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.
How to clean the cabinet of the monitor
Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and control panel of the monitor. When excessively soiled dilute a neutral detergent in water, wet and
wring out the soft cloth and afterward wipe with a dry soft cloth.
Never use acid/alkaline detergent, alcoholic detergent, abrasive cleaner, powder soap, OA cleaner, car wax, glass cleaner, etc. especially
because they would cause discoloration, scratches or cracks.

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.
[Fig. A]
[Fig. a]
[Fig. B]
* 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.
[Fig. b]
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.

[An example of connecting audio visual devices]
• AV1 SCART applies to composite/S-video, and AV2 and AV3 SCART apply to composite/RGB.
• If a component input terminal and a composite input terminal of AV4 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 AV5 (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 ~ AV5 input that is displayed on the screen at the time.
• Set-Top Box is only for an AV1 input. (Tuner output signal is available only for AV1.)
• Secure connecting cables to the stand with the provided clamp.
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 analog audio, when connecting with DVI-HDMI transformation connector, use analog audio terminal for AV4 input.
