Problem	Possible solution

• After-image lag.

•After displaying a still image or a very bright image for a certain period of time, if the screen is then switched to a darker scene, the previous image may appear as an after-image.

•This can be rectified by playing a rather bright moving image for several minutes. However, displaying a still image for excessively long periods of time may cause permanent display deterioration.

•To help eliminate after-image when it occurs, display the “Video Pattern” screen. (See page 49.)

•Brightness and colour tone on both sides differ from those in the center in 4:3 mode.

•If images in 4:3 mode or letterbox images are displayed for long periods or for shorter periods over several days, an after-image may remain due to burning. This is a characteristic of plasma televisions.

•We recommend that you enjoy watching images in a full screen mode as much as possible. (See page 46.)

•When watching images in 4:3 mode, we recommend you select “Auto” for the Side Mask setting. This adjusts the brightness of the grey side masks according to the brightness of the main image. (See page 48.)

HDMI Control

•HDMI Control functions do not operate. • Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma television and the device that supports the HDMI Control functions. (See page 66.)

•HDMI Control may not operate properly if you do not use an HDMI cable that supports the HDMI 1.3 Specification.

•Check if you have entered the settings properly for “HDMI Control Setting”. (See page 68.)

•Check if the settings for the HDMI Control functions are effective on the connected device(s). For details, refer to the operation manual that came with the device.

• No image and audio is presented.

•Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma television and the device that supports the HDMI Control functions. (See page 66.)

	Control functions. (See page 66.)
	• Check if you have entered the settings properly for “HDMI Control Setting”. (See page 68.)
	• When the image from a BD/DVD player or DVD recorder connected through an HDMI Control supported AV
	system is switched to display on sub screen in the 2-screen or picture-in-picture mode, the sub screen turns black
	without displaying any image.
• No sound.	• Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma television and the device that supports the HDMI
	Control functions. (See page 66.)
	• Check if you have entered the settings properly for “HDMI Control Setting”. (See page 68.)
	• Check if you have an HDMI controlled AV system connected to one HDMI terminal and the recorder or player
	connected to another HDMI terminal on the plasma television. When connected this way, audio out from the
	recorder/player does not go through the plasma television SPDIF terminal resulting in no sound to the AV system.
	When using an AV system and recorder or player, be sure to connect the recorder or player to the AV system input
	terminal.

•An error message “The device cannot be operated. Please check the connection.” appears.

•Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma television and the device that supports the HDMI Control functions. (See page 66.)
