CAUTION
When using Video games, computers, and similar products
with your projection TV, or viewing a TV station whose logo
always stays on the screen, keep the brightness and picture
functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern
such as a station logo is left on the screen for long periods
of time, especially at a high brightness or picture setting,
the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen.
These types of imprints are known as image retention.

How to reduce the risk of “Image Retention” on your
Projection TV
Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos displayed
on your TV can cause permanent damage to your TV,
resulting in retention of the image in the picture. Please
take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing image
retention:
View a variety of program sources or programming
material.
Image retention can occur when bright stationary images
such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the program
material viewed reduces the possibility that a single image
will become imprinted on the picture tubes in your TV.
When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust the
picture setting to reduce the “Picture” and “Brightness”
levels. Image retention is accelerated by higher
“Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.
Please see page 92 for instructions on adjusting picture
settings.
This will help you reduce the risk of causing image
retention.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY
