Cabinet Cleaning
• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the TV with a
soft cloth immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry.
• Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide liquid near
the TV. Such chemicals may cause damage and discoloration to
the exposed surfaces.
Panel Cleaning
Wipe the panel of the TV with a soft cloth. Before cleaning the
panel, disconnect the power cord.
Servicing
Should your TV become inoperative, do not try to correct the
problem yourself. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Turn
off the TV, unplug the power cord and call our toll free customer
support line found on the cover of this manual to locate an
authorized service center.
IR Signal Check
If the remote control is not working properly, you can use an AM
radio or digital camera (including a cellular phone with built-in
camera) to see if it is sending out an infrared signal.
• With an AM radio:
Tune the AM radio station to a non-broadcasting
frequency. Point the remote control towards it,
push any button and listen. If the sound from the
radio fl utters, it is receiving the remote control’s
infrared signal.
• With a digital camera
(including built-in cell phone cameras):
Point a digital camera towards the remote control.
Push any button on the remote control and look
through the digital camera. If the infrared light
appears through the camera, the remote control is
working.
