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.

IThe projection 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 loges, 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.
