If the LCD panel needs cleaning, removethe LCD panel unit following to“ LCD panel replacement”.3. Clean the optical parts with a soft cloth. Clean extremely dirty areas using a cloth moistened with alcohol.Caution:The surface of the optical components consists of multiple dielectric layers with varying degrees of refraction.Never use organic solvents (thinner, etc.) or any kind of cleanser on these components.Since the LCD panel is equipped with an electronic circuit, never use any liquids (water, etc.) to clean the unit. Useof liquid may cause the unit to malfunction.After long periods of use, dust and other particles will accumulate on the LCD panel, prism, mirror, polarizedglass, lens, etc., causing the picture to darken or color to blur.
