— AR/AS Coating on the Screen ---------------------------------------------------
The Screen is coated with a special material to hinder ambient light
reflection and dust adherence. It aids picture performance during high
ambient light conditions. The AR/AS coating may be observed when
the set is switched off, since the coating give the screen surface a faint
purplish or blue hue. Take care not to mark or scratch this coating.
{TX-47WG25X are not equipped.)
Note:
(1) The long time (max. 2 hours) use of TV game on the set is not recommended since the
signal from TV game may be the cause of damage on picture projection tubes on the set.
(2) Do not allow any still picture or parts of picture that do not move on the screen for an ex
tended length of time. These pictures can adversely affect your picture projection tubes.
Some examples of still images are Television programming logos, Video games, Computers

SI-video input terminal and the video input terminal are connected at the same time. Thus connection is not required
for video input. Also, when connecting, connect the audio mode at the same time.
