WARNING Concerning Stationary Images on the TV
Screen:
Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on screen

display aging.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures
that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the
screen. Be caret_l not to leave nonmoving images on screen for
exmnded 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

others in your viewing):

TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio,
