LCD Screen
• Although the LCD screen is made with high-
precision technology and 99.99% or more of the
pixels are effective, black dots may appear or
bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may
appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a
structural property of the LCD panel and is not a
malfunction.
• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun.
Doing so may damage the screen surface.
• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place
objects on top of this unit. The image may be
uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.
• If this unit is used in a cold place, a smear may
occur in the picture or the picture may become
dark.
This does not indicate a failure. These
phenomena disappear as the temperature rises.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are
displayed continuously. It may disappear after a
few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this unit
is in use. This is not a malfunction.
Fluorescent lamp
This unit uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light
source. If the screen image becomes dark, flickers, or
does not appear, the fluorescent lamp has run down
and should be replaced. For replacement, consult
qualified service personnel.
Heat
Do not touch the surface of the unit. It remains hot,
even after the unit has been turned off for some
time.
Cleaning the screen surface
The screen surface is finished with a special coating
to prevent strong light reflections. Be sure to
observe the following precautions to avoid
damaging the finish.
• To remove dust from the screen surface, wipe
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe
with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a
diluted mild detergent solution.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/
acid cleaner, scouring powder, or strong solvent
such as alcohol, benzine or thinner.
Adjusting the viewing angle of the TV (KLV-
SG21M1 only)
When adjusting the angle, hold the stand with your
hand so that it does not come loose or fall off.
Be careful not to catch your fingers between the TV
and the stand.
