This highly digitalised device offers optimum picture and sound quality.
The essential requirements are a perfectly functioning antenna system and a
high-quality antenna cable.
For this reason, avoid cable loops near the device.
Plasma screens operate using florescent materials. This technology can suffer
sticking effects under certain operating conditions. These include:
– Prolonged display of a freeze-frame
– Constant display of the same background
– Use of a picture format (such as 4:3) which does not fill the screen.
Once these sticking effects occur, they cannot normally be reversed.
To avoid sticking effects please note:
– During the first 100 operating hours, ensure that the television displays mostly
moving pictures or frequently changing stills which fill the screen
– Use a picture format which fills the screen (16:9)
– Always activate the screensaver when using a PC
– Decrease the contrast and brightness as much as possible
– Switch off the device when it is not in use
If a freeze-frame is on the plasma screen for a very long time (several hours), it
is possible that this will be visible as a ghosting effect for some time when you
switch to another channel. However, after a certain amount of time this ghosting
disappears again.
This is caused by a type of memory effect. In order to prevent this effect,
we recommend activating the screen saver when using a PC.
After a lengthy period without use (longer than one year) a temporary colour
discrepancy is possible in some circumstances.
This effect is normal for plasma screens. After a while these colour discrepancies
disappear again.
A plasma screen is made up of around 1.2 million colour pixels.
Within the industrial standard tolerance, a very small number of pixels (0.001%)
can be defective. This is not regarded as a device defect within the warranty.
The plasma screen functions with inert gases and air pressure.
At 2000 m above sea-level or higher, the picture can become unstable and the
picture quality is reduced. However, when the device is returned to below
2000 m above sea level, this effect disappears and the device functions perfectly.
