Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features

Using the blue screen function

When a TV is on but not receiving a signal, the screen typically displays a “snowy” image and the speakers transmit a “static” sound.

With the blue screen function set to On, the TV will automatically mute the sound and replace the snowy image with a solid blue screen until the TV receives a signal. Once a signal is received, the normal image and sound are restored.

To turn on the blue screen function:

1 Press Yand open the Function menu. 2 Press B or b to highlight Blue Screen. 3 Press C or c to select On.
