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), 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 a 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.
