							Precautions When Displaying a Still Image 
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.• Do not display a still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. 
This image retention is also known as "screen burn".  
To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.
• Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen
caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. 
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen. 
Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
•Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images. 
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.  
Précautions à prendre lors de l'affichage d'une image fixe
Une image fixe peut causer des dommages irrémédiables à l'écran du téléviseur.• N'affichez pas une image fixe sur l'écran LCD plus de 2 heures. Cela pourrait provoquer une rémanence de l'image à l'écran. 
Cette rémanence de l'image est également appelée "brûlure de l'écran". 
Pour éviter une telle rémanence de l'image à l'écran, réduisez la luminosité et le contraste de l'écran lorsque vous laissez une image fixe affichée.
• Regarder l'écran LCD du téléviseur en format 4:3 pendant une longue période peut laisser des traces de bordures à gauche, 
à droite et au centre de l'écran, à cause de la différence d'émission de lumière sur l'écran.
La lecture d'un DVD ou l'utilisation d'une console de jeu peut avoir un effet similaire sur l'écran. 
Les dommages provoqués par les effets qui précèdent ne sont pas couverts par la garantie.
•L'affichage d'images fixes de jeux vidéo et d'ordinateurs pendant plus longtemps qu'une période spécifique peut provoquer des rémanences.
Pour éviter cela, réduisez la "luminosité" et le "contraste" lors de l'affichage d'images fixes.
Precauciones al mostrar en la pantalla una imagen fija
La imagen fija puede causar daños permanentes en la pantalla del televisor.•No deje una imagen fija en la pantalla LCD durante más de dos horas ya que se podría producir una retención de la imagen en la pantalla. Este fenómeno de 
retención de imágenes también se denomina "quemadura de pantalla". 
Para evitar que se produzca esa persistencia de la imagen, reduzca el nivel de luminosidad y de contraste de la pantalla cuando muestre imágenes fijas.
• El uso del televisor LCD en formato 4:3 durante un tiempo prolongado puede dejar rastros de bordes en las partes izquierda, 
derecha y central de la pantalla debido a las diferencias en la emisión lumínica de la pantalla. 
La reproducción de un DVD o el uso de una consola de videojuegos pueden provocar un efecto similar en la pantalla. 
Reproducir un DVD o una videoconsola puede causar un efecto similar en la pantalla. La garantía no cubre estos daños.
•Ver imágenes fijas de videojuegos y PC durante más tiempo del indicado puede producir restos de imágenes parciales.
Para evitar este efecto, reduzca el 'brillo' y el 'contraste' cuando vea imágenes fijas.

If your antenna has one lead that looks like this, see “Antennas with 75 
ΩRound Leads”.
If you have two antennas, see “Separate VHF and UHF Antennas”.
Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or “rabbit ears”) that has 300 Ωtwin flat leads, follow the directions below.
