Important
• The "Mode 1" or "Mode 2" setting prevents uneven wear on 4:3
content and side masks and can reduce the possibility of image
retention.

or "Off" when "Off" is selected in "Auto Size".
• The Side Mask detection does not operate on 4:3 content
displayed in SD signals.
• "Auto" will appear on the InfoBanner when this function is on.
• Set the Side Mask detection function to "Mode 1" or "Mode 2"
the High Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side
masks will be detected and the side masks will be added
automatically or the image displayed in full screen, leading to
more effective countermeasures taken for the screen burning.
• Detection errors may occur depending on the HD contents. In
case a detection error occurs, manually change the screen size
to the desired size.
