Cleaning ❑ Clean the rear cover area of the TV regularly. Dust in the rear cover area may cause a problem with the cooling system of the TV set. ❑ Clean the cabinet of the TV with a dry soft cloth. To remove dust from the screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning. If the picture becomes dark after using the TV for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the TV. Consult qualified service personnel. ❑ Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this unit. Cleaning this unit with a plugged AC power cord may result in electric shock. On Contamination on the Screen Surface The screen surface has a special coating to reduce reflections. To prevent screen damage, clean the screen as follows: ❑ Clean the screen with a soft cloth. ❑ To remove hard contamination, use a cloth moistened with a solution of mild detergent and water. Do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the TV. It should only be sprayed to moisten the cleaning cloth. ❑ Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, acid cleaner, scouring powder, chemical cloth, or solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, as these may scratch the screen's coating. Service Damage Requiring Service Do not attempt to service the set by yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Replacement Parts When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. See "Replacing the Lamp" on page 104. For Safety Be Careful When Moving the TV When you place the TV in position, be careful not to drop it on your foot or fingers. Watch your footing while installing the TV. STD/DUO POWER Carry the TV in the Specified Manner If you carry the TV in a manner other than the specified manner and without the specified number of persons, it may drop and a serious injury may be caused. Be sure to follow the instructions mentioned below. ❑ Carry the TV with the specified number of persons (see page 13). ❑ Hold the TV tightly when carrying it. ❑ Before carrying the TV, disconnect any accessories or cables. About the TV Although the TV is made with high-precision technology, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the screen. This is a structural property of the panel and is not a defect. Installation ❑ If direct sunlight or other strong illumination shines on the screen, part of the screen may appear white due to reflections from behind the screen. This is a structural property of the TV. Do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. ❑ The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position. For the best picture quality, install your TV according to "Recommended Viewing Area" on page 15. ❑ Leave some space around your TV. Otherwise, adequate air-circulation may be blocked causing overheating and cause fire or damage the unit. For details, see "When Installing Your TV against a Wall" on page 14. Projection Lamp ❑ Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when: • the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks in red, • screen images become dark, • no image appears on the display after prolonged use. ❑ In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit. (See "Replacing the Lamp" on page 104.) ❑ When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp. Disposal of Used Batteries To preserve our environment, dispose of used batteries according to your local laws or regulations. Objects and Liquid Entry Do not place any objects on the unit. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. Cooling Fan This TV uses a cooling fan.
