DX-19LD150A11/DX-22LD150A11
• If your TV/DVD combo has been exposed to rain or water.
• If your TV/DVD combo does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions because incorrect
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your
TV/DVD combo to its normal operation.
• If your TV/DVD combo has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• When your TV/DVD combo exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV/DVD
combo, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70,
provides information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Note to CATV system installer
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides
guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable
ground must be connected to the grounding system of the building as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Condensation
Moisture will form on the TV/DVD combo if it is brought from cool
surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises
suddenly. When this happens, the TV/DVD combo's performance may
be impaired. To prevent this, let the TV/DVD combo stand in its new
surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure
that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the TV/DVD combo is
exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the
location of the TV/DVD combo.
Mobile telephone warning
To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound, operating
problems, or even damage, keep your cordless and cellular telephones
away from the TV/DVD combo.
End of life directives
Your TV/DVD combo contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp
containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may
be regulated for environmental reasons. Your TV/DVD combo also
contains material that can be recycled and reused. For disposal or
recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic
Industries Alliance at www.eia.org to find a recycler in your area.
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which
provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few
non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red
point. These non-active pixels do not adversely affect the performance
of your TV/DVD combo, and are not considered defects.
