Precautions when using Art mode
Motion Sensor may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.

· The motion sensor is located at the bottom of the TV. Do not block the sensor at the front of the TV. The motion sensor as well as the brightness and colour tone of the screen can be affected.

· Art mode uses algorithms to minimise image burn-in that can be caused by displaying still images on the screen for long periods of time.

· The performance of the sensor may vary depending on the TV installation and operating environment.

­ The screen brightness and colour tone may be affected depending on the colour of the floor on which the TV stands.

­ In an environment where special light sources other than standard light sources (halogen, fluorescent) are used, the sensor’s motion recognition performance may vary depending on the positions, types, and number of the light sources.

­ If the area around the TV is too dark or bright, the screen brightness may be limited or the sensor may not work normally.

­ If the TV is installed too high or too low, the sensor may not work normally.

­ The motion sensor may sense motion from a flashing LED, a pet, a car moving outside the window, or other occurrence and start operating.

· Depending on the Auto Power Off function settings, the TV may turn off when there is no user input in Art mode,

such as inputs from the remote control (
