About Permanent after-image
• Due to the characteristics of a plasma screen, if the same image is displayed for an extended period
of time, permanent after-image (image retention) in part of the screen may result. As a result of accu-
mulative effect, brightness deterioration results.
To prevent permanent after-image, it is recommended not to display the same image for an extended
period of time, or in 4:3 mode. If retention occurs, display a moving picture like a video movie. This may
After-image appear
help to reduce minor permanent after-image. But it cannot be removed entirely once it has occurred. If
the same static picture is displayed frequently, it is recommended to decrease "Brightness," or to
adjust the Long life setting.
Note on operations in 4:3 mode
• In 4:3 mode, because of the sharp contrast between the displayed image area and non-displayed image area (frame),
permanent after-image is likely to result.
Therefore, we recommend adjusting the TV settings as follows:
1. Reduce "Contrast" and "Brightness" of the picture. The more you reduce, the more effect is effective.
2. Adjust the brightness of the side panels. The more you turn the brightness high, the more effect is effective.
However, after adjusting the above settings, permanent after-image may not be removed entirely; only the onset of after-
image is delayed. Display your TV in Super Live or Wide mode as much as possible.
Some parts of the screen do not light up
• The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes
some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a sign of a malfunction.
About infrared rays
• The plasma screen of this unit emits infrared rays in normal operation, and may influence some infrared-operated equip-
ment by a use state although the measures of infrared ray (filter, etc.) are taken. Locate such equipment carefully to
prevent rays from the plasma screen causing any problems.
About Interference
• Plasma display may cause interference in image, sound, etc. of other electronic equipment that is easy to receive electro-
magnetic waves (i.e. AM radios and video equipment) under certain installed condition. In particular, it may affect elec-
tronic equipment beyond the residential unit where a plasma display TV is used.
About Static electricity
• If you touch the surface of the screen panel, you may feel a slight electric shock. This is harmless.
About using under the low temperature places
• If you use the TV in the room of 0°C or less, the picture brightness may vary until the plasma monitor warms up. This is not
a sign of a malfunction.
About disposal
• Dispose the TV depending on the related local rules or laws.
