How to reduce the risk of"Image Retention" on your TV
\*lien using TV games, compmers and similar products with your TV. or viewing a TV station whose logo always stays on the screen, keep the brightness and contrast fnnctions at low settings.
Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos displayed on your TV can cause permanent damage to yottr 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 sonrces or progrannning material.
hnage retention can occur when bright stationary images such as TV station logos are viewed. (?hanging the program lnaterial viewed reduces the possibility that a single image will become imprinted on the picture tubes in your TV.
\_11en viewing programs with stational T images, adjust the picture setting to reduce the "Pictttre" and "Brighmess" levels. Image retention is accelerated by higher "Brightness" and higher "Picture" settings.
Please see page 59 for instructions on ac[iusting pictttre settings.
This will help you reduce the risk of causing image retention.
