About Interference to Infrared Devices Please note in advance that using other infrared devices (such as infrared cordless headphones) near the plasma display may cause infrared interference to occur. Preventing Image Burn on the plasma display Fixed images displayed on the plasma display for an extended period of several hours may cause uneven pixel aging causing damage to the plasma display. You should try to avoid displaying fixed images for extended periods on the plasma display. Images of high luminance displayed on the plasma display for more than 60 seconds may cause lingering images to remain on the screen. These images will automatically disappear, but may take time depending on the luminance of the images and how long they were displayed on the screen. About Pixel Defects A plasma display is created by using a collection of miniature pixels. It is possible to display more than 99.99% of valid pixels, however a small fraction of pixels over the life of the product may not illuminate or may constantly be illuminated. This is not to be considered a defect in the plasma panel. 6 EN ANT. IN jack Connect your antenna or cable box here.
