IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO PREVENT "IMAGE
BURN /BURN-IN" ON YOUR TV SCREEN
• When a fixed image (e.g. logos, screen menus, video game, and computer display) is displayed on
the TV for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on the screen. This phenom-
enon is known as "image burn" or "burn-in." Image burn is not covered under the manufacturer's
warranty.
•In
order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a fixed image on your TV screen for a prolonged
period (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more
hours for Plasma).
!l! Image burn can also occur on the letter-
boxed areas of your TV if you use the 4:3
aspect ratio setting for an extended period.

It is recommend that appliances be placed
upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single
outlet circuit which powers only that appli-
ance and has no additional outlets or
branch circuits. Check the specification page
of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not connect too many appliances to the
same AC power outlet as this could result in
fire or electric shock.

sion cords, frayed power cords, or damaged
or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any
of these conditions could result in electric
shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of
your appliance, and if its appearance indicates
damage or deterioration, unplug it, discon-
tinue use of the appliance, and have the cord
replaced with an exact replacement part by
an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord
from physical or mechanical abuse, such as
being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a
door,
or walked upon. Pay particular attention
to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the
cord exits the appliance.
