HOW TO USE ACCESSORIES
Cable clampers
Use the supplied cable clampers to bind the display’s signal or power cables. Use them as shown in the figure when mounting the display
on the wall, using the wall-mounting unit, or hanging it from the ceiling using the hanging unit.
When you run signal cables
downwards
When you run signal cables to the right
Connector cover
When you finish binding the cables using the cable clampers, you need to attach the
connector cover to the display.
To do this, use nippers to cut out a section of the connector cover such that the cables can
be pulled out through that section. Then attach the cover to the display.
Projections (to be fit into corresponding
sections on the display)
When attaching the connector cover, make sure that the upper and lower projections on
the cover fit properly into the corresponding sections on the display.
Information
Cables for connecting the display to external equipment are not supplied. Contact your dealer for more information on these products.

HANDY TIPS
• Images may become “burnt” into the screen phosphors if the screen is left on for extended periods. To ensure that the display has a
prolonged service life, be sure to use a screen saver. This will ensure the same image or pattern is not constantly displayed for long
periods. (See P. E-38–E-39.)
• The display’s plasma display panel, which is built for maximum precision, provides more than 99.99% effective pixels. You may find,
however, that some pixels constantly remain lit or dimmed.
• The display has a fan to prevent its internal temperature from rising.
The fan starts if the surrounding temperature or the internal temperature of the display exceeds a certain level. If the display is installed
improperly or installed in the wrong direction, the resulting internal temperature increase will cause the fan to operate.
• Be careful with the air delivered by the fan. It may be very hot.
• Contact your dealer if you find that the display does not seem to function properly when used with other audio-visual equipment.
You may need to move your display if it produces degraded images or noise due to electromagnetic radiation, or if the infrared remote
control does not function properly.
• Images may not be displayed properly if you connect a non-standard PC to the RGB input terminal. In this case, contact your dealer
for more information.
• The protective circuit, built into the display, automatically turns off the power if the display has a problem. In this case, you will see
that the power indicator lamp flashes red.
Warning
If the power indicator lamp flashes red, this signifies that the display has developed a problem. When this happens, be sure to remove the
power plug from the receptacle to prevent fire or electric shock. Then, check the display in accordance with the instructions given on P.
E-44, or contact your dealer.
• Viewing the screen constantly for extended periods can strain your eyes. Be sure to stay at a proper distance (at least 1.5 m or 5 feet)
from the screen and to look occasionally away it while working.
• Have the display inspected and cleaned by your dealer at regular intervals.

INSTALLATION
To prevent the display’s internal components from overheating, make sure that the display is installed in a well-ventilated location.
Be sure to use the (optionally available) stand, wall-mounting unit or the other unit when installing the display. Also, be also sure that
your dealer performs the actual installation.
See the appropriate instruction manual for more information on the installation hardware you select.
To ensure proper heat radiation, provide at least as much space around the display as shown below.
* Make sure that the display is installed in a location where the temperature can be maintained between 0°C and 40°C.
* Never attempt to tilt the display sideways or backward.
* To prevent the power and other cables from being accidentally pulled, make sure that they run along the wall or through corners.
* The display can be installed with either of its sides facing down.

Information
• You cannot select Auto mode when you are in Comp.video mode (video input mode).

use to switch to a mode that provides the optimum screen size.
* With some games, the zoom screen (with upper and lower unviewable areas) may be selected.
* With some images of standard size (i.e., 4 (frame width) x 3 (frame height)), the zoom screen may be selected if the upper and lower sections of
the image in a scene are extremely dark.
* Some images are designed such that the zoom screen is automatically selected as necessary. With some of these images, however, the screen size
may not be immediately switched over to the zoom screen if the first scene contains an extremely dark image.
Note
• A variety of image modes are available with this display. Remember that if you select a mode with an aspect ratio (ratio of frame width to frame
height) different from that of the TV program or video media, the images will appear differently than if you had selected a mode having the same
aspect ratio.
• Showing a movie or similar premium event at a different aspect ratio from its original one at any event site, restaurant, or bar for profit-making
purposes or for a public audience may constitute a copyright infringement.
For films, try to select a mode having the same aspect ratio as the original image; this enables the director’s original intentions to be preserved.
Reference
See P. E-28–E-29 for how to adjust the image size and position.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Precautions
Cleaning the Cabinet and Remote Control
Be sure to remove the power plug from the receptacle before
cleaning the display.
Use a soft cloth for cleaning.
If the cabinet or remote control is heavily stained, soak a soft cloth
in a mixture of water and detergent and squeeze it dry before
wiping off the stains. Use a soft, dry cloth for final cleaning.
Be sure not to clean the display using a cloth dampened with
volatile solvents, such as benzene or thinner. Such solvents can
harm the display’s cabinet, the filter at the screen front, and the
remote control. They can also cause paint to come off these
sections.
Cleaning the Screen
Clean the screen gently with a soft cloth.
The screen surface is fragile. Never attempt to clean it with a hard
material, press on it forcefully, or tap it.

• The display has a fan to maintain the temperature of internal components at a constant
level. This sound is produced by the fan as it rotates.
• Check whether your AV equipment is affected by interference from automobiles, trains,
high-voltage transmission lines, neon signs or other potential sources of interference.
• Check whether all image adjustments have been properly made.
(See “Adjusting Images” on P. E-26–E-27.)
• Improper screen position/size
• No sound from the built-in speakers
• No sound from external speakers
• Check whether screen position and size have been properly adjusted.
(See “Adjusting Screen Position and Size” on P. E-30–E-31.)
• Check whether you have set the display for use of internal speakers.
(See “Adjusting Sound” on P. E-28–E-29.)
• Check cables for disconnection.

the display’s internal components are
extremely hot.
