CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING Concerning Stationary
Images on the TV Screen:
PLACEMENT 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.
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):
• Be sure to allow a free flow of air to
and from the perforated back cover of
the set.
CLEANING
• 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.
• 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.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation
holes or slots in the back cover of the
set.
• 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
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays,
or other chemicals on or near the cabi-
net, as they might cause permanent
marring of the cabinet finish.
• 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.
GLOSSARY
29
Auto Programming • The procedure of
adding or deleting channel numbers into
the Television’s memory circuits. In this
format the Television “remembers’’ only
the locally available or desired channel
numbers and skips over any unwanted
channel numbers.
Remote Sensor Window • A window
or opening found on the Television con-
trol panel through which infrared remote
control command signals are received.
Status/Exit • Allows the user to quickly
confirm what channel number is currently
being viewed. Status can also be used to
clear the Television of on screen displays
or information (rather than waiting for the
displays to “time out” or automatically dis-
appear from the screen).
Coaxial Cable • A single solid antenna
wire normally matched with a metal plug
(F-type) end connector that screws (or
pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input
found on the Television or VCR.
Surf • The action of scanning specific
channel in a limited channel list.
Closed Caption • Broadcast standard
which allows you to read the voice con-
tent of television programs on the TV
screen. Designed to help the hearing
impaired this feature uses on-screen "text
boxes" to show dialogue and conversa-
tions while the TV program is in progress.
Twin Lead Wire • The more commonly
used name for the two strand 300 Ohm
antenna wire used with many indoor and
outdoor antenna systems. In many cases
this type of antenna wire requires an addi-
tional adapter (or balun) in order to con-
nect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals
designed into the more recent Televisions
and VCRs.
Side Audio/Video Inputs • Located on
the side of the TV these connectors
(phono type plug) are used for the input
of audio and video signals. Designed for
easy use with VCRs or cameras.
Tuner Mode • Feature control settings
made by the TV. Designed for first time
set up and use. Settings for signal connec-
On Screen Displays (OSD) • Refers to

controls shown on the Television screen
that are made available for user adjust-
ments.
