The after image is not permanent and will disappear in a short
period of time.
2) The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using an
extremely high level of precision technology; however, there may
be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not operate properly
(does not light, remains constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural
property of LCD technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is
not covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not visible
when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance.
Note:
Interactive video games that involve shooting a “gun” type
of joystick at an on-screen target may not work on this TV.

Notes on moisture condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please
read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you
pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day and drops
of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same
way, moisture may condense on this units internal optical
pick-up lens, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
Q
Moisture condensation may occur in the following
situations:
When you move the unit from a cold area to a warm area.
When you use the unit in a room in which the heat
was just turned on.
When you use the unit in an area where cold air from
an air conditioner directly hits the unit.
When you use the unit in a humid area.
Wait!

Q
Never use the unit when moisture condensation
may occur
Using the unit when moisture condensation exists may
damage discs and internal parts. Connect the power
cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit,
remove the disc, and leave it for two or three hours.
After two or three hours, the unit will have warmed up
and evaporated any moisture. Leaving the TV
connected to the wall outlet will help prevent moisture
condensation in the TV or DVD Player.
