These are due to the characteristics of the
LCD screen and do not indicate a
malfunction.
The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it
is exposed to direct sunlight.
When using a cellular phone, keep the
antenna of the cellular phone away from
the LCD screen to prevent disruption of
the video in the form of disturbances
such as spots or colored stripes.
When removing dust from or cleaning
the LCD screen, first turn this product off
and then wipe the screen with a soft dry
cloth.
When wiping the LCD screen, take care
not to scratch the surface. Do not use
harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.
A light emitting diode is used inside the
display to illuminate the LCD screen.
At low temperatures, using the LED
backlight may increase image lag and
degrade the image quality because of the
characteristics of the LCD screen. Image
quality will improve with an increase in
temperature.
The product lifetime of the LED backlight
is more than 10 000 hours. However, it
may decrease if used in high
temperatures.
If the LED backlight reaches the end of its
product lifetime, the screen will become
dimmer and the image will no longer be
visible. In that case, please consult your
dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer
Service Station.
