IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
yDot Defect
The Plasma or LCD panel is a high technology product
with resolution of two million to six million pixels.
In a very few cases, you could see fine dots on
the screen while you’re viewing the TV. Those
dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the
performance and reliability of the TV.
yGenerated Sound
Cracking noise: A cracking noise that occurs
when watching or turning off the TV is generated
by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature
and humidity. This noise is common for products
where thermal deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A
low level noise is generated from a high-speed
switching circuit, which supplies a large amount of
current to operate a product. It varies depending
on the product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
yTake care not to touch the ventilation openings.
When watching the TV for a long period, the
ventilation openings may become hot. This does
not affect the performance of the product or
cause defects in the product.
yIf the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
small flicker when it is turned on. This is normal,
there is nothing wrong with TV. Some minute dot
defects may be visible on the screen, appearing
as tiny red, green, or blue spots. However, they
have no adverse effect on the TV’s performance.
Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your
finger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing
so may produce some temporary distortion
effects on the screen.
Preventing Image burn or Burn-in on
your TV screen
yIf a fixed image displays on the TV screen for
a long period of time, it will be imprinted and
become a permanent disfigurement on the
screen. This is image burn or burn-in and not
covered by the warranty.
yIf the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a
long period of time, image burn may occur on the
letterboxed area of the screen.
yAvoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen
for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD,
1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent
image burn.
