Tim, If you see no diagonal lines - then remove NOTHING.
Yes there is a film on both sides of the diffuser, and that is a benefit. If the rear side has the diagonal lines, then that film should be removed because the stripes show through. There is no protective film on the back side of the LCD - it is only on the front side. You should remove the front film just before putting the front panel in place - until then, it will protect the LCD surface from scratches wile you are working on the assembly. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > On page 26 of the assembly manual, the 6th step down, it says do > not remove > the backing from either side of the diffuser, I assume that means to leave > the paper backing on that has the writing on it? > > Also, I don't thing there is a protective film on the back of the > LCD, I do > not see any faint yellow or gray diagonal lines.
