1) Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before performing maintenance.
2) Cabinet and Remote-control Unit
Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner. Using such solvents could cause the cabinet and remote control to
degrade and could cause the coating to peel.
Wipe the cabinet and remote control with a soft cloth. If there is heavy soiling, soak a soft cloth in water mixed with
a mild detergent. Ring out the water well then clean the panel. Dry the chassis by wiping with a soft, dry cloth.
3) Screen (front protection panel)
The screen (front protection panel) is treated with a special coating to prevent glare and is very delicate. To clean it,
remove any dust and then wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Do not clean it with tissue or a rough, textured cloth.
DO NOT use solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean the as this could damage or discolor the display panel.
The following cleaning cloths and cleaning liquid are recommended.
In the case of light soiling, remove the dust and then gently wipe with a Minimax cloth. If there is heavy soiling,
remove the dust then apply a small amount of B4 cleaning liquid to an area of the Minimax cloth. Clean the panel. If
any of the cleaning chemical left on the unit may make the surface uneven. After the B4 has dried, wipe it clean with
a dry Minimax cloth.
4) Vents
Dust should be removed from the cooling vents on the sides and rear of the unit and in the fan installation area once
a month with a vacuum cleaner set on LOW. Also, be sure that the main power switch has been turned OFF before
cleaning the vents. Using the unit with accumulated dust causes the internal temperature to rise and could cause fire
or other trouble to occur.
5) Readjustment of the White Balance
This unit uses phosphor elements as in a CRT display, and they degrade over time, reducing the brightness. Since,
blue phosphor elements degrade faster than red and green.
* Occasional readjustment of the white balance may be beneficial.
