High-Deﬁnition Television (HDTV): HDTV refers to a complete product/system with the following minimum performance attributes:

Receiver: Receives ATSC terrestrial digital transmissions and decodes all ATSC Table 3 video formats.

Display Scanning Format: Has active vertical scanning lines of 720 progressive (720p), 1080 interlaced (1080i) or higher.

Aspect Ratio: Capable of displaying a 16:9 image. Audio: Receives and reproduces, and/or outputs Dolby Digital audio (Consumer Electronics Associa-

tion, August 2000).

Plasma Display Systems display images consisting of hundreds of thousands of minute pixels (light emitting cells), and there is a possibility that some pixels may be inactive, ﬂashing or continually illuminated.

Plasma Display Systems are made of glass; be sure to secure it from damage from impact. Plasma Display Systems, while in use, may generate some functional sounds, for example: fan motor

noise, and electrical circuit humming/glass panel buzzing. All phosphor-based display systems (CRT Television Systems—both direct view and projection televi-

sions—as well as plasma display systems) may develop image retention, sometimes called burn-in if permanent. Recommended guidelines are as follows:

Do not display still images for long periods (such as ﬁxed images from PC or TV game equipment, and/or time of day indicator or channel logo display).

28‑5/16”

Do not display content in the 4:3 aspect ratio (black or gray bars on left and right side of content) or letter-box content (black bars above and below of content) for extended periods of time, or use either of these viewing modes repeatedly within a short period of time. This Plasma Display System is equipped with multiple wide-screen viewing modes; use one of these screen modes to ﬁll the entire screen with content.

Displaying dark images after displaying still images for a period of time may cause image retention. In most cases, the image retention can be corrected by displaying bright images for a similar period of time. However, if your Plasma Display System displays still images for additional long periods of time, image retention may be irreparable.

Plasma Display Systems emit slight amounts of IR (Infrared) emission through luminous discharge technology. This IR emission is not harmful to living organisms, but may interfere with the operation of remote controls for other equipment, or cause static in equipment using IR signals (such as cordless headphones or cordless microphones).
