Important notes about your LCD
TV
The following symptoms are technical limitations of
LCD Display technology and are not an indication of
malfunction. Therefore, TACP/TCL is not responsible for
perceived defects resulting from these symptoms.
1) An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if a fixed,
non-moving image is displayed for a long period of time.
The afterimage is not permanent and will disappear in a
short period of time.
2) The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using
an extremely high level of precision technology; however,
there may be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does
not operate properly (that does not light, that remains
constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural property of LCD
technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is not
covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not visible
when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing
distance.
Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a
"gun" type of joystick at an on-screen target may not work
on this TV.
Precautions
Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD player
section. Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a
cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form
on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may
condense on the optical pick-up lens inside DVD player, one
of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD player.
Moisture condensation occurs during the following
cases.
• When you bring the TV directly from a cold place to a warm
place.
• When you use the TV in a room where you just turned on
the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air
conditioner directly hits the TV.
• In summer, when you use the TV in a hot and humid place
just after you move the TV from an air conditioned room.
• When you use the TV in a humid place.
