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 fixed image is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty.

This 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:

• Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.

• Turn the power off when not in use.

Note: Determine the manufacturer of the component and look

in the table for the code (found on page 11).

Procedure

ENGLISH

1. Confirm that the external component is plugged in and operating.

2. Turn the component off.

3. Press and together, for at least 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the illuminated mode

(component) buttons will begin to flash. Release the ACTION and POWER buttons.

4. Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control VCR, DVD, CABLE or DBS. The component button will illuminate steadily and all others will go out.

5. Enter the 3-digit component code using the Remote Control numeric keypad (0 ~ 9 buttons). The component button will blink twice.

6. Press the Remote Control to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the

component will turn on and the component key will blink twice and then go out.

Note: If the component does not operate with the Remote

Control, repeat steps 3 through 6 using another code (some brands have multiple codes). If an incorrect code is entered, or if the procedure takes longer than 30 seconds, the programming will fail.
