Precautions When Displaying a Still Image

Astill image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.

•

Digital Ready TV: When you
select the regular screen (4:3)
mode to watch an SD-grade
digital broadcast (and the
Set-Top
Box
output is 480p).
Although digital broadcasting must be in the
wide screen (16:9) HD format, broadcasters
sometimes show programs made originally
in the regular screen format (4:3) by
converting the signals into digital form, in
which case the left and right side edges of
the screen are cropped.
Do not leave the screen in pause mode for
extended periods of time as you may
experience temporary or permanent image
burn.
Note : If the borders at the left, right and the
center of the screen remain fixed for
an extended period of time, the
amount of light transmission will also
remain varied and as a result the
borders may leave traces.

•

Digital Ready TV: When you
select the wide screen (16:9)
mode to watch an SD-grade
digital broadcast (and the
Set-Top
Box
output is 1080i).

•

Digital Ready TV: When the
TV receives HD-grade signals
(and the
Set-Top Box
output is 1080i).
When you watch a digital HD-grade
broadcast on a regular (4:3) TV with the
screen size "16:9" or "Panorama" selected,
you will be able to watch the program but the
top and bottom edges of the screen will be
cropped.
Do not leave the screen in pause mode for
extended periods of time as you may
experience temporary or permanent image
burn.
Note : If the borders at the top, bottom and
the center of the screen remain fixed
for an extended period of time, the
amount of light transmission will also
remain varied and as a result the
borders may leave traces.
