Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma Display Monitor to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma

When using the Plasma Display Monitor
•
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display Monitor.
If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, 2 3

ventilation holes are blocked.
a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, bottom, left and right, and 3/4” (1.9 cm) or more at the rear.
AC Power Supply Cord
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display Monitor.
The Plasma Display Monitor is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Moving the Display with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric
shock.
•
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall
socket plate is loose, they should not be used.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
•
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
•
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty.
Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire.
Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
•
•
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug,
not the cable.
Do not make any modifications, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull
the power cable. Doing so may cause damages to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If
damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
Cleaning and maintenance
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
•
If the Plasma Display Monitor is not in use for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth to
remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth, of
the same type, until the surface is dry.
•
If problems occur during use
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with
volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the surface may be
adversely affected.
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the
Plasma Display Monitor, unplug the power cord immediately.
•
Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the
Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are
strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.
•
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth dry. Use this
cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma Display Monitor. If water
droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the
cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods
in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.
•
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display Monitor, if the Plasma Display Monitor is dropped, or if
the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
•
A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.
•
•
Note:
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to
remain on the Plasma Display Monitor.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

AUTO mode is designed to automatically adjust the
aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program
material. Certain 4:3 program material, such as stock
market data screens, may occasionally cause the image
size to change unexpectedly. When viewing such
programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT be set
to NORMAL.

Notes:
(1) Do not allow 4:3 mode to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on
the Plasma Display Panel.
(2) The S-VIDEO terminal on this set can detect specially encoded signals that are compatible with a wide screen monitor.
When a full image from the S-VIDEO terminal of specially encoded video is detected by the set, the screen size is
automatically set to FULL mode.
Notes:
(1) Adjustment details are memorized separately for different input signal formats (Adjustments for component signals
are memorized for 525i (480i), 625i (575i), 525p (480p), 1125i (1080i) and 750p (720p) each, and RGB/PC signals
are memorized for each frequency.)
(2) If a “Cue” or “Rew” signal from a VCR or DVD player is received, the picture position will shift up or down. This
picture position movement cannot be controlled by the PICTURE POS./SIZE function.
