Care of the screen
Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the
screen permanently. And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment.
Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen).
Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen.
When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois
soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible.Their long
time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.
Poor Picture
• Have you selected the correct TV system in the manual installation menu?
• Is your TV or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc?
• Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve the
picture quality by changing the direction of the aerial.
• Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation,
Manual installation, p. 6.
• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment?
Select Factory settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 7.

VGA cables to the display, the power cables.)

Tips
Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen
A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to
remain on the screen.This is called phosphor burn in.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the
screen.
Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing):
•
TV and DVD menus
: listings of DVD disk content;
•
Black bars
: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended to change to a picture format
so that the picture fills the entire screen;
•
PIP and Multipip
: do not view for long periods of time using the PIP function or Multipip function;
•
TV channel logo
: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause
uneven aging of the screen;
•
Stock market stickers
: presented at the bottom of the TV screen;
•
Shopping channel logos and pricing displays
: bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the TV
screen.
Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static
images or characters, etc.
Notes:
- reduce contrast and brightness when viewing
- once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.
