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.

VCR Connection

VCRs, video disc playe rs, video game equipment, an d DSS equipment can also be connected to the video inputs. See the optional equipment manual for more information.
