Screen Burning - Pioneer PDP-425CMX Technical Manual

5.6 Screen Burning

When the same image is reproduced for a long time (still image, telop, etc.), the image is burned into to screen and may
not be able to be removed. This should be managed by making necessary changes in the video software, projection
method, system configuration etc.
This display has a function of preventing and reducing this kind of burning.
7 Menu mode
1 ENERGY SAVE setting (Refer to section 5.3.4, "Adjustment and setting in the Menu Mode 12) Energy saving
Setting (pg. 124)".)
The screen brightness is controlled according to the input signal, and brightness of the room where used.
2 ORBITER Setting (Refer to section 5.3.4, "Adjustment and setting in the Menu Mode 13) Orbiter Setting (pg.
126)".)
The display position of the screen is moved in the horizontal and vertical direction approximately every 8 minutes,
or the edges of the images are restricted by setting soft focus in order to display soft images.
7 Integrator Mode
1 SCREEN MASK Setting (Refer to section 5.4.3, "Adjustment and setting in the Integrator Mode 9) SCREEN
MASK Setting (pg. 145)".)
An inverse or full mask signal is display on the screen.
When edging is properly performed beforehand using a full mask, it becomes more difficult for the screen to
become burned.
Using an inverse signal may be an emergency measure when the screen is burned when displaying a still image
(however it is not possible to remove the burning completely).
2 SIDE MASK Setting (Refer to section 5.4.3, "Adjustment and setting in the Integrator Mode 10) SIDE MASK
Setting (pg. 146)".)
This setting adjusts the method of displaying the SIDE MASK signal, and adjusts the signal level of the SIDE
MASK signal.
7 Menu Mode and Integrator Mode
1 PROGRAM TIMER Setting (Refer to section 5.4.3, "Adjustment and setting in the Integrator Mode 8) Program
Timer Setting (pg. 144)".)
The screen display contents change at a set time according to set conditions.
7 Standard Functions (Settings cannot be changed)
1 Auto Brightness Adjustment (still image detection)
When an image that has little or no motion, such as a photograph or computer screen, is displayed for a long time,
the screen becomes a little dim. This is order for the screen-protection function of the plasma panel to automatically
adjust the brightness and protect the screen when an image with little motion is detected. This function functions
after an image with little motion has been detected for 3 minutes.
The setting for this function is not found in the menu (the setting cannot be changed).
