Energy Saving Setting - Pioneer PDP-425CMX Technical Manual

4) Energy Saving Setting

This is a function that reduces power consumption and reduces deterioration of the panel. This setting controls the
brightness of the screen according to the input signal.
• To make the screen bright and easy to see: Set 'ENERGY SAVE: STANDARD'.
• To reduce power consumption: Set 'ENERGY SAVE: MODE1, MODE2'.
• To reduce deterioration of the panel such as burning: Set 'ENERGY SAVE: MODE 3'.
• To control according to the brightness of the room and to adjust the screen according to the surroundings: Set
'ENERGY SAVE: AUTO'.
Factory setting: STANDARD

Notes
• When AUTO is set, do not place objects near or let light shine directly on external sensor (see section 2.2, "External
Dimensions" (pg. 8)).
• The external sensor changes in stages; from an external light of 200 lux (rough value) to external light of 0 lux.

(As a standard)
When the white window is displayed, the
peak brightness is decreased as shown
below.
• MODE1: Decreased about 50%
• MODE2: Decreased about 60%
• MODE3: Decreased about 75%

For an overall bright video, there is no change
(Figure on the left).
For an overall dark video, the peak brightness
is reproduced even brighter (Figure on the
right).

Power consumption is lowered by reducing
the brightness of an overall bight video
(Figure on the left).
Similar to in the STANDARD setting, an overall
dark video is peak brightness is reproduced
even brighter (Figure on the right).
The peak brightness in MODE2 is decreased
by a set amount with respect to that in
MODE1, however it is reproduced brighter
than in MODE3.

Input signal graduation is not controlled but
reproduced accurately. Deterioration of the
panel due to burning is reduced since the
peak brightness of an overall dark video is
not increased.
