    Published on 2016-12-29

    The latest software solves the issues below:

    1. Remove “Subtitle language” from Quick Access menu which can be activated by “option” button in Remote control.
    2. The set is switched OFF/shut down by itself after a few hours turning ON.
    3. Plasma TV screen is still glowing for long hours after set is turned OFF.
    4. No picture on one of the HDMI input when two HDMI inputs are connected from separate sources.
    5. Impossible to switch OFF Ambi light when exit from Setting Assistant DEMO mode.
    6. Dots are visible in certain brightness and contrast level in the sets with Ambilight feature (regardless of Ambilight turn ON or OFF).
    7. Preferred location “Shop” mode (TV Menu under Installation/Preferences/Location) is renamed as “Retail Store”.
    8. Improvement on “no picture but sound OK “when the set turn ON. (Picture comes back after hard reset.)
    9. To solve the HDMI picture-freeze & image retention issue.
    10. To solve the red vertical bars across the screen.
    11. To put the HDMI sources to Natural Mode settings if the users set the TV to Shop Mode.
