This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Do not expose the TV to dripping or splashing. Avoid placing liquid-filled objects, such as vases, on top of the TV.

CAUTION

To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized AC plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

CAUTION

When using Video games, computers, and similar products with your projection TV, or viewing a TV station whose logo always stays on the screen, keep the brightness and picture functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern such as a station logo is left on the screen for long periods of time, especially at a high brightness or picture setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen. These types of imprints are known as image retention.

CAUTION

How to reduce the risk of “Image Retention” on your Projection TV

Bright, stationary images such as TV station logos 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 retention is accelerated by higher “Brightness” and higher “Picture” settings.

Please see page 92 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
