■Normal: If image sticking is never a problem, ISM is not necessary - set to Normal.
■Orbiter: Orbiter may help prevent ghost images. However, it is best not to allow any fixed image to remain on the screen. To avoid a ghost image on the screen, the image will move every 2 minutes.
■Inversion: Inversion will automatically invert the plasma display panel color every 30 minutes.
■White Wash: White Wash removes ghost images from the screen. Use sparingly. Watch the TV normally for a while before using this feature to see if the ghost image disappears on its own.
! NOTE
G An excessive ghosted image may be impossible to clear entirely with White Wash. To return to normal viewing, press the any button.
