etc. may cause overheating, fi re or electrical shock.
Ŷ
Do not expose your ears to excessive volume from the headphones
Irreversible damage can be caused.
Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen (“image retention”). This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still images
