Note on image retention

The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as greyed-out images. Tips to prevent such image retention are:

• Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-contrast images, such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long.

• Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.

• Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.

How to clean the plasma screen panel of the monitor

Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. To prevent scratching or damaging the plasma screen face, do not knock or rub the surface with sharp or hard objects. Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

About the Symbols (continued)

IMAGE RETENTION OF PLASMA DISPLAY

There are different characteristics that result in panel image retention depending on how the plasma display is used. Situations and effective usage methods related to ghosting are provided below.

Image retention characteristics of a plasma display

The image retention phenomenon of a plasma panel occurs due to partial phosphor degradation arising from partial character and figure display.

For example, when the character image as shown in Fig. A at the right is continuously displayed for a long period of time, the only part of the phosphor (Red, Green, Blue) that will degrade will be the colour of the applicable character display portion. Consequently, when a white image is displayed on the entire screen as shown in Fig. a, the character marks displayed up to that time will become a colour difference visible to the eye, but the phosphor will never burn.

■ The degree of image retention is proportional to the brightness of the characters and figures displayed as well as the display time.

• The tendency of the phosphor is to degrade more the brighter the characters and figures are displayed. When images of figures with different levels of brightness, as shown in Fig. B, are continuously displayed for a long period of time, it becomes easier for image marks at locations when the brighter figures are displayed to be noticeable.

* The image retention images in this document are exaggerated for the purpose of explanation. The actual manner in which the image retention

is seen differs depending on the operation time and brightness.

Methods to Reduce the Occurrence of Image Retention

• Lower the Contrast and Brightness settings of the plasma display as much as possible. A function is provided in the display that controls the brightness of the screen to reduce degradation of the panel. Using this function makes it possible to reduce image retention. (Refer to Panel Life (Extend 1.or Extend 2) shown on .)

• Set the plasma monitor to an “Screen Wipe” or “Luminance Manager” display. The occurrence of image retention when displaying images of identical patterns, such as static images, for long periods of time can be reduced by displaying a completely white screen for about 1 ~ 2 hours after terminating the display. Using Luminance Manager function works to reduce image retention when displaying images on the four corners, such as TV station logos and clock display. (Settings can be made using Screen Wipe and Luminance Manager from Function MENU shown on .)

• Using in combination with moving images Since the degradation of the fluorescent material progresses comparatively uniform for moving images, the occurrence of partial image retention can be controlled. We recommend to use in combination with moving images such as a DVD. * Please be careful since image retention will occur if display is left in a two screen display state for a long period of time. * Television broadcasts include images displayed for long periods of time in which the left and right or top and bottom of the image are cut

and broadcast station name or time are displayed for a long period of time at the same portion of the screen. Image retention in these portions can be expected to occur, so please be aware.

Notes

About screen defects

• High precision technology is used in the making of plasma panels but there may be dark spots (points that do not illuminate) and bright

spots (points that are too bright) in some cases. These do not indicate a malfunction.

About residual images

• In some cases, residual images may remain after the short-term display of still images and another image is displayed, but these will

disappear and return to normalcy. This is not a malfunction.

About the panel screen

• Plasma displays display images by means of electrical discharges inside the panel. Because of this, the temperature of the panel surface

may rise in some cases. Also, plasma displays are made of finely processed glass. A reinforced glass filter is installed over the panel surface but avoid strong impact because there is still danger of glass breakage.

About the power swivel

• Do not put hands or faces close to the monitor whilst operating the swivel function. It could cause a physical injury. Use special caution in

households where children are present. (Refer to Power Swivel shown on .)

COMMON INTERFACE

HDMI *

• AV1 SCART applies to composite/S-video, and AV2 SCART applies to composite/RGB.

• If a component input terminal and a composite input terminal of AV3 connect to the monitor at the same time, component input would govern.

• If video equipment with an S video output terminal is used, cabling by the S video cable is recommended to provide finer video quality. (If an S video input terminal and a video input terminal of AV4 (side input) connect to the monitor at the same time, S video input would govern.)

• If the OUTPUT (Monitor) terminal is connected to an external monitor with a 75 Ohm terminal, it is possible to view the same image as on the main unit. But it is possible to monitor only the composite video signal from AV1 ~ AV4 input that is displayed on the screen at the time.

• Whilst watching TV or DTT broadcasting, it is possible to switch between TV and DTT from AV1. At the time, SCART OUTPUT in Setup menu need to be set to TV or DTT. Refer to .

• Secure connecting cables to the stand with the provided clamp.

Common Interface*

• Common interface allows you to receive Pay TV service with detachable modules.

• Inserting the common interface module:

1. Turn off the main power.

2. Insert the module all the way into the slot on the rear panel.

HDMI*

• HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface based on DVI (Digital Visual Interface), which is an added function for audiovideo equipment.

– It does not have degradation by transmission since it is digital. – With only one cable, it is possible to transmit both picture signals and audio signals.

• In case of using analogue audio, when connecting with DVI-HDMI transformation connector, use analogue audio terminal for AV3 input.
