This digital television is capable of receiving analog basic, digital
basic and digital premium cable television programming by direct

How to Reduce the Risk of “Image Retention”
on the Screen
Please take the following steps to reduce the risk of causing
image retention:
· When using video games, computers, and similar products
with your projection TV, or viewing a TV station whose
logo always stays on the screen, keep the Brightness and
Picture functions at low settings. (See page 84 for
instructions on adjusting Brightness and Picture settings.)
· View a variety of programming material. Changing the
program material viewed reduces the possibility that a
single image will become imprinted on the screens.
· This TV was designed primarily for viewing TV broadcasts
in wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio). Therefore when
viewing conventional (4:3) aspect ratio TV programs,
select Wide Mode settings that fill the image on your
screen. This will reduce the possibility of the gray sidebars
becoming permanently imprinted.
Please see page 84 for instructions on adjusting picture
settings. See pages 59-60 for information about using Wide
Mode.
IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY
