Avoid Screen Burn-In
Images such as letterbox bars or side bars, bright closed-captioning backgrounds, station logos, or
any other stationary images may cause the display in your HDTV to age unevenly; this is known as
screen burn-in. See the owner's manual that came with your HDTV for more information.
CAUTION:
Avoid screen burn-in.
Do not display the same fi xed images on your HDTV screen for extended periods
of time.
