If you experience any trouble or are confused about a certain function of your television, please read through
this troubleshooting section before calling for service. These tips can save you time and money since charges
for TV installation and adjustment of customer controls are not covered under this television’s warranty.
CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or TV information
channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen, can cause picture tube damage.
When your TV is continuously used with such a source the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game
(CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source
OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.
