High-Definition Television (HDTV): HDTV refers to a complete product/system
with the following minimum performance attributes:
Receiver: Receives ATSC terrestrial digital transmissions and decodes all
ATSC Table 3 video formats.
Display Scanning Format: Has active vertical scanning lines of 720
progressive (720p), 1,080 interlaced (1,080i) or higher.
Aspect Ratio: Capable of displaying a 16:9 image.
Audio: Receives and reproduces, and/or outputs Dolby Digital audio
(Consumer Electronics Association, August 2000).
Plasma Display Systems display images consisting of hundreds of thousands
of minute pixels (light emitting cells), and there is a possibility that some
pixels may be inactive, flashing or continually illuminated.
Plasma Display Systems are made of glass; be sure to secure it from dam-
age from impact.
Plasma Display Systems, while in use, may generate some functional
sounds, for example: fan motor noise, and electrical circuit humming/glass
panel buzzing.
All phosphor-based display systems (CRT Television Systems - both direct
view and projection televisions - as well as plasma display systems) may
develop image retention, sometimes called burn-in if permanent. Recom-
mended guidelines are as follows:
Do not display still images for long periods (such as fixed images from
PC or TV game equipment, and/or time of day indicator or channel logo
display).
Do not display content in the 4:3 aspect ratio (black or gray bars on left and
right side of content) or letter-box content (black bars above and below of
content) for extended periods of time, or use either of these viewing modes
repeatedly within a short period of time.This Plasma Display System is
equipped with multiple wide-screen viewing modes; use one of these
screen modes to fill the entire screen with content.
Displaying dark images after displaying still images for a period of time
may cause image retention. In most cases, the image retention can be
corrected by displaying bright images for a similar period of time. However,
if your Plasma Display System displays still images for additional long
periods of time, image retention may be irreparable.
Plasma Display Systems emit slight amounts of IR (Infrared) emission
through luminous discharge technology. This IR emission is not harmful to
living organisms, but may interfere with the operation of remote controls
for other equipment, or cause static in equipment using IR signals (such as
cordless headphones or cordless microphones).
