NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON
PLASMA DISPLAY
Avoid displaying stationary images on your Plasma display for
extended periods of time. Fixed (non-moving) images (including,
but not limited to, PIP/POP windows, closed captions, video game
patterns, TV station logos, stock tickers, and websites) and
special formats that do not use the entire screen, can become
permanently ingrained in the Plasma display and cause subtle,
but permanent, ghost images. This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. See pages 4 and 5 for
details.
