01Important user information

Fan noise

The rotation speed of the cooling fan motor increases when the ambient temperature of the plasma television becomes high. You may hear the sound of the fan motor at that time.

To use this product for a long period of time

The Energy Save function can maintain efficiency of the screen for a long period of time. Setting the Energy Save function to “Mode 1” is recommended in order to maintain the efficiency of the screen for a long period of time.

Caution

Panel sticking and after-image lag

Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two cases.

After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load

When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for more than one minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still images and the time they had been displayed.

After-image (lag image) due to burning

Avoid displaying the same image on the plasma television continuously over a long period of time.

If the same image is displayed continuously for a long period, or for shorter periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent materials. Such images may become less noticeable if moving images are later displayed, but they will not disappear completely.

Note

•To prevent damage from screen burning this plasma television will automatically - after a display time of 5 to 10 minutes - turn off those still images generated by the system itself: the Home Gallery function and Graphical User Interface elements such as HOME MENU.

•To prevent screen burning, the display position is automatically changed imperceptibly when watching plasma television (see Orbiter on page 40).

Preventing damage from screen burning

•We recommend that you enjoy watching images displayed in full screen, except when doing so may result in copyright infringement (see page 38).

•Set the Side Mask detection function to “On”, the High Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side masks will be detected and the side masks will be added automatically or the image displayed in full screen, leading to more effective countermeasures taken for the screen burning (see Detecting side masks on page 39).
