DigiPure

The DigiPure function is a function which uses digital edge
compensation to ensure that every part of the picture has the
optimum edge compensation. This edge compensation
means that you are able to enjoy a clear, natural looking pic­ture. However, using the DigiPure function to a large extent
on a picture which contains a lot of noise may have the re­verse effect of amplifying the noise.
By setting the DigiPure function to AUTO, the TV will auto­matically adjust the effect level of the DigiPure function to
match the amount of noise in the picture and give the opti­mum edge compensation effect for the picture.

Digital VNR

The Digital VNR function is a function to reduce the noise
which is currently included in the picture. However, if the Dig­ital VNR effect is increased more than necessary, it has a det­rimental effect of reducing the sharpness of the picture. By
setting the Digital VNR function to AUTO, the TV will automat­ically adjust the effect level of the Digital VNR function to
match the amount of noise in the picture and give the opti­mum noise reduction effect for the picture.

Press to choose DIGITAL VNR.

Press to choose AUTO.

MIN:

The effect of the Digital VNR function is kept at the min­imum irrespective of the amount of noise in the picture.
When viewing an excellent quality picture which con­tains almost no noise, the picture sharpness may be im­proved by changing the Digital VNR setting from AUTO
to MIN. However, since the noise reduction effect be­comes very low, this is not suitable for a picture which
contains a lot of noise.

/

/

Press to choose AUTO.

MIN:

The effect of the DigiPure function is kept at the mini ­mum irrespective of the amount of noise in the picture.
When viewing a picture which contains a lot of noise,
the picture noise may become less noticeable by
changing the DigiPure setting from AUTO to MIN. How­ever, since the edge compensation effect becomes very
low, this is not suitable for an excellent quality picture
which contains almost no noise.

MAX:

The effect of the DigiPure function is kept at the maxi­mum irrespective of the amount of noise in the picture.
When viewing an excellent quality picture which con­tains almost no noise, the picture may be further im­proved to a clear, natural looking picture by chang ing
the DigiPure setting from AUTO to MAX. However,
since using the edge compensation at maximum may
have the reverse effect of amplifying the noise, MAX is
not suitable for a picture which contains a lot of noise.

Press .

This completes the setting.

Note:

• The DigiPure setting can be changed using the buttons
on the TV's front panel. Pressing the button for 5
seconds or longer causes the current DigiPure setting to
be displayed. Change the DigiPure setting while it is be­ing displayed using the - / + buttons.

MAX:

The effect of the Digital VNR function is kept at the

However, since using the noise reduction at maximum

Troubleshooting

The following are normal and are NOT malfunctions:

• When touching the picture tube surface, you might feel a slight charge of static electrici ty. This is because the picture tub e
contains static electricity; it does not affect the human body.

• The TV may emit a crackling sound due to a sudden change in temperature. There is no problem unless the picture or sound
is abnormal.

• When a still, bright image (of a w hite dress, for example) appears on the screen, th e image may be coloured. This proble m
occurs in all picture tubes, and as the bright image disappears, the colour also disappears.

• This TV is equipped with a microcomputer that may operate abnormally due to interference from external components. If this
happens, turn off the main power and disconnect the power cord from the AC socket. Then reconnect the power cord to the
AC socket and turn on the main power again.

• It takes a short period of time from the time an operation such as changing channels is performed until an image is displayed.
This is not a malfunction. This is the time required for the image to stabilize before it can be displayed.

• When viewing images from co mmercially available video software products, or videos from videotape s which have been re­corded improperly, the top of the image may be di storted . Th is is due to the condition of the vid eo si gnal, and not beca use of
malfunction.
