PANEL.
2. Press x or • to select your desired level of darkness.
(1- Black, 2- Dark Gray or 3- Gray).

NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE
EFFECTS ON PLASMA DISPLAY
Avoid displaying stationary images on
your Plasma display for extended periods
of time. Fixed (non-moving) images
(including, but not limited to, closed
captions, video game patterns, TV station
logos, stock tickers, and websites) and
special formats that do not use the entire
screen, can become permanently
ingrained in the Plasma display and cause
subtle, but permanent, ghost images.
This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.
See pages 4 and 5 for details.
