Performing adjustments on the plasma display operation panel
and remote control
13) MP (Motion Picture) mode-setting mode
This function is valid only for PC98, VGA, and MAC input signals (and for NTSC inputs double-rate-converted from RGB-
1 and RGB-2 terminals). With the remote control, use the 5 and ∞ buttons to select the item to be set, and confirm
your selection with the SET button. With the operation panel, select the item with the + and – buttons, then confirm
your selection with the SET button. This function allows the selection appropriate for image-sequence processing or for
stills or animations. Select ON for stills and OFF for animations.
• MP mode
When animations such as those used in games are reproduced in the input of non-interlaced signals, including non-
interlaced computer signals, the "stripe-like shadow" may appear in parts of the resulting image. Known as pseudo-
contour, this phenomenon results from the method of gradation expression used to express. Changing the MP mode
to ON can greatly reduce pseudo-contour, though gradation expression may be less sharp, depending on the particular
input signal.
