Precautions For Daily Use
Observe the following items
Maintenance of the cabinet
• When cleaning the cabinet, use a soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) to clean gently.
• Do not use a dry or damp rag mixed with chemicals, as this could cause the ingredients of the cabinet body to deteriorate or
crack.
• Be careful not to use an abrasive cloth for cleaning or clean with excessive force, as this could scratch the surface of the
cabinet.
• If the cabinet is greatly soiled, clean with a soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) soaked with a small amount of diluted neutral
detergent and wrung out, and then clean with a soft dry cloth.
• Solvents such as benzene or thinner could cause the cabinet to deteriorate, or make its coating come off. Therefore do not use
such solvents to clean the cabinet.
• Because plasticizer is included in the plastics, deterioration or the coating peeling off could occur when the cabinet comes into
contact with some substances. Therefore keep it away from volatile substances such as insecticide. In addition, do not let it
come into contact with objects made of rubber, resin, etc. for a long time.
Maintenance of the LCD panel
• Before cleaning the LCD panel, be sure to turn off the TV set and unplug the power cord from the outlet.
• When cleaning the LCD panel, use a dry and soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) to clean the surface of the LCD panel gently.
For protecting the LCD panel, do not clean with a dirty cloth, detergent, or a dry or damp rag mixed with chemicals, as this
could cause peeling of the panel surface.
• Be careful not to clean with an abrasive cloth or with excessive force, as this could cause the panel surface to be scratched.
• If the LCD panel is greatly soiled, clean it gently with a soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) soaked with a small amount of
water (Do not clean with excessive force, so as to avoid the scratch of the panel surface).
• If dust sticks on the surface of the LCD panel, clean the panel with a commercially available cleaning brush (anti-static brush).
Important safety precautions
Caring for the cabinet
• Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the
surface of the cabinet.
• Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may
deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause
cracking.
• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch
the surface of the cabinet.
• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton,
flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water
and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry
cloth.
• The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using
benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform
the cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.
• Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids.
• Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact
with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time.
Plasticizers inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to
deform and cause the paint to peel off.
• When relocating the product
placed on a cart, it must be moved
with utmost care. Sudden stops,
excessive force and uneven floor
surface can cause the product to fall
from the cart.
Caring for the front panel
• Turn off the main power and unplug
the AC cord from the wall outlet
before handling.
• Gently wipe the surface of the front
panel with a soft cloth (cotton,
flannel, etc.).
• To protect the front panel, do not
use a dirty cloth, liquid cleaners, or
a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type
cloth, etc.). This may damage the
surface of the front panel.
• Wiping with a hard cloth or using
strong force may scratch the surface
of the front panel.
• Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe
the front panel when it is really dirty
(It may scratch the surface of the
front panel when wiped strongly).
• If the front panel is dusty, use
an anti-static brush, which is
commercially available, to clean it.
• Water and moisture—Do not use the
product near water, such as bathtub,
washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry
tub, swimming pool and in a wet
basement.

Introduction
• Do not place vases or any other
water-filled containers on this
product.
The water may spill onto the product
causing fire or electric shock.
• Stand—Do not place the product
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod
or table. Doing so can cause the
product to fall, resulting in serious
personal injuries as well as damage
to the product. Use only a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket or table
recommended by the manufacturer
or sold with the product. When
mounting the product on a wall, be
sure to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Use only the mounting
hardware recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Ventilation—The vents and other
openings in the cabinet are designed
for ventilation. Do not cover or block
these vents and openings since
insufficient ventilation can cause
overheating and/or shorten the life
of the product. Do not place the
product on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface, since they can block
ventilation openings. This product is
not designed for built-in installation;
do not place the product in an
enclosed place such as a bookcase
or rack, unless proper ventilation
is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions are followed.
• In case the product is dropped and
the cabinet is damaged, be sure to
turn off the power of the product,
and unplug the power cord. If you
continue to use the product, it may
cause fire or electric shock. Contact
your dealer.
• Do not open the rear cover of the
cabinet to reconstruct the circuits.
There exists high voltage within the
cabinet and it may cause electric
shock and injury. If maintenance is
required, contact your dealer.
• The LCD panel used in this product
is made of glass. Therefore, it can
break when the product is struck
forcefully or with a sharp object. If
the LCD panel is broken, be careful
not to be injured by broken glass.
• Heat sources—Keep the product
away from heat sources such as
radiators, heaters, stoves and other
heat-generating products (including
amplifiers).
• To prevent fire, never place any type
of candle or naked flames on the top
or near the TV set.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do
not place the AC power cord under
the TV set or other heavy items.
• Do not place heavy objects
on this product or stand on it.
Doing so could cause injury if the
product overturns. Take special
care near children and pets.
• Unplug the power cord before you
move the TV set. If not unplugged
beforehand, the power cord may
become damaged and cause
electric shock.
The LCD panel is a very high technology product with
2,073,600 pixels, giving you fine picture details.
Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few
non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point
of blue, green, red or yellow.
This is within product specifications and does not constitute
a fault.
Precautions when transporting the TV
• When transporting the TV, never
carry it by holding or otherwise
putting pressure onto the display.
Be sure to always carry the TV
by two people holding it with two
hands—one hand on each side of
the TV.
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could
cause an afterimage to remain.
• Install the product on the place where the AC cord can
be unplugged easily from the AC outlet, or from the AC
INPUT terminal on the rear of the product.
NOTE
• The above are pictures for reference only; the actual item
might be different.

What is teletext?
Teletext broadcasts pages of information and

them into graphical format for viewing. News, weather

programme previews are among the many services
available.

FLOF (e.g., CNN). Your TV supports both these systems. The
pages are divided into topic groups and topics. After switching
on the teletext, up to 2,000 pages are stored for fast access.
• If you select a programme with no teletext signal, “No Teletext
available” displays.

The HDMI connections permit digital video and audio
transmission via a connection cable from a player/
recorder. The digital picture and sound data are
transmitted without data compression and therefore lose
none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no
longer necessary in the connected devices, which also
would result in quality losses.
