image), stock market report bars (ticker running at the bottom of the screen), video game patterns,
fixed scoreboards, bright station Iogos, on-line (internet) or repetitive computer style patterns should
be limited.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent picture tube damage,
shown as a "shadow image" viewable on normal programs. This type of irreversible picture tube
deterioration can be limited by performing the following steps:
Donot display the fixed imagefor extended periodsof time.
Turn the power off when not in use.

Digital TV -Set-Top Box (DTV-STB) or DVD Connection
This television is capable ofdisplaying 1080i and 480p DTV signals when connected to a DTV Tuner set-top-box (STB). In
order to view DTV programming, the STB must be connected to the component video inputs (Y, Pc, PR) of the television. A
DTV signal must be available in your area. Select the output of the STB to either 1080i or 480p.
This television also utilizes aprogressive scan doubler, which de-interlaces the NTSC signal and progressively scans the
image. This allows you to sit close to the TV and not see the thin black horizontal lines (venetian blind effect) associated
with interlaced TV pictures.
