Safety Precautions / Maintenance
WARNING
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 in which
neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, 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 fi ngernails 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.
Maintenance
Setup
Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable
surfaces.
• The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over.
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 fi re or
electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma
Display, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
• Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat,
which can cause fi re or damage to the Plasma Display.

which could cause fi re. If the plug is damaged or the
wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
• Doing so may cause electric shocks.
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 modifi cations, 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 fi re or electric shock.
If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at
an Authorized Service Center.
If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period
of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
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 fi re 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 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.
• A short may occur, which could cause fi re. Contact an

No remote control operations can be performed. Check whether the batteries have discharged completely and, if they have not, whether they
were inserted properly.
Check whether the remote control sensor is exposed to an outdoor light or a strong fl uorescent
light.
Check whether the remote control designed specifi cally for use with the unit is being used.
(The unit cannot be operated by any other remote control.)
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
very slight contractions in response to changes in the room temperature. There are no adverse
effects on the performance or other aspects.
The top or bottom of the picture on the screen is cut
off when I use the zoom function.
Adjust the position of the picture on the screen.
Areas at the top and bottom of the screen where
the image is missing appear when I use the zoom
function.
When using a video software program (such as a cinema size program) with a screen wider
than one in the 16:9 mode, blank areas separate from the images are formed at the top and
bottom of the screen.
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.
Plasma Display panel
Symptoms Check
The screen darkens slightly when bright pictures with
minimal movements are shown.
The screen will darken slightly when photos, still images of a computer or other pictures with
minimal movements are shown for an extended period. This is done to reduce image retention
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 fl icker. Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the panel, the edges may appear to fl icker
in the fast-moving parts of the images: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
The brightness on both sides of images in 4:3 mode
changes.
When viewing the side panels at the “BRIGHT” or “MID” setting, the brightness on both sides
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.
Image retention appears
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent
image retention to remain on the Plasma Display.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images
displayed in 4:3 mode.
Note:
The permanent image retention on the Plasma Display resulting from fi xed image use is not
an operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.
This product is not designed to display fi xed images for extended periods of time.
Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit. The display unit is fi tted 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.
