Maintenance
Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of
time you will have with your new Entertainment Machine. Be sure to turn the power off and
pull out the power cord before you begin any cleaning.
SCREEN CLEANING
1. Here's a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of
lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it's
almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your
Entertainment Machine.
CABINET CLEANING
1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.
2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.
3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the Entertainment Machine on.
WOOD CABINETS
Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the Entertainment Machine from dirt and
dust, as well as keep the cabinet looking new.
EXTENDED ABSENCE
If you leave your Entertainment Machine dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it's a good
idea to unplug the power to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you
use an off-air antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of your Entertainment
Machine before leaving.
PICTURE INTERFERENCE
Even though you may be getting cable, the signal may be weak, which means the quality
of your picture may suffer due to other factors. If there are problems with the image on your
Entertainment Machine, consult the Troubleshooting guide on the following pages.
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED-PATTERN DISPLAYS
If you use your Entertainment Machine to play video games or for other uses that have single,
fixed images, such as a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness level too high.
If static images, like network identification patterns, are left sitting for too long, they can leave
a permanent impression on the picture tube. You can reduce the chance of this happening by
limiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and
brightness levels.
If you unplug your Entertainment Machine, you may have to reset the clock using the Clock Set menu
described earlier.
