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.

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), non-expanded 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.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS

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 STV 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.
