Important Notes Warning : Don't leave stationary or letterboxed images on - screen for extended periods of time . Mix the types of pictures shown . The normal use of aTV should include a mixture of television picture types . The most used pictures types should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns . Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time , or displaying the same stationary pattern frequently can leave a subtle but permanent ghost image in your picture . Note that moving images with stationary black bars can also leave a subtle but permanent ghost image . To avoid this , mix your viewing pattern ; do not show the same stationary image for more than 15 % of your totaITV viewing in any one week . Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible . This projection television uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen . All picture tubes age with use . As they age , their light output is gradually reduced . Normal television pictures fill the screen with constantly changing images . In these conditions , the picture tubes age at an even rate across the entire screen . This maintains aTV picture that is evenly bright over the whole screen . Stationary images or images that only partially fill the screen ( leaving blank or colored bars to fill the screen ) , when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly , can cause uneven aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts of the stationary images in the picture . Uneven picture tube aging is not covered by the warranty . Still or stationary images may be received from broadcasters , cable channels or satellite channels , DVD discs , video tapes , laser discs , on - line services or web / internet searching devices , video games and digital television tuner / converter boxes . Examples of these types of image can be , but are not limited to the following : • Letterbox top / bottom black bars ( These are the black bars shown at the top and bottom of the screen when you watch a widescreen movie on a standardTV ) • Side bar images ( These are the solid bars shown on each side of the image when you watch a normaITV program on a widescreenTV ) • Stock - market report bars ( These are the row of stock prices normally shown at the bottom of the screen during a financial report ) • Shopping channel Iogos and pricing displays ( Especially bright displays that are shown constantly or repeatedly in the same place on the screen ) • Video game patterns or scoreboards • Bright station Iogos ( Subtle , low - contrast Iogos are less likely to cause uneven aging , especially if they are translucent and are not always projected in the same spot ) • On - line ( internet ) web sites or other computer style images that are not changed or are left on display for long periods of time 58
