CAUTION:
A video source (such as a video game, compact disc interactive [CDI], or
TV information channel) that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can
cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the
pattern of the nonmoving portion of the game (or other source) can leave a permanent
image on the picture tube. When youÕre not using the video source, turn it OFF. Also,
regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.
¥ Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of
cool, clear water. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
