Still image warning

Avoid displaying still images (such as jpeg picture files) or still image elements (such as TV channel logos, panorama or 4:3 image format, stock or news bars at screen bottom etc.) on the screen. Constant displaying of still pictures can cause ghosting of LCD screen, which will affect image quality. To reduce risk of this effect, please follow below recommendations:

•Avoid displaying the same TV channel for long periods.

•Always try to display any image on full screen, use TV set picture format menu for best possible match.

•Reduce brightness and contrast values to minimum required to achieve desired picture quality, exceeded values may speed up the burnout process.

•Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.

xx If you use parts provided by another manufacturer, it may result in a problem with the product or an injury due to the product falling.The appearance may differ depending on the product.

Be careful when you contact the TV because some parts can be somewhat hot.
