Warning: Preventing

Afterimage Retention

Your plasma TV illuminates phosphor to display images, much like a conventional tube-type television. Viewing stationary images for extended periods of time results in uneven aging of the phosphor, causing grayed-out images to permanently appear on the screen.

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

NOTE: Afterimage retention and uneven screen aging are not covered by your 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 afterimage 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, do not leave 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 afterimage retention or stationary images.
