IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
y y If you smell smoke or other odors coming
from the TV, unplug the power cord and
contact an authorized service center.
y y Do not press strongly upon the panel with
your hand or a sharp object such as a nail,
pencil or pen, or make a scratch on it.
y y Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
y y Dot 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.
y y Generated 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.
y y Take 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.
y y If 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.
DISPOSAL (Hg lamp only used in LCD TVs)
The fluorescent lamp used in this product contains
a small amount of mercury. Do not dispose of
this product with general household waste.
Disposal of this product must be carried out
in accordance to the regulations of your local
authority.
Preventing “Image burn” or “Burn-in” on your TV screen
y y If 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.
y y If 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.
y y Avoid 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.
