Avoid burn-in as follows. IMAGE SHIFT The picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down and to the left and right at regular intervals. In order to prevent burn-in, set this function to FAST or STD. (Refer to page 42.
Warnings If Burn-in has occurred If burn-in occurs, try the BURN-IN IMAGE REDUCER function (page 52). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable. Note: Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely. Point defects PDPs use collections of fine pixels to display images.
