Using the TV’s Features
Chapter 3 51
Browser Screen Burn Prevention
If the browser is idle for a period of time, a pop-up message appears to remind you to turn it off
when you are not using it to prevent uneven wear of the screen. Remember that fixed images tend
to “burn” in. In browser mode, the contrast level of your TV is automatically set to a reduced level to
help slow the effects of uneven screen aging.
Additional steps have been taken to mitigate uneven screen aging on your TV. You will notice that
the usual browser menu and on-screen buttons that you may be accustomed to working with on a
PC are not displayed on-screen. Instead, these functions are on your remote or optional keyboard.

Saving Your Favorite URLs
Program any favorite (FAV) key, including HOME and SEARCH, to any
URL (website address). After you’ve browsed to a favorite URL, just press
the desired key and hold it until a message appears. That site’s URL will
be assigned to the key you pressed and saved in the TV. The next time
you press the key briefly, the browser will automatically go to the site you
saved.
You can store 32 additional URLs (websites) by using the following
buttons together: SHIFT and FAV, CTRL and FAV, ALT and FAV.
If you have the optional keyboard, previously visited sites are also
available as a drop-down listing from the address bar. The list can hold
only a certain number of addresses, so at some point a new address will
replace the oldest one.
Controlling the Web Browser
As stated previously, the remote control and front panel buttons support only basic browser functions. However, the
optional keyboard makes browser navigation much easier and is the only way to enter a URL address. Below is a
table that shows which remote buttons work what function.
Tip
Sometimes the browser locks onto an incompatible
website and it won’t open. Exiting the browser will
not correct this condition. When the browser is
restarted, the browser returns to the last-used
website. To correct this condition, either press a FAV
button to go to a known good website or press
“Address” and enter a good website.
