Precautions

Page 22

On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel) (KE-P42M1 only)

On image

• Please note that the PDP screen is made with high-precision te chnology. However, black poi nts or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear consta nt ly on the PD P scre en , a nd ir regular coloured stripes or brightness ma y appear on the PDP screen. This is not a malfunction.

• With exten s ive use of th is TV set in 4:3 mo de, the 4:3 screen area might become darker within a 16:9 pan el. To avoid this problem, the “Smart” picture mode sho uld be used (see page 37).

On image re t ention

• If the foll owing i mages a re dis play ed for an ext ended pe rio d time, i mage retent ion (a fte rimage ) in ar eas of the s creen may result due to the characte ristics of the Plasma Di s play Panel. – Black bars at the top and bottom that appea r w ith a wide video source (L et te rbox picture). – Black bars to the left and right that a ppe ar with a 4:3 video source (convent io nal TV broadcasts). – Video game sources – DVD on-screen menu displa ys – On-screen menus, channel numbers, etc., of connected equipment such as Set top box , C abl e modem, VCR, etc. The risk of this is higher if the set is in “Live” mode or has a high contrast setting. T hi s im age ca nnot be removed once burnt onto the screen. To avoid the risk of image retention do not leave the TV set operating on such a picture, or programme for a long time, use the “Screen Saver” fun ct io n (pa ge 39) or lower the contrast setting. Repea te d extended daily usage of the same image, or programme can also result in this occu r re nc e. IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY THE SONY WARRANTY.

• To reduce image retenti on, thi s TV se t ha s the “Screen Saver” function. The default setting of the “Orbit” function in “Screen Saver” is “On” (page 39).

• The “Screen Saver” function prevents and re duc es im age retention. For more det ails, see page 39.

On altitude

When used at an al titude o f greater t han 1900m or 6248 feet ( air pres sure less th an 800hPa) , this Plas ma Display Pa nel may ge nerate a low buzzing sound as a result of the difference between the interior and exterior air pressure of the panels. This is not considere d a defect and is not covered under by the Sony Warranty. Thi s buzzing sound is an inheren t characteristic of any Plasma Display Panel.
