire.

5)Readjustment of White Balance

The unit uses phosphor elements, as do CRTs. These phosphors degrade over time, reducing brightness. Since green and blue phosphors degrade faster than red, we recommend readjusting the white balance every 1000 hours.
