Placement and maintenance  
The TV must be placed on a firm surface. Allow a  
space of at least 5 cm above and to the sides of  
the TV for adequate ventilation.  
Note: After some time (usually years) particles  
may penetrate the space behind the contrast  
screen, forming a thin film of dirt on its inner  
surface and on the picture tube. This may affect  
the clarity of the picture adversely. In such case,  
we recommend that you leave cleaning to your  
Bang & Olufsen dealer.  
The BeoVision MX TVs can also be placed on the  
floor, in an upright position or at a slight tilt  
backwards.  
Note: Specially designed stands are available for  
placement of your TV. Please consult your Bang &  
Olufsen dealer for details.  
Wipe dust off the surface of your TV using a dry,  
soft cloth. If necessary, remove grease stains or  
more persistent dirt with a firmly wrung soft cloth  
which you have dipped in a solution of water  
containing a few drops of mild detergent.
