Help! SA8300HD STB has caused burn-in on Pioneer Elite Plasma Pro930HD

Has anyone experienced this. I freaked out when I saw it. I do not watch 4:3 programming on my plasma so I was surprised when I saw a left line (moderate burn in) and a right line (very light burn-in) of screen and my Rogers cable providers logo (very light burn-in) on the top left of screen. Will this go away? After analyzing my viewing habits and patters I concluded that when I activate the Scientific Atlanta's TV guide(left info button) to access the programming, I must be viewing it for longer periods of time than normal and is therefore causing burn-in. I can only speculate this as I cannot think of any other type of abuse that I'm inadvertently causing to the dispaly.

Can anyone suggest what settings on the on the SA8300HD STB I can activate to lesson the light output of the TV guide and other on screen displays of this STB.

Thanks everyone. I sure hope someone can help or reassure me.

Please read the following post on burn in. It results from any static image and really has nothing to do with the SA8300HD per se.

If it truly is burn in (after viewing for a long time - say months), then it is not reversible. If it's image retention - after a few hours or days, that will go away as you watch different programming.

I can't imagine that you have the TV guide function up long enough to cause burn in.

A proper setup of the TV will help, as will a proper setup of the STB, so that the TV will auto-stretch SD channels (and the TV guide when on SD channels, although that should not be a concern considering how little the guide is usually up on the TV). See:
