HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL

• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and

injury may occur.

• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the

panel. This may cause skin inﬂammation.

If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if

the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at

least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.

Possible Adverse Eﬀects on LCD Panel: If a ﬁxed (non-moving) pattern remains on the

LCD Panel for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the

LCD Panel and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT

COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD Panel on for long periods of time

while it is displaying the following formats or images:

• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.

• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style

(16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing

normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on left and right sides

of screen).

The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation.

Therefore we disclaim any responsibility for these symptoms.

• LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology,

however sometimes parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have

luminous spots.

because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions

do not allow time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume may be

seen but may interfere with Closed Captions.

• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed

Captioned signal.

Reception disturbances

IGNITION NOISE:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may

ﬂutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile

ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical

appliances.

GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths.

One is the direct path and the other is reﬂected from tall buildings,

hills or some other objects. Changing the direction or position

of the antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be

caused by defects in the antenna system such as unshielded

leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without

using multiple antenna couplers.

SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station

where the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the

appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak,

it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the

picture.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks,

and in some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS

This television has been designed pursuant to the FCC class

B Rules. This is to prevent a problem to Radio receivers. If this

television causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the

following steps:

• Keep the television away from Radio.

• Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive

interference.

• The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the

television.

• Use a coaxial cable for antenna.

You can check if this television inﬂuences Radio receivers by

turning oﬀ all other equipment other than the television. If you ﬁnd

a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the

instructions mentioned above.

BLOCK NOISE or FREEZE (DIGITAL INPUT):

Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the

screen. This is usually caused by interference from automobile

ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, ghosting of the

image and lost or weak receiving signals.

NOTE:

• The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please

separate radio equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.
