The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To  
ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the  
dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.  
If the angle of the TV set is to be adjusted, steady the base  
of the stand with your hand to prevent the TV set from  
becoming separated from the stand. Be careful not to get  
your fingers caught between the TV set and the stand.  
Precautions  
Viewing the TV  
To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing  
position is from four to seven times the screen’s vertical  
length away from the TV set.  
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.  
Optional Equipments  
Do not install optional components too close to the TV set.  
Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the  
TV set. If a VCR is installed in front of the TV set or  
beside the TV set, the picture may become distorted.  
Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the TV  
set is positioned in close proximity to any equipment  
emitting electromagnetic radiation.  
View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor  
light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.  
Volume adjustment  
Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours.  
Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing  
the windows or using headphones is suggested.  
When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid  
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.
