This moves the picture around the screen in small amounts, at set
intervals, to reduce the panel image retention. This is where
stationary objects, such as screen logos, leave a slight image visible
after they should have disappeared.
Screen WipeOn60Min.
This is used to reduce the panel image retention that can occur with
stationary pictures by the white field signal. Select On (continuous
operation) or 60 Min. (time limit operation) and press the OK button.
Press the MENU or RETURN button on the remote control to return to
normal viewing.
Black Side PanelOff          On

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.
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 “Inverse” 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 reversed colour or completely white screen for about 1 ~ 2 hours after terminating the display.
(Settings can be made using Screen Wipe and Inverse of 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.

Symptoms That Seemingly Appear to be Failures
Make the checks suggested below depending on the symptoms observed.  If the symptoms remain uncorrected, contact your dealer.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Customer servicing can be hazardous.
WARNING
SymptomPoint to checkSee page
•  No picture with the power-indicating lamp
off.• Check the way the power cable is connected.
•  Press the power switch.
•  The message “No Sync. Signal” or “Power
Save” is displayed.
•  No picture with the power indicating lamp
lights in orange.
! No Sync. Signal
No sync signal is detected.
•  Check the way the signal cable is connected.
•  Make sure that the switch of the computer, imaging equipment ,
etc., is turned on.
•  Make sure the computer is not in the power-save mode.
•  Check to see if the input selection matches the connection
terminal.
•  The message “Invalid Scan Freq.” is
displayed.
! Invalid Scan Freq.
An input signal is not received normally.
•  Check to see if the input signal matches the monitor
specifications.
•  Check the way the signal cable is connected.
•  The power indicating lamp is normally lit but
no picture .•  Check the contrast and brightness settings (adjust them for higher
contrast and brightness).
•  Check the way the signal cable is connected.
•  The display image appears flowing
slantwise.
•  Text displayed across the screen appears
vertically streaked, with the characters in
vertical columns blurred.•  Adjust the dot clock frequency and phase.  (Adjust the dot clock
frequency first, the dot clock phase next.)
(RGB input)
•  Text displayed across the screen appears
blurred.
•  A fine pattern flickers when displayed on the
screen.•  Adjust the dot clock phase for the clearest viewing.
(RGB input)
•  The remote control does not work.•  Check to see if the batteries are loaded in the remote control in
opposite direction.
•  Check to see if the batteries in the remote control are OK.

SymptomPoint to checkSee page
•  The temperature of the display panel surface is high.•  The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the
discharge of internal radiation. In some cases, this may cause the
temperature of the panel surface to increase. Please note that this
is not a malfunction.
-
•  There are locations on the screen that are different from the
periphery (*).
*Points that do not light, points with brightness different
from that of the periphery, points with color different from
that of the periphery, etc.•  High-precision technology is used to manufacture the plasma
display panel, However in some cases, there are minor defects in
some parts of the screen. Please note that this is not a
malfunction.
-
•  Vertical stripes appear, depending on the screen contents.•  The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the
discharge of internal radiation. Depending on the screen contents,
in rare cases this may cause vertical stripes to appear because of
failure to light. Please note that this is not a malfunction.
-
•  Coarse horizontal stripes appear in FULL display.•  Adjusting the Clock Phase will reduce the horizontal stripes.
(RGB input)
•  Flickering in the form of horizontal lines oscillating up and
down.
(PC INPUT MODE only)•  If the direct frequency from the computer is below 85Hz, try a
higher frequency (upper limit 85Hz). There may be a slight
attenuation of the current image.
•  Try turning the Vertical Filter On. For this case however, the
vertical resolution will drop.
•  The fan motor is noisy. (Fan application model only)•  Use the fan that controls the temperature in the main body to lower
the temperature of this unit. If the ambient air temperature
increases, the fan will start, the RPMs will increase and motor
noise will grow louder. This is not a malfunction though.
-
•  The top of the monitor heats up.•  When used for long periods of time, the top of the monitor may
heat up. This is not a malfunction.-
•  Text characters are displayed with varying thicknesses.•  The thicknesses of characters and lines may vary if images with a
vertical resolution greater than 768 lines are displayed; however,
this is not a malfunction.
