reading it. As this operation manual is multilingual, we also suggest the same with each language. Keep it in
a safe space for future reference.
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 LCD panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature: –20°C to
e60°C.
1 Repeat steps 1 to 3 in Changing the PIN. (See page 17.)
2 Enter “3001” to cancel out the current PIN.
• The PIN resets to the factory preset “1234”.
Problem Possible Solution
• No power.
• Unit cannot be operated.
• Remote control unit does not
operate.
• Picture is cut off.
• Strange colour, light colour, or
dark, or colour misalignment.
• Power is suddenly turned off.
• No picture.
• No sound.
• The DTV menu screen is
displayed in monochrome and
hard to select the item.
