About Permanent after-image
• Due to the characteristics of a plasma screen, if the same image is displayed for an
extended period of time, permanent after-image (image retention) in part of the screen
may result. As a result of accumulative effect, brightness deterioration results.
To prevent permanent after-image, it is recommended not to display the same image for
an extended period of time, or in 14:9 or 4:3 mode (see page 20). If retention occurs,
display a moving picture like a video movie. This may help to reduce minor
permanent after-image. But it cannot be removed entirely once it has occurred. If the same static picture is
displayed frequently, it is recommended to decrease “Brightness,” or to adjust the Long life setting (see page
31).
About cabinet
• Do not spray volatile compounds such as insecticide on the cabinet.
This may cause a discoloration or damage the cabinet.
Some parts of the screen do not light up
• The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however
sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a sign
of a malfunction.
About infrared rays
• The plasma screen of this unit emits infrared rays in normal operation, and may influence some infrared
operated equipment by a use state although the measures of infrared ray (filter, etc.) are taken. Locate such
equipment carefully to prevent rays from the plasma screen causing any problems.
About Interference
• Plasma display may cause interference in image, sound, etc. of other electronic equipment that is easy to
receive electromagnetic waves (i.e. AM radios and video equipment) under certain installed condition. In
particular, it may affect electronic equipment beyond the residential unit where a plasma display TV is used.
About Static electricity
• If you touch the surface of the screen panel, you may feel a slight electric shock. This is harmless.
About using under the low temperature places
• If you use the TV in the room of 0°C or less, the picture brightness may vary until the plasma monitor warms up.
This is not a sign of a malfunction.
About disposal
• Dispose the TV depending on the related local rules or laws.
