Notes

Remember not to keep still pictures on the screen for extended lengths of time

Such still pictures cause after-images on the plasma screen if they are displayed for a long time. These after-images are not considered malfunctions and are not covered by the warranty.

To decrease the chance of after-images, a screen saver will be automatically activated after a few minutes if there is no signal and if there is no operation in AV mode. (p. 28)

The screen saver will be automatically deactivated when a signal is detected or an operation is executed.

Do not block the rear air vents

Blocked ventilation by curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fire or electrical shock.
