Important safety precautions
• Cleaning—Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a
damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
• Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the panel when it is dirty. To protect the panel,
do not use a chemical cloth to clean it. Chemicals may cause damage or cracks in
the cabinet of the TV.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
For ventilation, leave a free space of, at least, 10 cm all around the set.
• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when
the product is dropped or impact applied. 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 cord under the
TV set or other heavy items.
• Headphones—Do not set the volume at a high level. Hearing experts advise against
extended listening at high volume levels.
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to
remain.
• There is power consumption always if main plug is connected.
• Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can
expose you to high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified
person to perform servicing.
The LCD panel is a very high technology product, 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 putting pressure
onto the display. Be sure to always carry the TV by two or
more people (80 inch: three or more people) holding it with two
hands—one hand on each side of the TV.
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.
• 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.
