IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO PREVENT “IMAGE BURN
/ BURN-IN” ON YOUR TV SCREEN

■

When a fixed image (e.g. logos, screen menus, video game, and computer display) is displayed on the TV

for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on the screen. This phenomenon is known
as “image burn” or “burn-in.” Image burn is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

■

In order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a fixed image on your TV screen for a prolonged period

(2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma).

■

Image burn can also occur on the letterboxed

areas of your TV if you use the 4:3 aspect
ratio setting for an extended period.

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the

precautions below. An outdoor antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of over­head power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come in contact
with such power lines or circuits as death or
serious injury can occur.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) in the U.S.A. provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna dis­charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
