Precautions
to
Protect
the
Screen
from
Damage
Image
retention
OLED
TV's are susceptible
to
image retention (burn-in) due
to
the
characteristics
of
the
materials used.
Image
retention
may occur
if
images are displayed in
the
same location on
the screen repeatedly or over extended periods
of
time.
This
is
not a malfunction
of
the
TV
. Avoid displaying images
that
may cause image retention.
The
following
are examples of images that
may cause image retention:
• Content
with
black
bars either on
the
top
and
bottom
and/or
the
left
and right sides
of
the
screen. (for example,
Letterboxed, 4:3 screen, Standard definition)
•
Static images such
as
photos.
• Video games
that
might
have static content in some part
of
the
screen.
•
On-screen menus, program guides, channel
logos
etc.
•
Static content from applications.
•
On-screen tickers, such
as
those used
for
news and
headlines.
To
reduce the risk
of
image retention:
•
Sony recommends
that
you turn
off
the
TV
normally
by
pressing
the
power
button
on
the
remote control or
the
TV
.
•
Fill
the screen by changing [Wide mode] to eliminate
the
black
bars. Select
[Wide
mode]
other than [Normal].
•

off
the
OSD
(On

the
DISPLAY

off
the menus from connected
equipment
. For details, refer

.
•
Avoid displaying static images with
bright
colors
(including white), clocks
or
logos on any portion
of
the
screen.
•
Set
the
picture settings based on the ambient conditions.
The Standard

that
often displays the station
logos, etc.
