Part IV: Operation

Warning: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on-screen for extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown. Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.

IMPORTANT NOTES #2

The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV picture types. The most frequently used picture types should ll the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns. Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time, or display- ing the same stationary pattern frequently can leave a subtle but permanent ghost image. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any one week. Display con- stantly moving and changing images that ll the scr een wh enever possi bl e.

This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen. All picture tubes age with use. As they age, their light output is gradually reduced. Normal TV pictures ll the scr een wi th constantly changing images. Under these conditions, picture tubes age at an even rate across the entire screen. This main- tains a TV picture that is evenly bright over the whole screen. Stationary images or images that only partially ll the scr een (leaving black or colored bars to ll the screen), when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly, can cause uneven aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts of the stationary images in the picture.

Still or stationary images may be received from broadcasters, cable channels, sat- ellite channels, DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs, on-line services, web/internet searching devices, video games, and digi- tal TV tuner/converter boxes. Examples of these types of images can be, but are not limited to the following:

Letterbox top/bottom black bars: shown at the top and bottom of the TV screen when you watch a widescreen (16:9) movie on a standard (4:3) TV.

Side bar images: solid bars shown on each side of an image when watch- ing a standard (4:3) program on a wi- descreen (16:9) TV.

Stock-market report bars: ticker run- ning at the bottom of the TV screen.

Shopping channel logos & pricing dis- plays: bright graphics that are shown con- stantly or repeatedly in the same location.

Video game patterns and scoreboards

Bright station logos: moving or low- contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes. On-line (internet) web sites: or any other stationary or repetitive computer style images.
