Care and Cleaning

WARNING concerning stationary images on the TV screen: Do not leave fixed images on the screen for extended periods of time.This can cause uneven aging of the picture tube.

Normal use of the TV should involve viewing of programs that have constantly moving or changing images. Do not leave non- moving images on screen for extended periods of time. Do not display the same images too frequently; subtle “ghost” images can be left on the picture tube. Sources of stationary images may be Laser discs, video games, Compact Discs Interactive (CD-i), or paused Digital Video Discs (DVDs) or videotapes.

Here are some common examples of stationary images:

•DVD menus - listings of DVD content.

•Letterbox black bars - appear at the top and bottom of the TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio. This is available with some DVDs.

•Video-game images and scoreboards

•Television station logos - These cause a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to damage the picture tube.

•Stock-market tickers - may appear at the bottom of the TV screen if the TV programming covers this news.

•Shopping channel logos, pricing displays - These may be bright and may appear constantly during the show.These are usually in the same location on the TV screen.

TV LOCATION

•To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and an increased chance of TV failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot (for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance).

•Allow a free flow of air around the TV.

CLEANING

•To avoid possible shock hazard, remove the TV’s power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

•Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-scratching duster.

•When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

•Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or a sponge dampened in a solution of cool, clear water and a mild soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

•Occasionally vacuum the vents on the rear of the TV.

•Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet. They may blemish the cabinet perma- nently.
