When not in use

For environmental and safety

reasons, it is recommended that

the TV set is not left in standby

when unused. Disconnect from

the mains. However, some TV

sets may have features which need the TV set to be left in

standby to work correctly. The instructions in this manual

will inform you if this applies.

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.

• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor

light strains your eyes. Watching the screen continuously

for long periods of time can also strain your eyes.

• 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.

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.

Overloading

This TV set is designed to operate on

a 220–240 V AC supply only. Take

care not to connect too many

appliances to the same mains socket

as this could result in fire or electric

shock.

Heat

Do not touch the surface of the TV set. It remains hot, even

after the TV set has been turned off for some time.

Corrosion

If you use this TV set near the seashore, salt may corrode

metal parts of the TV set and cause internal damage or fire.

It may also shorten the life of the TV set. Steps should be

taken to reduce the humidity and moderate the temperature

of the area where the TV set is located.

Handling

• When lifting the TV set or moving the

panel of the TV set, hold it firmly from the

bottom.

• For the KDL-46S2000/KDL-

46S2010, when lifting or moving the

TV, be sure to hold the panel firmly

as illustrated. Place your palm

directly under the panel, from the

rear of the TV.

Precautions

LCD Screen

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision

technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective,

black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue,

or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This

is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a

malfunction.

• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun. Doing

so may damage the screen surface.

• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on

top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD

panel may be damaged.

• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in

the picture or the picture may become dark.

This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena

disappear as the temperature rises.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed

continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in

use. This is not a malfunction.

• The LCD contains a small amount of liquid crystal and

mercury. The fluorescent tube used in this TV set also

contains mercury. Follow your local ordinances and

regulations for disposal.

Fluorescent lamp

This TV set uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light

source. If the screen image becomes dark, flickers, or does

not appear, the fluorescent lamp has worn out and the LCD

screen should be replaced. For replacement, consult qualified

service personnel.

Installing the TV set

• Do not install the TV set in places subject to extreme

temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a

radiator, or heating vent. If the TV set is exposed to

extreme temperature, the TV set may overheat and cause

deformation of the casing or cause the TV set to

malfunction.

• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the

TV set is switched off. To disconnect the TV set

completely, pull the plug from the mains.

• 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.

• 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.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of

the TV set

To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,

observe the following precautions.

• Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or

throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.

• Do not touch the display panel after operating the TV set

continuously for a long period as the display panel

becomes hot.

• We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little

as possible.

• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe

gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a

soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent

solution.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,

scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,

benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or

maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl

materials may result in damage to the screen surface and

cabinet material.

• 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.
