Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent screen burn or image retention?
Do not display a still image for more than 2 hours, and reduce the brightness and contrast when displaying such images.
What should I watch out for during initial installation?
Contact an authorized service center if installing in areas with extreme dust, temperature, humidity, or where operation is continuous (like airports).
Can the TV operate correctly at high altitudes (over 2000m)?
No. The PDP can normally only operate below 2000m in height and may function abnormally above this level.
Is it normal for the top of the PDP to be hot?
Yes, it is normal as heat dissipates through the upper vent hole after long periods of use, but children should not touch this area.
