WARNING Concerning

Stationary Images on the TV

Screen:

Do not leave stationary or letter

box images on screen for extend

ed periods of time. This can

cause uneven picture-tube aging.

Normal use of the TV should involve

the showing of pictures that contain

constantly moving and changing

images that fill the screen. Be careful

not to leave nonmoving images on

screen for extended periods of time, or

to display the same images on screen

too frequently, because subtle ghost

images can be left on the picture

tubes. Sources of stationary images

may be DVD disks, laser disks, video

games, CD-i disks, videotapes, digital

television boxes, broadcast channels,

cable channels, satellite channels, and

others. Here are some examples of

stationary images (this is not an all-

inclusive list; you may encounter

others in your viewing):

• DVD menus—listings of DVD

disk content

• Letterbox black bars—shown at

the top and bottom of the TV

screen when a wide screen (16:9)

movie is viewed on a TV with stan

dard (4:3) aspect ratio.

• Video-game images and score-

boards

• Television station logos—pres

ent a problem if they are bright and

stationary; moving or low-contrast

graphics are less likely to cause

uneven aging of the picture tube

• Stock-market tickers—present

ed at the bottom of the TV screen

• Shopping channel logos and

pricing displays—^bright and

shown constantly or repeatedly in

the same location on the TV screen.

Placement of the TV

• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet

color changes, and increased

chance of set failure, do not place

the TV where temperatures can

become excessively hot; for exam

ple, in direct sunlight or near a

heating appliance.

• Be sure to allow a free flow of air

to and from the perforated back

cover of the set.

Cleaning

• To avoid possible shock hazard, be

sure the TV is unplugged from the

electrical outlet before cleaning.

• Regularly dust the TV with a diy,

nonscratching duster to keep the

TV clean.

• When cleaning the TV, take care

not to scratch or damage the screen

surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or

using anything abrasive. Do not use

household cleaners. Wipe the front

screen with a clean cloth dampened

with water. Use even, easy, verti

cal strokes when cleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces

with a clean cloth or sponge damp

ened in a solution of cool, clear

water and a mild soap or detergent.

Use a clean, diy cloth to diy the

wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventila

tion holes or slots in the back cover

of the set.

• Never use thinners, insecticide

sprays, or other chemicals on or

near the cabinet, as they might

cause permanent marring of the

cabinet finish.
