Important Notice

Installing environment
This TV has “Space Tune” function which can adjust the sound quality automatically according to TV and viewer’s position. Using the line array speaker settings, it is also possible to adjust the position that the sound reaches to match the viewing position and circumstances. You can enjoy a three-dimensional acoustic space by using the upward-firing speakers, which reflect sound from the ceiling, the line array speakers, and the left and right speakers. The adjustment of the “Space Tune” function automatically starts when the TV is turned on for the first time after installing this TV and connecting with the external equipment. Follow the on-screen instructions for setting. (p. 12) “Space Tune” can be adjusted with [Space Tune Auto] which adjusts automatically by using the voice control microphone on the remote control to measure and analyse a test tone played back, or with [Preset Adjustment] where you enter the TV’s installation environment and the sound quality is adjusted accordingly.

• A loud sound (test tone) is output while setting with [Space Tune Auto].
• This function is effective only for the sound from TV speakers.
• The effect varies depending on the installing environment.

< Example>

• A: Upward-firing speakers
• B: Line array speakers

Do not display any still part of the image for a long period

• In such cases the still part of the image remains dimly on the screen (“image retention”). This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.

Typical still image parts:

• Still images shown continuously on the same area (ex. channel number, channel logo, other logos or title image, etc.)
• Still or moving pictures viewed in 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, etc.

Video games

• To avoid image retention, the screen saver may be activated (OLED logo moves) or the on-screen message may move after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are performed.
• Set [Logo Luminance Control] to [Max] to avoid image retention. [eHELP] (Search by Purpose > Watching > For best picture > Screen Settings)
• To avoid image retention, the screen may become dim when the motionless image is displayed. This is not a malfunction. The brightness of the screen returns to the previous level when the active image is displayed.
• Be sure to turn the TV off with the remote control or Power On / Off switch to perform the panel maintenance. During the panel maintenance, LED turns to orange. (p. 12) The maintenance works as necessary.
• Set aspect ratio to [4:3 Full] for 4:3 image. For details, refer to [eHELP] (Search by Purpose > Watching > For best picture > Aspect).
