WARNING: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from viewing fixed image is not an
operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. 
The television is designed to display constantly moving images on the screen. Continuous viewing of stationary images
such as letterbox pictures on standard screen TVs (with top/bottom bars), non-expanded standard (4:3) pictures on wide
screen TVs (with side bars shown on each side of an image), stock market report bars (ticker running at the bottom of the
screen), video game patterns, fixed scoreboards, bright station logos, on-line (Internet) or repetitive computer style
patterns should be limited.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause permanent picture tube damage, shown as a “shadow
image” viewable on normal programs. This type of irreversible picture tube deterioration can be limited by performing the
following steps:
• Limit the display of fixed image program material to no more than 15% of total viewing time per week.

About HDMI
HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics A/V
interface that supports several uncompressed standards,
enhanced and high definition video formats as well as
existing multi-channel audio format. One jack supports both
video and audio information. The HDMI/HDCP
1 input can
be connected to an EIA/CEA 861
2compliant consumer
electronic device, such as a set top box or DVD player
equipped with an HDMI or DVI output connection. By
inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) high definition picture source to the HDMI terminal
of this TV, high definition pictures can be displayed on the
screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal is not
intended to be used with personal computers. This TV is
compatible with 1080i, 480p and 480i formats. Select the
output of the connecting device to match that of the TV.
Notes:
1. HDMI/HDCP = High Definition Multimedia Interface /
High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection.
2. EIA/CEA-861 Profiles compliance covers profiles for
transmission of uncompressed digital video including
high bandwidth digital content protection.
