Plasma HDTV Warning: Preventing Image Retention (Burn-In)

Your plasma TV illuminates phosphor to display images, much like a conventional tube-type television. Keeping stationary images displayed on the TV will eventually result in uneven aging of the phosphor, causing grayed-out images to permanently appear on the screen.

Permanent image retention can be avoided by taking some basic precautions. Following the recommendations listed below will help ensure your plasma TV will have longer life and offer better performance:

NOTE: Image retention and uneven screen aging are not covered by your limited warranty.

•Whenever possible, avoid frequently displaying stationary images, such as Web sites, computer graphics, or video games for extended periods of time.

•Display video and images in the widescreen 16:9 ratio format. Use the Aspect button on the remote control to change from 4:3 screen size (standard television) to fill the screen in 16:9 ratio. This will prevent potential image retention of sidebars.

•Avoid viewing the onscreen display (OSD) menus from DVD players, VCRs, and other components for extended periods of time.

•When watching a movie from a DVD player or VCR, avoid leaving the same image paused continuously over a long period of time.

•Turn down the contrast and brightness of the screen. High brightness and contrast can accelerate image retention or stationary images.
