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 length 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 bright moving image for several minutes. However, displaying a still image
for excessively long periods of time may cause permanent display deterioration.
• Display the “Video Pattern” screen to help reduce after-image. (See page 63.)
• 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 displays.
• We recommend that you enjoy watching images in a full screen mode as much as possible. (See page 61.)
• We recommend you select “Auto” for “Brightness Sync.” in the Side Mask setting. This adjusts the
brightness of the gray side masks according to the brightness of the main image. (See page 62.)
