Welcome
Note on the plasma screen (Xelos A 42 and Modus L 42)
IMPORTANT!
PLASMA SCREEN TECHNOLOGY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE DISPLAY OF FIXED IMAGES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
A fixed image displayed for an extended period can cause permanent “image retention” to appear on your Plasma screen.
Examples of fixed images include logos, video games, computer images, teletext, interactive applications and images displayed in 4:3 mode etc. If using such applications it is advised to reduce the “Contrast” setting to minimise the risk of image retention. It is recommended that these images are not displayed for long periods.
Note: Permanent “image retention” on a Plasma TV resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the warranty.
You will be reminded of this warning through an on screen message after switch on. It will not appear if it is deactivated in the menu. To do this press “Menu“ followed by selection of “Settings“ – “Miscellaneous“
–“Automatic Info.“ then finally select “No“, alternatively it will automatically stop appearing after the menu has been entered twenty times.
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 not light up 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 by the standard.
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 picture (>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 pictures that change frequently; these images are to fill the entire screen.
•Use your screen in a
•If you use the screen as a PC monitor, always activate the screen saver.
•Switch the TV set off when it is not being used.
•Reduce the 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.
Call up the Index using the INFO button on the remote control, select “DRM (Digital Refresh Mode)“ and start the Refresh mode by pressing the OK button. Al- ternating
Any effects resulting from an excessively long display of a freeze frame cannot be reversed using the “DRM“ function.
