Important Information Regarding the Use of Video Games, Computers, or Other Fixed
Image Displays
WARNING: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from viewing a fixed image
is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty.
The television is designed to display constantly moving images on the screen. Continuous viewing of
stationary images such as letterbox pictures on standard screen TVs (with top/bottom bars), nonexpanded standard (4:3) pictures on wide screen TVs (with side bars shown on each side of an image),
stock market report bars (ticker running at the bottom of the screen), video game patterns, fixed
scoreboards, bright station logos, on-line (Internet) or repetitive computer style patterns should be limited.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause permanent picture tube damage, shown as
a “shadow image” viewable on normal programs. This type of irreversible picture tube deterioration can be
limited by performing the following steps:
• Limit the display of fixed image program material to no more than 15% of total viewing time per week.
• Turn the power off when not in use.
WARNING: KEEP UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER OBJECTS OUT OF THE REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN.
THESE OBJECTS CAN BE ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED. ALSO, BE CAREFUL ABOUT PACKAGING MATERIALS AND
PLASTIC SHEET.

Digital TV - Set-Top Box (DTV-STB) or DVD
Connection
This television is capable of displaying 1080i and 480p DTV
signals when connected to a DTV tuner set-top-box (STB). In
order to view DTV programming, the STB must be connected
to the component video inputs (Y,PB,PR) of the television. A
DTV signal must be available in your area. Select the output of
the STB to either 1080i or 480p.
This television also utilizes a progressive scan doubler, which
de-interlaces the NTSC signal and progressively scans the
image. This allows you to sit close to the TV and not see the
thin black horizontal lines (venetian blind effect) associated
with interlaced TV pictures.

the back of your television.
