[. . . ] When the timer is set, this LED will remain lit even when the TV is turned off. If you are connecting a VCR and digital cable box using a splitter, as described on page 31, you must use a special bi-directional splitter that is designed to work with your digital cable box. When the TV is in use, there is a natural rise in temperature, causing the cabinet to expand or contract and may be accompanied by a slight creaking noise. When Advanced Iris is set, a natural creaking noise occurs due to the basic structure of the optical unit. [. . . ]
