Important Information

(1) The long time (max. 2 hours) use of a TV game on this set is not recommended, since the signal from

the TV game may cause damage to the picture projection tubes of the set.

(2) Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after

image to remain on the Wide Projection TV screen.

Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images and teletext. If still picture cannot be avoided, reduce the brightness and contrast levels of the picture to minimize

any damage that might occur.

(3) In order to minimize any damage to the projection tubes, this set uses the PICTURE SHIFT function

(Refer to page 25) to change (shift) the entire picture approximately 2 mm every 15 minutes.
