CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING Concerning Stationary

Images on the TV Screen:

Do not leave stationary or letterbox

images on screen for extended peri-

ods of time. This can cause uneven

picture-tube aging.

Normal use of the TV should involve the

showing of pictures that contain constantly

moving and changing images that fill the

screen. Be careful not to leave nonmoving

images on screen for extended periods of

time, or to display the same images on

screen too frequently, because subtle

ghost images can be left on the picture

tubes. Sources of stationary images may

be DVD disks, laser disks, video games,

CD-i disks, videotapes, digital television

boxes, broadcast channels, cable channels,

satellite channels, and others. Here are

some examples of stationary images

(this is not an all-inclusive list; you

may encounter others in your view-

ing):

• DVD menus—listings of DVD disk

content

• Letterbox black bars—shown at the

top and bottom of the TV screen when

a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed

on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect

ratio.

• Video-game images and score-

boards

• Television station logos—present a

problem if they are bright and station-

ary; moving or low-contrast graphics

are less likely to cause uneven aging of

the picture tube

• Stock-market tickers—presented at

the bottom of the TV screen

• Shopping channel logos and pric-

ing displays—bright and shown con-

stantly or repeatedly in the same loca-

tion on the TV screen.

P

LACEMENT OF THE TV

• To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color

changes, and increased chance of set

failure, do not place the TV where tem-

peratures can become excessively hot;

for example, in direct sunlight or near a

heating appliance.

• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to

and from the perforated back cover of

the set.

C

LEANING

• To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure

the TV is unplugged from the electrical

outlet before cleaning.

• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-

scratching duster to keep the TV clean.

• When cleaning the TV, take care not to

scratch or damage the screen surface.

Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything

abrasive. Do not use household clean-

ers. Wipe the front screen with a clean

cloth dampened with water. Use even,

easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a

clean cloth or sponge dampened in a

solution of cool, clear water and a mild

soap or detergent. Use a clean, dry

cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation

holes or slots in the back cover of the

set.

• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays,

or other chemicals on or near the cabi-

net, as they might cause permanent

marring of the cabinet finish.
