teletext, etc., can become permanently ingrained on the picture tube. This
damage is not protected by your warranty as it is a result of misuse. If you need
to display still images, it is always advisable to reduce the brightness and
contrast settings or alternate with normal TV viewing.

Clean with the "Enhanced Screen Cleaning Kit"
Your projection TV’s screen is made up of thousands
of vertical ridges that help enhance and define the
colour TV images. These ridges can collect airborne
dust which will reduce the clarity and brightness of
your TV picture. To clean your TV screen effectively,
it is recommended that you purchase an "Enhanced
Screen Cleaning Kit" (with anti-static cleaner and
magnetic cleaning cloth) from your dealer.
How to use the cleaning kit:
The magnetic cleaning cloth works well alone to
remove dust from your screen. If the screen is very
dirty from smudges and residue, then the screen
cleaning fluid should be used.
Note: Do not spray the fluid directly onto the screen.
Apply directly to the magnetic cloth and wipe onto
the screen's vertical ridges with a top-to-bottom
downward motion stroke.
