Enjoying Your TV

 

To enjoy your TV for years to come and maintain its original picture quality,

 

you should perform periodic maintenance.

 

 

Notes on the TV

To enjoy clear picture

 

❑ Prevent sunlight or other light sources from shining directly onto the

 

screen.

 

❑ The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with

 

sharp or abrasive objects (see “On Contamination on the Screen

 

Surface” on page 5).

 

When not using the TV for a long period of time

 

❑ Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet if you anticipate not using

 

the TV for more than a week.

 

When turning off the power

 

❑ The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes. Allow

 

several minutes before unplugging from the outlet or switching the

 

breaker off.

 

On moisture condensation

 

❑ If your TV is moved directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed

 

in a humid room, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the

 

picture may blur or show poor color. This is caused by moisture

 

condensation on the lenses inside. Wait a few hours to let the moisture

 

evaporate before turning on the TV. When the condensation has

 

evaporated, the picture will return to normal.

 

 

Screen

To minimize reflection, the screen surface has a special coating.

 

Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen surface. Special

 

care is required.

 

Cleaning the Screen Surface

 

Dust and dirt on the screen can affect the picture quality. To dust off the

 

screen use a soft cloth. Be sure to follow the cleaning instruction on page 5

 

for stubborn stains and dirt.

 

Temporary Image Retention

 

When high contrast non-moving images such as station logos and channel

 

numbers are displayed for a long period of time, there may be some image

 

retention on the screen. This is only a temporary condition. Turning off the

 

power for a while or letting the TV run on another channel will eliminate the

 

image retention.
