Maintenance
Cleaning
• Clean your TV with a soft, dry cloth. If surfaces are extremely
dirty, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak detergent solution.
• Use an eyeglass cleaner to clean the screen. Never use alcohol,
paint thinner, or benzine.
• Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that
came with the cloth.
No output from one of the
speakers
• Adjust the audio balance. See “Adjusting sound
settings” in the online User Guide.
• Make sure that the audio cables are connected
correctly and securely to the back of your TV.
After images appear
• Do not display a still image, such as a logo,
game, or computer image, for an extended
period of time. This can cause a permanent
after-image to be burned into the screen. This
type of damage is not covered by your warranty.
Problem Solution
Remote control does not
work.
• Make sure that the power cord is correctly
connected to your TV and a power outlet.

control sensor on your TV. For the location of the
remote control sensor, see “Front” in the online
User Guide.
