The plasma TV panel is manufactured using an extremely
high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some
parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have
luminous spots. This is not a malfunction.
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended
period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain
on the Plasma TV.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games,
computer images, and Teletext.
Note:
The permanent after-image on the Plasma TV resulting from
fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not
covered by the Warranty.
This product is not designed to display fixed images for
extended periods of time.
