Welcome
Note on the plasma screen (Xelos A 42)
The TV set with plasma screen you have purchased meets the highest quality requirements and has been tested for pixel errors. Despite the utmost caution in production of the displays, it cannot be totally ruled out that some of the pixels might be defective for technological reasons. Please understand that such effects cannot be considered a unit defect as defined by the warranty as long as they are within the limits specified.
For plasma screens, the emission of light decreases the longer the unit is used.
Plasma screens work by using phosphor. In certain operating conditions, this technology may facilitate image burns. These operating conditions include:
•Lengthy, continuous display of a freeze frame (>10 minutes).
•Constant display of the same background.
•Use of a format that does not entirely fill the screen (such as 4:3) for a longer period of time.
Once an image is burnt into the display, it is usually not possible to remedy the problem; this situation is neither covered by the warranty nor by the guarantee. To avoid or reduce image burns on your screen, please follow these instructions and recommendations:
•During the first 100 hours of operation, you should display moving pictures for the most part or freeze frames that change frequently; these images are to fill the entire screen.
•Use your screen in a full screen format (16:9).
•If you use the screen as a PC monitor, always activate the screen saver.
•Always switch off the TV set when not in use.
•Reduce contrast and brightness as much as possible.
The “DRM” function (Digital Refresh Mode), which can be called in this set, may be able to eliminate or reduce minor visible effects.
Any effects resulting from an excessively long display of a freeze frame cannot be reversed using the “DRM” function.
Cleaning
Use only a soft, clean, damp cloth to clean the TV set, the screen and remote control (do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents).
