Important user information
When not using the product for a long period of time
If you do not use the product for a long period of time, the functions of the product
may be adversely affected. Switch on and run the product occasionally.
Condensation
Condensation may take place on the surface or inside of the product when the
product is rapidly moved from a cold place to a warm place or just after a heater
is switched on in winter morning, for example. When condensation takes place,
do not switch on the product and wait until condensation disappears. Using the
product with condensation may result in malfunction.
Cleaning the surface of the screen
When cleaning the screen surface, gently wipe it with the supplied dry cleaning
cloth.
Caution
Rubbing hard on the screen can scratch the special film coating the surface. If
cleaning gently with the dry cloth is not enough to remove grime, unplug the
power cord from the outlet and follow the procedure below.
1. Soak a piece of soft, untreated cloth in distilled water.
A "treated" cloth contains polish or other chemicals, such as in a commercially
available eyeglass cleaning towelette.
2. Wring out the cloth so that it is slightly damp, not wet.
Make sure to wring out the cloth completely. Cleaning the surface with a wet
cloth can allow water to seep into the unit, causing damage.
3. Gently wipe the surface of the screen with the damp cloth.
4. Wipe the surface again using the dry cloth included with your panel to remove
any remaining dampness and to prevent streaks.
Cleaning the glossy surface of the front cabinet
When cleaning the glossy surface of the front cabinet, gently wipe it with a dry
soft cloth; the supplied cleaning cloth or other similar cloths (e.g., cotton and
flannel). If you use a dusty or hard cloth, the surface of the product will be
scratched.
Cleaning the cabinet
When cleaning the cabinet of this product, gently wipe it with a clean soft cloth
(e.g., cotton and flannel). If you use a dusty or hard cloth or if you rub the cabinet
hard, the surface of the cabinet will be scratched.
The cabinet of this product is mostly composed of plastic. Do not use chemicals
such as benzene or thinner to clean the cabinet. Using these chemicals may
result in quality deterioration or coating removal.
Do not expose the product to volatile gas or fluid such as pesticide. Do not make
the product contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. The
effect of plasticiser in the plastic may result in quality deterioration or coating
removal.
If you clean the surface of the cabinet with a wet cloth, water droplets on the
surface may enter into the product, resulting in malfunction.
Handles at the rear of the flat screen TV
When moving the flat screen TV, ask another person for help and use the handles
attached to the rear of the flat screen TV. Do not move the flat screen TV by
holding only a single handle.
Do not use the handles to hang the product when installing or carrying the
product, for example. Do not use the handles for the purpose of preventing the
product from tilting over.
Fan motor noise
The rotation speed of the cooling fan motor increases when the ambient
temperature of the flat screen TV becomes high. You may hear the sound of the
fan motor at that time.
To use this product for a long period of time
The Energy Save function can maintain efficiency of the screen for a long period
of time. Setting the Energy Save function to "Mode1" is recommended in order to
maintain the efficiency of the screen for a long period of time.
Caution
Panel sticking and after-image lag
Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time may cause after-
image lagging. This may occur in the following two cases.
After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for more than
one minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load.
The after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images
are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the
luminance of the still images and the time they had been displayed.
After-image (lag image) due to burning
Avoid displaying the same image on the flat screen TV continuously over a long
period of time.
If the same image is displayed continuously for a long period, or for shorter
periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image may remain on the
screen due to burning of the fluorescent materials. Such images may become
less noticeable if moving images are later displayed, but they will not disappear
completely.
Note
• To prevent damage from screen burning this flat screen TV will automatically
- after a display time of 5 to 10 minutes - turn off those still images generated
by the system itself: the Home Media Gallery function and Graphical User
Interface elements such as HOME MENU and the Electronic Programme
Guide.
• To prevent screen burning, the display position is automatically changed
imperceptibly when watching flat screen TV (see Orbiter on page 43).
Preventing damage from screen burning
• We recommend that you enjoy watching images displayed in full screen,
except when doing so may result in copyright infringement (see page 41).
• Set the Side Mask detection function to "Mode 1" or "Mode 2", the High
Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side masks will be detected
and the side masks will be added automatically or the image displayed in full
screen, leading to more effective countermeasures taken for the screen
burning (see Detecting side masks on page 42).
