Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.

You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.

The TV’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water.

Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV.

While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also, avoid placing drinks, vases, or potted plants with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV.

Burn-in and image sticking information: Because your LCOS television doesn’t have a picture tube (also called a cathode ray tube), your TV won’t be subject to images being burned onto the screen. (“Burn-in” occurs when non-moving images are on a TV screen for a long period of time.) However, your LCOS TV might experience “image sticking” from time to time where part of a previous image remains on the screen. This image sticking is temporary and won’t damage your TV.

Replacing the Lamp Unit

Your TV’s source of light comes from a lamp – similar to lamps used in film projectors. Although this lamp is long-lasting, it will need to be replaced eventually.

When to replace the lamp

You probably need a new lamp if there’s no picture, but you still can hear the audio and the power light on the front of the TV does the following: blinks, pauses for about a minute, blinks again, pauses again, and then flashes for approximately 1 minute.
