Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features
Using the blue screen function
When a TV is on but not receiving a signal, the screen typically 
displays a “snowy” image and the speakers transmit a “static” 
sound.
With the blue screen function set to On, the TV will 
automatically mute the sound and replace the snowy image 
with a solid blue screen until the TV receives a signal. Once a 
signal is received, the normal image and sound are restored.
