WARNING
screen: Do not leave fixed images on the screen for
extended periods of time.This can cause uneven aging
of the picture tube.
Normal use of the TV should involve viewing of programs that
have constantly moving or changing images. Do not leave non- •
moving images on screen for extended periods of time. Do not
display the same images too frequently; subtle "ghost"images
can be left on the picture tube. Sources of stationary images
may be Laser discs, video games, Compact Discs Interactive
(CD-i), or paused Digital Video Discs (DVDs) or videotapes.
concerning stationary images on the TV TV LOCATION
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and an
increased chance of TV failure, do not place the TV where
temperatures can become excessively hot (for example,
in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance).
Allow a free flow of air around the TV.
Here are some common examples of stationary images:
. DVD menus - listings of DVD content.
• Letterbox black bars - appear at the top and bottom of
the TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed
on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio. This is available
with some DVDs.
Video-game images and scoreboards
•Television station Iogos - These cause a problem if they
are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics
are less likely to damage the picture tube.
• Stock-market tickers - may appear at the bottom of the
TV screen if the TV programming covers this news.
, Shopping channel Iogos, pricing displays - These may
be bright and may appear constantly during the show.These
are usually in the same location on the TV screen.
CLEANING
• To avoid possible shock hazard, remove the TV's power
cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-scratching duster.
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 screen
with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy,
vertical strokes when cleaning.
Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or a
sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a
mild soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the
wiped surfaces.
Occasionally vacuum the vents on the rear of the TV.
" Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on
or near the cabinet. They may blemish the cabinet perma-
nently.
