How to reduce the risk of “Image Retention” on your
Projection TV
Bright, station ary images such as TV station lo gos displayed
on your TV can cause permanent damage to your 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 sources or programming
material.
Image retention can occur when bright stationary images
such as TV station logos are viewed. Changing the program
material viewed reduces the possibility that a single image
will become imprinted on the picture tubes in your TV.
When viewing programs with stationary images, adjust the
picture setting to reduce the “Picture” and “Brightness”
levels. Image reten tion is accelera ted by higher
“Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.
Please see page92 for instructions on adjusting picture
settings.
This will help you reduce the risk of causing image
retention.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY
