Symptoms
After-images appear
CAUTION:
Check
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent
after-image to remain on the Plasma TV .
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images
displayed in 4:3 mode.
With no signal present, and without any user operation, the Panasonic screensaver will
appear automatically after 2 minutes to prevent image retention.
During DVB teletext or radio service, the level of the contrast can be set to decrease automatically
to prevent image retention.
Note:
The permanent after-image on the Plasma TV resulting from fixed image use is not an operating
defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty .
This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.

Analogue and Digital television – what are they?
Analogue transmission is the system that has been used for many years for broadcasting television programmes. With continuous
improvements in technology it is now possible to transmit programmes in a digital format, allowing clearer pictures, more stations and
other services to be displayed on screen. Digital television is provided in three different ways; it can be sent along a cable connection
direct to your house, broadcast from a satellite, or broadcast using traditional land based (terrestrial) transmitters. The first two options
require you to have an extra “set top box” decoder and in the case of satellite, a receiving dish mounted outdoors. While allowing you
to receive traditional analogue transmissions in the usual way , this television can also receive terrestrial digital services using an
integrated
(Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder . This allows you to enjoy the new era of digital terrestrial television, including
interactive services, without the need for a “set top box” or satellite dish – an adequate roof or loft mounted antenna is all you need.
