If the following error codes appear on the screen, check the corresponding items in the table.
• After-image lag. After displaying a still image or a very bright image for a certain period of time, if the screen is then switched to a
darker scene, the previous image may appear as an after-image.
This can be rectified by playing a rather bright moving image for several minutes. However, displaying a still image
for excessively long periods of time may cause permanent display deterioration.
To help eliminate after-image when it occurs, display the “Video Pattern” screen. (See page 40.)
• Brightness and color tone on both sides
differ from those in the center in 4:3 mode.
If images in 4:3 mode or letterbox images are displayed for long periods or for shorter periods over several days,
an after-image may remain due to burning. This is a characteristic of plasma televisions.
We recommend that you enjoy watching images in a full screen mode as much as possible. (See page 37.)
When watching images in 4:3 mode, we recommend you select “Auto” for the Side Mask setting. This adjusts the
brightness of the gray side masks according to the brightness of the main image. (See page 39.)
