Default crt burn in

The horizontal line and foldover line burn in on the phosphor is 99% of
the time not the direct cause of any
internal failure of the tv set (except for RPTVs).
Since it typically takes considerable time on a direct view tv set for
burn in to occur,
the burn in is caused by someone using the tv set for extended hours in
the fault condition.
