Tips & Warnings
Do not be alarmed if the picture does not appear right away after you press the Power button to turn on your TV. During the startup process, it may take up to five minutes for the LG 32LX1D model TV to warm up and the image to display when it is first powered up.
Sudden or gradual changes in ambient temperature may cause your TV to make unusual sounds when it is turned off or on. This is normal. Keep the room temperature steady to lessen the effect.
