Examples of stationary images are letterbox top/bottom bars from DVD or other video sources, side bars when showing standard TV pictures on widescreen TV’s, stock market reports, video game patterns, station logos, web sites, or stationary computer images. Such patterns can unevenly age the picture tubes causing permanent damage to the TV.

Infrared signal receivers are usually behind the front translucent panel of the device.
Part II: Installation Warning: Do not leave stationary or letterbox images on-screen for extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown. Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty. This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the image onto the screen. All picture tubes age with use. As they age, their light output is gradually reduced. Normal TV pictures fill the screen with constantly changing images.
