CAUTION

The continual presence of nonmoving images on your TV screen can damage the picture tube.

A video source such as a video game, CDI, or TV information channel that shows a constant nonmoving pattern on the TV screen can damage the picture tube. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the nonmoving portion of the on-screen image can become permanently fixed on the picture tube. When you are not using the video source, turn it off. Also, regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.
