User manual PIONEER PDP-508XG

[. . . ] To use your plasma television for a long period of time When characters, images or images of fixed patterns with very high luminance are displayed on a plasma television screen, even if displayed for a relatively short period of time, the image may remain on the screen due to the residual electric load of the panel. This after-image lagging can be eliminated gradually by displaying moving images in full screen. When images like those described above are displayed continuously for a long period of time or repeatedly, a difference occurs between the luminance of the continuously displayed image and that of other portions of the screen, resulting in the image remaining on the screen due to burning. Please note that if this burning occurs, it may be difficult to completely restore the screen to the state prior to burning.
