IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE USE OF VIDEO GAMES, COMPUTERS, OR OTHER FIXED
IMAGE DISPLAYS.
WARNING: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from viewing fixed image is not an
operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty.
This television is designed to display constantly moving images on the screen. Continuous viewing of stationary
images such as letterbox pictures on standard screen TVs (with top/bottom bars), non-expanded standard (4:3)
pictures on wide screen TVs (with side bars shown on each side of an image), stock market report bars (ticker
running at the bottom of the screen), video game patterns, fixed scoreboards, bright station logos, 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:
•Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
•Turn the power off when not in use.

•Turn the component off.
•Press and together, for at least 5 seconds.
•Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control VCR, DVD, CABLE or DBS.
•Enter the 3-digit component code using the Remote Control numeric keypad (0 ~ 9 buttons).
•Press the Remote Control to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turnon.
Programming Without a Code
This procedure searches all codes and is called the “sequence method.”
•Confirm that the external component is plugged in and on.
•Turn the component off.
•Press and together, for at least 5 seconds.
•Press appropriate component button on the Remote Control.
•Press to move forward to the next code. Press to move backward.
•Press the Remote Control to test the component. If the procedure was successful, the component will turn on.
Note: Repeat the above steps until the component code is found. It may take many attempts before the correct code
isfound.
•After the code is found, press to store the code.
