Normal: If image sticking is never a problem, ISM is not necessary - set to Normal.

Orbiter: Orbiter may help prevent ghost images. However, it is best not to allow any fixed image to remain on the screen. To avoid a ghost image on the screen, the image will move every 2 min- utes.

Color Wash: The color block with the screen moved a little and the white pat- tern are alternately displayed. It is diffi- cult to see the after image on all colors. Once it has been corrected it will not be visible in any color.

White Wash: White Wash removes ghost images from the screen. Use spar- ingly. Watch the TV normally for a while before using this feature to see if the ghost image disappears on its own.

!NOTE

G An excessive ghosted image may be impossible to clear entirely with White Wash. To return to nor- mal viewing, press the any button.
