Dynamic - Gives a vivid picture with better contrast when viewing in
a brightly lit room.
Theater - Gives a rich, film-like look to video when viewing in a
dimly lit room.
Game - Used for when you are playing video games connected to
your TV.
Press the VIDEO STATUS button
By every press of the VIDEO STATUS button, you change the mode.

in an extremely bright room, it is recommended to change the VIDEO STATUS setting to
standard, theater or game. Doing so will reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the
life of the PDP.

the back of the TV instead of the remote control. It appears between INITIAL SETUP and
PICTURE ADJUST screen, and it has INPUT, VIDEO STATUS and ASPECT menus. Choose
VIDEO STATUS by pressing MENU

television rate of 30 frames-per-second.
Press the NATURAL CINEMA button
