Cannot control the TV with the remote control.| • Check if anything such as tape has been placed over the receiver.
• Check if there is any obstacle between the product and the remote control.
• Replace the batteries with new fresh ones.
---|---
No image display and no
sound is produced.| • Check if the product is turned on.
• Check if the power cord is connected to a wall outlet.
• Check if there is a problem in the wall outlet by connecting other products.
The TV turns off suddenly.| • Check the power control settings. The power supply may be interrupted.
• Check if the auto-off function is activated in the settings menu.
• If there is no signal while the TV is on, the TV will turn off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Abnormal Display| • If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small flicker when it is turned on. This is normal; there is nothing
wrong with TV. Some minute dot defects may be visible on the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots.
However, they have no adverse effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid touching the screen or holding your finger(s)
against it for long periods of time. Doing so may produce some temporary distortion effects on the screen.
• This panel is an advanced product that contains millions of pixels. In a very few cases, you could see fine dots on the screen  while you’re viewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the performance and reliability of the TV.
Generated Sound| • Cracking noise A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and humidity. This noise is common for products where thermal deformation is required.
• Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing A low level noise is generated from a high-speed switching circuit, which supplies a large  amount of current to operate a product. It varies depending upon the product. This generated sound does not affect the performance  and reliability of the product.

  • Make sure to wring any excess water or cleaner from the cloth.
  • Do not spray water or cleaner directly onto the TV screen.
  • Make sure to spray just enough of water or cleaner onto a dry cloth to wipe the screen.

Precautions for Protecting the OLED TV Screen

Unlike regular LED/LCDs, OLED TVs produce images that emit light for each pixel, achieving a perfect black color and delivering clear images without blurring.
Due to the nature of the organic materials used to achieve high-resolution image quality, OLED displays generally experience image retention on the screen, which can be a persistent phenomenon. This phenomenon is observed in all  OLED panels, and although recommended picture modes can minimize image retention, current technology cannot completely prevent this from occurring.
Displaying the same image for a long time or repeatedly displaying the same image can cause image retention on the screen, which is a common phenomenon in OLED panel products due to the nature of the product. This product has a built-in screen protection feature. Avoid displaying images that are likely to cause image retention, and follow the recommendations.

Images that are likely to cause image retention

  • Images with black areas on the top and bottom and/or the left and right sides of the screen.
  • Images whose aspect ratio is 4:3 or 21:9.
  • Images that are fixed for a long time, such as channel number, station logo, game console icon, set-top box menu, etc.
  • Other fixed screen images or repeatedly displayed images.

Running [Pixel Cleaning] to Protect the OLED TV Screen
The OLED TV is equipped with a pixel cleaning feature to check the status of the screen by itself and prevent image retention. This feature is automatically calculates the optimal execution time based on the accumulated viewing time and  is automatically executed when the TV is turned off. While this feature is running, horizontal lines may appear at the top and bottom of the screen. The pixel cleaning feature works when the product is connected to the power cord and main power.

  • To run this function manually, press the button on the remote control, go to → [General] → [OLED Care] → [OLED Panel Care] and press [Pixel Cleaning].

Recommendations for Minimizing Image Retention
When watching the TV for a long time, press the button on the remote control, go to → [Picture] → [Select Mode] and set the mode to [APS], go to [Advanced Settings] → [Brightness] and set [OLED Pixel Brightness] to  a lower level. In addition, press the button on the remote control, go to → [General] → [OLED Care] → [OLED Panel Care] and set the [Adjust Logo Brightness] value to [High].
When showing images with black bars at the top/bottom/left/right side of the screen, press the  button on the remote control, press , and go to  [Picture] → [Aspect Ratio] → [User Selection] → [Vertical Zoom] or [4-Way Zoom]  to remove the black bars.
Turn off the menus for setting up devices such as set-top boxes so that they are not displayed on the screen for a long time.

Note

  • When the screen is showing one fixed image for a long time, the screen brightness will be automatically reduced and then restored once the screen content changes. This is a normal function to minimize image retention.

– ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
– ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the television set.
– ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
– ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
– ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
– NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
– NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
– NEVER place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
– NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.
If the existing television set is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

CHILD SAFETY:
PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS

THE CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY CARES
Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer technology industry are committed to making products safe and enjoyable. As you enjoy your television, please note that all televisions – new and old- must be supported on proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.

TUNE IN TO SAFETY

  • NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the television or the furniture on which the television is placed.
  • NEVER place the television on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
  • ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation of your television.
  • ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use of your television.
  • ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked down.
  • ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the television so that they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION

  •   ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional installation if you have any doubts about your ability to safely mount your television.
  • ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by the television manufacturer and has a safety certification by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
  • ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the television and mount manufacturers.
  • ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the television is  appropriate. Use proper anchoring systems for different wall or ceiling types (e.g. wood, concrete, metal, etc.). If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
  • Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling mount installation.

MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR HOME

  • REMEMBER Special care should be made in the placement of older CRT/flat-panel televisions. Many new television buyers move their older CRT/flat-panel televisions into a secondary room after the purchase of a flat-panel television.
  •   NEVER place your older CRT/flat-panel television on a dresser where children may be tempted to use the drawers to climb.
  • ALWAYS place your older CRT/flat-panel television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate for its size and weight.
  • ALWAYS make sure your older CRT/flat-panel television does not hang over the edge of your furniture.

    ► To tune channel to following physical/major/minor
    number.
    Transmission [m][a][ ][0][ ][Data00][ ][Data01] [ ][Data02][ ][Data03][ ][Data04][ ][Data05][Cr] Digital channels have a Physical, Major, and Minor channel number. The Physical number is the actual digital channel number, the Major is the number that the channel should be mapped to, and the Minor is the sub-channel. Since the ATSC tuner automatically maps the channel from the Major / Minor number, the Physical number is not required when sending a command in Digital.
