Attention: PLEASE NOTE
 Picture freezing
Please do not leave a single image (e.g. from a video game) showing on the plasma or LCD monitor, this can lead to the screen
freezing. This phenomenon is also known as ‘Screen Burn’. In order to avoid this phenomenon, please reduce the brightness
and contrast of the monitor if a single image is showing.
 Heat on the top side of the plasma or LCD TV
The topside of the appliance can become hot after prolonged use, this is due to heat emanating from the ventilation slots on the
upper part of the housing. This is totally normal and means that is not due to any damage to the appliance or a malfunction.
Children should, however, not be allowed to touch the upper part of the appliance.
 The appliance makes ‘cracking’ noises
A ‘crack’ can occur if the appliance expands or contracts due to changes in the environment such as temperature or humidity.
This is normal and does not mean that the appliance is faulty.
 Pixel cell defects
Plasma or LCD displays use a large number of pixels, requiring highly developed technology. One or two light or dark pixels
can appear on the screen though. These pixels have no effect on the performance of the appliance.
 Avoid using the television in temperatures below 5°C (41ºF).
 A still image left on the screen for too long can lead to permanent damage to the Plasma/LCD
monitor.
Leaving an image on the plasma or LCD TV for too long can result in traces being left
on the left, right and centre of the screen. This is brought about by differences in
the luminous radiation of the monitor. The reproduction of a DVD or video game can
have a similar effect on the monitor. The damages evoked by this effect are not covered in the guarantee.
 After-image
The display of a still-image for a long period of time from a video or computer game can cause the display of after-images. To
avoid these effects, you should reduce the ‘contrast’ and ‘brightness’ when displaying still images on the screen for long periods
of time.
 Guarantee
The guarantee does not cover any damages due to screen burns.
Burnt-in images are not covered in the guarantee.
 Installation
Please use a qualified customer service technician for the installation of your appliance in environments with large amounts of
dust, high or low temperatures, high levels of humidity and chemical substances or if the appliance is to be used 24 hours a day,
e.g. in an airport, train station, etc.
This could otherwise lead to damage to the appliance.
