Burn-in
A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) is that displaying the same image for a long time causes a part of the image to stay
on the screen (this is called phosphor burn-in).
Avoid burn-in as follows.
Use the PICTURE SHIFT function. To prevent burn-in, the picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down
and to the left and right at regular intervals. See page 30 for details.
· Even if the PICTURE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture may shift to the left or right when the channel or input is changed.
The PICTURE MODE function is initially set to BRIGHT. Unless the TV is being watched in an extremely bright
room, it is recommended to change the PICTURE MODE setting to either STANDARD or SOFT. Doing so will
reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the life of the PDP. See "PICTURE MODE" on page 21
Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.
· Reduce CONTRAST and BRIGHT on the PICTURE SETTING menu (page 21) when viewing.
Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 15).
Screen size is normally chosen to ensure that the picture is displayed on the entire screen. After viewing in the REGULAR mode in
which black bands may occur at the left and right of the screen, it is recommended to change to the PANORAMIC mode to display
the picture on the entire screen.
Do not view for long periods of time using the PIP function (page 16) or MULTI-PICTURE function (page 17).
If Burn-in has occurred
If burn-in occurs, try the REFRESH function (page 30). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.
Note:Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Pixel defects
PDPs use collections of fine dots ("pixels") to display images. While there is no problem with more than 99.99% of these pixels,

Do not install the TV near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves
It may cause interference in images, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.
Effect on infrared devices
There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.
The surface of the TV screen is easily damaged. Be very careful with it when handling the TV.
Should the TV screen become soiled, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never rub it hard.
Never use any cleaner or detergent on it.
In the event of a fault, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover.
