CAUTION: Use this television receiver only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. In order to avoid injury to children, never place your television receiver on a piece of furniture that is capable of being tilted by a child leaning on it, pulling on it, standing on it, or climbing on it.
5

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING USE OF VIDEO GAMES, COMPUTERS, DSS OR OTHER FIXED IMAGE DISPLAYS.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the picture tube. This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible picture tube deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
A.Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
B.Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C.Turn the power off when not in actual use.
Note: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods of time.
VCRs, video disc players, video game equipment, and DSS equipment can also be connected to the video inputs. See the optional equipment manual for more information.
Note: VIDEO 1 input is a dual-purpose input. It is primarily intended for connection with 480i devices such as a DVD player using the Y PB PR component video jacks and Audio L & R jacks. However, it can also be connected to conventional composite video sources such as a VCR, using only the Y/Video jack and Audio L & R jacks. The on-screen label will display Component or Video 1 depending on which source is connected.
