Safety Precautions / Maintenance
WARNING
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
• Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Setup
Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable
surfaces.
• The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over.
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 damage 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.
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma
Display.
• If water spills onto the Plasma Display or foreign objects
get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could
result in fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get
inside the Plasma Display, please consult anAuthorized
Service Center.
If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period
of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
• Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat,
which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma
Display.
If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound),
or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the
Plasma Display, 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.
Transport only in upright position!
• Transporting the unit with its display panel facing
upright or downward may cause damage to the internal
circuitry.
If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space
of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8”
(6 cm) or more at the bottom, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at
the rear. If using some other setting-up method, leave a
space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, bottom, left
and right, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display,
if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet
becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug
immediately.
AC Power Supply Cord
• A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an
Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be
made.
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 120 V
AC, 50/60 Hz.
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.
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 surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water to which
a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the
surface is dry.
• Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may become
damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise
the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
• If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added
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. 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.

A cracking sound is sometimes heard from the unit. If there is nothing wrong with the picture or sound, this is the sound of the cabinet undergoing

I can hear sounds coming from inside the unit.
When the power is turned on, a sound of the display panel being driven may be heard: This is
normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
This Plasma Display uses special image processing. Hence a slight time lag may occur between image and audio, depending on the type of input
signal. However, this is not a malfunction.

minimal movements are shown for an extended period. This is done to reduce after-image
on the screen and the shortening of the screen’s service life: It is normal and not indicative of
malfunctioning.
It takes a while for the picture to appear.
The unit digitally processes the various signals in order to reproduce esthetically pleasing
images. As such, it sometimes takes a few moments for the picture to appear when the power
has been turned on, when the input has been switched or when the images for the main picture
and sub picture on the two screens are swapped.
The edges of the images flicker.
Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the panel, the edges may appear to flicker
in the fast-moving parts of the images: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.

may change depending on the kind of program shown: This is normal and not indicative of
malfunctioning.
Some parts of the screen do not light up.
The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology,
however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous
spots. This is not a malfunction.
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.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images
displayed in NORMAL mode.
Note:
The permanent after-image on the Plasma Display resulting from fixed image use is not an
operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.
This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.
After-images appear
Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit. The display unit is fitted with a cooling fan to dissipate heat generated during normal use. The
whirring sound is caused by rotation of the fan and is not a malfunction.
