Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.

•

Digital Ready TV: When you select the regular screen (4:3) mode to watch an SD-grade digital broadcast (and the set-top box output is 480p).

•

Digital Ready TV: When you select the wide screen (16:9) mode to watch an SD-grade digital broadcast (and the set-top box output is 1080i).

Although digital broadcasting must be in the wide screen (16:9) HD format, broadcasters sometimes show programs made originally in the regular screen format (4:3) by converting the signals into digital form, in which case the left and right side edges of the screen are cropped.

Note : If the borders at the left, right and the

center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience the same problem with products by other manufacturers.

•

Digital Ready TV: When the TV receives HD-grade signals (and the set-top box output is 1080i).

When you watch a digital HD-grade broadcast on a regular (4:3) TV with the screen size "16:9" or "Panorama" selected, you will be able to watch the program but the top and bottom edges of the screen will be cropped.

Note : If the borders at the top, bottom and

the center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience the same problem with products by other manufacturers.

• Integrated

(Wide-screen): When the TV receives SD-grade (regular) broadcasting signals (receives 480p regular signals).

•

Digital Ready TV

digital TV: When the TV receives SD-grade (regular) broadcasting signals (with a set-top box).

Digital TV

(wide-screen):

• When you watch an analog

(regular) broadcast on a wide-screen TV (with the 4:3 screen mode selected).

Note : If the borders at the left, right and the

center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience the same problem with products by other manufacturers.

•

When you watch a DVD, CD or a

video in wide screen (21:9) format on a wide-screen (16:9) TV.

• When you connect a computer or a game console to the TV and select the 4:3 screen mode.

If you connect a DVD player, computer or a game console to the wide-screen TV and watch a movie or play a game in regular (4:3) or wide (21:9) screen mode, the left and right side edges, or the top and bottom edges of the screen will be cropped.

Note : If the borders at the left, right and the

center of the screen remain fixed for an extended period of time, the amount of light transmission will also remain varied and as a result the borders may leave traces.

Do not leave the screen in pause mode for extended periods of time as you may experience the same problem with products by other manufacturers.
