Important Information

Please read the following information on using and
maintaining the TV, for optimum viewing quality.
Picture Quality
• Poor colour registration (the red, green and blue signals
do not overlap properly) may be caused by the influence
of the earth's magnetism. Correct this with the
convergence adjustment (p. 7).
• Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch
the surface with hard objects.
• Displaying a still picture for long periods of time, for
instance, when operating a video game or personal
computer, may damage the picture tube. To avoid this,
keep the picture contrast level low (PICTURE
ADJUSTMENT, p. 15).
Illumination
To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to
direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling.
Installation
• To prevent over heating of the set, do not block the
ventilation openings.
• Do not install the TV in a hot or humid place, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical
vibration.
• After transporting the TV directly from a cold to a warm
location, or if the room temperature has changed
suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor colour
over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has
condensed on the mirrors or lenses inside the TV. Let the
moisture evaporate before using the TV.
Maintenance
• Save the original shipping carton and packing material to
use if you ever have to ship your TV. For maximum
protection, repack your TV as it was originally packed at
the factory.
• To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean
it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a
cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzene, or
abrasive cleaners since these will damage the cabinet. As
a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.
• To remove dust from the front of the screen, unplug the
TV and wipe gently with a soft cloth lightly dampened with
water or a mild detergent solution, using vertical strokes
only. Then wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. Never use
solvents or thinners for cleaning purposes.
• If the picture turns dark after the TV has been in use for a
long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the
inside of the TV. Consult qualified service personnel for this.
