Troubleshooting
Burn-in mode
This mode displays single colour raster test patterns in turn. These signals are from the built-in generator of the panel. So it can be presumed that the panel has a problem when the Burn-in mode screen is abnormal.
To activeate burn-in mode, use the remote control with the set turned on.
Press the “MENU”, “recall”, “9”, “OK” in turn for less than 2 seconds.
The set turns on with a single colour raster and [BURN IN: ON] displayed in the OSD. To escape from this mode, press the “MENU”, “recall”, “9”, “OK” in turn for less than 2 seconds.
