CAUTION
Bright, stationary images, such as TV station logos or photos,
displayed on your TV can become permanently imprinted
onto the screen. This type of imprint is known as "Image
Retention". Please take the following steps to reduce the risk
of this occurring:
View a variety of programme sources or programming
material. Changing the programme material viewed reduces
the possibility that a single image will become imprinted on
the TV screen.
When using video games, set-top boxes, or similar products
with your TV, or when viewing a TV station whose logo
always stays on the screen, select the appropriate "Picture"
settings for the room brightness and set "Picture Mode" to
"Standard" (see page 31 for instructions on adjusting
"Picture" settings).
This TV was designed primarily for viewing TV broadcasts
in wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio). Therefore, when
viewing conventional (4:3) TV programmes, select "Smart"
in the "Screen Format".
To reduce the risk of image retention, turn off the On Screen
Display (OSD) by pressing the
the menus of connected equipment (see page 19, 29).
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR
WARRANTY. Un-repairable damage can occur and is not
covered under warranty.
