Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed.
This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a
heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature: -4°F to +140°F (-20°C to +60°C)

- Check the resolution setting on the PC. Is a non-compatible signal being input?
Picture quality of HD programs is
poor.
To enjoy HD images from external equipment, you are required to set up HDMI
connection or component connection.
If the program content is not of HD quality, HD images cannot be displayed. Check
that the program you are viewing provides HD images.
The HD cable/satellite set-top box may need to be configured to output HD images
via cable/satellite.
The cable/satellite broadcast may not support a signal resolution of 1080p.
The TV sometimes makes a
cracking sound.
This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and
contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the TV's
performance.
