fixed, non-moving image appears for a long period of
time. The afterimage 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

HDMI ®video connection instead.
Picture and sound are out ofsync.
As with all products that contain a digital display, this may occur in
rare instances, when viewing certain content (e.g. television
broadcasts, video games, DVDs). The cause may include, without
limitation, video processing within the TV, video processing in an
attached gaming system, and video processing or different
compression rates used by broadcasters in their progralmning.
Try the following:
o.** If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a
programlnable audio delay feature, use this feature to help
synchronize the sound to the picture.
o.** If the problem occurs only on certain TV channels, inform your
local broadcast, cable, or satellite provider.
o.** Turn off and unplug the TV from the AC wall outlet for a few
seconds and plug it back in.

by the above copyright and conditions, but instead by the usual distribution terms of the Free
Solbzvare Foundation; principally, that you must include source code if you redistribute it.
(See the file ansi2knr.c tbr full details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part of any
program generated fi'om the IJG code, this does not limit you more than the foregoing
paragaphs
do.
The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf It is copyright
by the Free Solbzvare Foundation but is freely distributable. The same holds for its supporting
scripts (config.guess, config.sub, ltmain.sh). Another support script, install-sh, is copyright
by X Consortium but is also ti'eely distributable.
The IJG distribution tbrmerly included code to read and write (}IF files. To avoid
entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has been removed
altogether, and the (}IF writer has been simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs". This
technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the resulting (}IF files are larger than usual, but
are readable by all standard (}IF decoders.
We are required to state that
