These functions prevent the occurrence of an “image retention” on \
the display when turned ON.
 WOBBLING:   Automatically shifts the display image (therefore unnoticeable to the e\
ye) to prevent image retention of 
sharper contour of image.
            ON1:   Shifts the image every 30 seconds.
            ON2:   Shifts the image at a dot level pitch depending on screen-detection.
 PEAK LIMIT:   Suppresses image contrast (peak brightness).
             Note: 
When a still picture is viewed for an extended time, the screen may beco\
me slightly darker. (see page 45)
Reduces screen image retention
SIDE BAR ADJUST
Do not display a picture in 4:3 mode for an extended period, 
as this can cause an image retention to remain on the side 
bars on either side of the display field.
To reduce the risk of such an image retention, illuminate the 
side bars.
This function may be applicable to the non-picture area.
Notes: 
To reduce the occurrence of image retention, set the “SIDE BAR ADJUST” to “BRIGHT”.
The side bar may flash (alternate black/white) depending on the pictur\
e being shown on the screen. Using Cinema 
mode will reduce such flashing.
