Do not display any still part of the image
for a long period
In such cases the still part of the image remains dimly
on the screen (“image retention”). This is not considered
a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
● Typical still image parts:
• Still images shown continuously on the same area
(ex. channel number, channel logo, other logos or
title image, etc.)
• Still or moving pictures viewed
in 4:3 aspect ratio, etc.
• Video games
● To avoid image retention, the screen saver may
be activated (OLED logo moves) or the on-screen
message may move after a few minutes if no signals
are sent or no operations are performed.
● Set [Logo Luminance Control] to [Max] to avoid image
retention.
[eHELP] (Settings > Picture > Screen settings > Logo
Luminance Control)
● To avoid image retention, the screen may become
dim when the motionless image is displayed. This
is not a malfunction. The brightness of the screen
returns to the previous level when the active image is
displayed.
● Be sure to turn the TV off with the remote control to
perform the panel maintenance. During the panel
maintenance, LED turns to orange. (p. 22) The
maintenance works as necessary.
● Set aspect ratio to H-FILL for 4:3 image. For details,

Access point
■ About built-in wireless LAN / Bluetooth
● To use the built-in wireless LAN, using an access
point is recommended.
● To use the built-in wireless LAN in the access point
mode, up to 7 devices are connectable. But the
transfer rate will vary according to communication
environment or connected equipments.
● Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to any
wireless network (SSID*) for which you do not have
usage rights. Such networks may be listed as a result
of searches. However, using them may be regarded
as illegal access.
● Follow the instructions on the Access point setup
screen and configure the appropriate security
settings.
For more details on setting of Access point, please
refer to operating manual for the Access point.
● We recommend using 11n (5 GHz) for the wireless
system between the built-in wireless LAN and Access
point.
Communication is also possible with 11a, 11b, and
11g, but the communication speed may be slower.
● If the wireless system of the Access point is changed,
devices that could connect by wireless LAN may no
longer be able to connect.
● Data transmitted and received over radio waves may
be intercepted and monitored.
● Keep the TV away from the following devices as
much as possible:
Wireless LAN, microwaves, and other devices that
use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Otherwise, the TV
failures such as malfunction may occur due to the
radio wave interference.
● When noises occur due to the static electricity, etc.,
the TV might stop operating for the protection of the
devices. In this case, turn the TV Off with power On /
Off switch, then turn it On again.
* SSID is a name for identifying a particular wireless
network for transmission.
