Introducing the TV

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 on to 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 6).

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.
