Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using your PDP. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries,
keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine.
• Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your PDP.
• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
• Heed all warnings on the PDP and in the operating instructions.
• Follow all operating and use instructions.
• Unplug the PDP from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners.
• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions
can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
• Do not use the PDP where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath tubs,
sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
• Do not place the PDP on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
table, or floor where it can fall. A falling PDP can cause serious injury
to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the PDP. Follow the manufacturer's instructions
when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer. Move the PDP and cart with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart
unsteady and likely to overturn.
• Provide ventilation for the PDP. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it
from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the PDP on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the
PDP on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you've followed the
manufacturer's instructions for mounting.
• Operate your PDP only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this PDP is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walked on or pinched
by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
• Unplug the PDP from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm
or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to
lightning and power-line surges.
• Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines
or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.
• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points
or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the PDP.
• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the PDP, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and builtup static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
• Do not attempt to service the PDP yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug the
unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
- when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged
- if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit
- if the PDP has been exposed to rain or water
- if the PDP does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
- if the PDP has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
- when the PDP exhibits a distinct change in performance
• If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the PDP to normal.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this PDP, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the PDP is in a safe operating condition.
• The PDP can properly operate in a temperature range of 32~104°F(0~40°C) and 80% humidity.
Do not use in a hot and humid place.
• Before moving the PDP equipped with speakers, separate the speakers from the PDP. If you move the PDP
with the speakers attached, it may result in damage or injury.

Important Warranty Information
Regarding Television Format Viewing
User Instructions
Wide screen format PDP Displays (16:9,the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily
designed to view wide screen format full-motion video.The images displayed on them should primarily be
in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format,or expanded to fill the screen if your model offers this feature and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of the
total television viewing per week.
Additionally,viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game
displays,station logos,web sites or computer graphics and patterns,should be limited as described above
for all televisions. Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can
cause uneven aging of PDP Displays that leave subtle,but permanent burned-in
ghost images in the PDP picture.To avoid this,vary the programming and images,
and primarily display full screen moving images,not stationary patterns or dark bars.
On PDP models that offer picture sizing features,use these controls to view different formats as a full screen
picture.
Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven PDP aging as a
result of format selection and use,as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your AKAI limited
warranty.

Screen Image retention
Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP) on the plasma
display panel for more than several minutes as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is
also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, refer to page 40 of this manual to reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.
Cell Defect
The plasma display panel consists of fine cells. Although the panels are produced with more than 99.9
percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.
Altitude
The PDP will not operate normally at altitudes above 6500 ft.
Warranty
Warranty Period: Two years starting from the purchase of your PDP.
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Our adoption of the new VESAPlug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time consuming
setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system, without the usual
setup hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure itself for use with your
display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended Display Identification data (EDID)
using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols.

How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)
The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. However, the actual screens
on your PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your
particular video card. But even if your actual screens look different, the same, basic set-up information
will apply in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer or AKAI Dealer.)
On the windows screen, select in the following
sequence : Start ➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel.
When the control panel screen appears, click on
“Display” and a display dialog-box will appear.
Select the “Settings” tab in the display dialogbox.
The two key variables that apply to the PDP-PC
interface are “resolution” and “colors”.
The correct settings for these two variables are:
• Size (sometimes called “resolution”):
640 x 480 pixels.
• Color: “24-bit” color (might also be expressed as “16 million colors”)Shown at left is
a typical screen for “Display” dialog box.
If a vertical-frequency option exists on your
display settings dialog box, the correct value is
“60” or “60 Hz.” Otherwise, just click “OK”
and exit the dialog box.
Continued...
Notes:
Both screen position and size will vary, depending on the type of PC monitor and its resolution.
The table below shows all of the display modes that are supported:
• The interlace mode is not supported.
• The PDP operates abnormally if a non-standard video format is selected.
Notes:
• When this PDP is used as a PC display, 32-bit color is supported.
• Depending on the manufacturer, your PC display screen might appear different.
(and depending on your particular version of Windows).
Check your PC instruction book for information about connecting your PC to a PDP.

Viewing Closed Captions
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain
TV shows. These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreignlanguage translations. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television
programs, so home-recorded video tapes also provide closed captions. Most prerecorded commercial video tapes provide closed captions as well. Check for the
closed caption symbol in your television schedule and on the tape’s packaging: .
Note: The Caption feature does not work with DVD or DTV signals.

How to Set up Restrictions Using the “TV guidelines”
First, set up a personal identification number (PIN), and enable the V-Chip. (See previous section.)
Parental restrictions can be set up using either of two methods: The TV guidelines or the MPAA rating.
1
Press the Menu button. Move the joystick up or
down to select “Function”, then press the joystick
to enter.
2
Move the joystick up or down to select “V-Chip”,
then press the joystick to enter.
3
The message "Enter Pin" will appear. Enter your
4-digit PIN number.
4
The “V-chip” screen will appear.
Move the joystick up or down to select “TV Guidelines”, press the joystick to enter.
5
The “TV guidelines” screen will appear. Move the
joystick up or down to select one of the six agebased categories:
TV-Y Young children
TV-Y7 Children 7 and over
TV-G General audience
TV-PG Parental guidance
TV-14 Viewers 14 and over
TV-MA Mature audience
6
At this point, one of the TV-Ratings is selected.
Move the joystick to the right: Depending on your existing setup, a letter “U” or “B” will start
blinking.
(U= Unblocked, B= Blocked)
While the “U” or ”B” is blinking, move the joystick up or down to block or unblock the
category.
Move the joystick to the right to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected,
and no letters will blink.
To select a different TV-Rating, move the joystick up or down and then repeat the process.
Note 1: The TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA have additional options. See the next step to
change any of the following sub-ratings:
FV: Fantasy violence
D: Sexually Seggesive Dialog
L: Adult Language
S: Sexual situation
V: Violence
Note 2: The V-Chip will automatically block certain categories that are “more restrictive”.
For example, if you block “TV-Y” category, then TV-Y7 will automatically be blocked.
Similarly, if you block the TV-G category, then all the categories in the “young adult” group
will be blocked (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14 and TV-MA). The sub-ratings (D, L, S, V) work together
similarly. (See next section.)
7
How to set the FV, D, L, S and V sub-ratings.
First, select one of these TV-Ratings: TV-Y7, TV-PG, TV-14 or TV-MA (See Step 4, on
previous page).
Next, while the TV-Rating is selected, repeatedly move the joystick to the right.
This will cycle through the available sub-ratings (FV,L, S, D or V).
A blinking letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed for each sub-rating. While the “U” or “B” is
blinking, move the joystick up or down to change the sub-rating.
Move the joystick to the right to save the TV guidelines. A TV-Rating will be selected and no
letters will select. To select a different TV-Rating, move the joystick up or down and then
repeat the process.
Note: The V-chip will automatically block certain categories that are “More restrictive”.
For example, if you block “L” sub-rating in TV-PG, then the “L” sub-ratings in TV-14 and
TV-MA will automatically be blocked.
8
Press the Menu button to clear all the screens. (Or proceed to the next section, and set up
additional restrictions based on the MPAA codes).
Note
• Note: These categories consist of two separate groups: TV-Y and TV-Y7 (young children
through age 7), and TV-G through TV-MA (everybody else). The TV-Y and TV-Y7 categories
are colored blue.
The restrictions for these two groups work independently: If a household includes very young
children as well as young adults, the TV guidelines must be set up separately for each age
group. (See next step.)

How to Set up Restrictions using the MPAA Ratings: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17, X
The MPAA rating system uses the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) system, and its main application is
for movies. When the V-Chip lock is on, the TV will automatically block any programs that are coded with objectionable ratings (either MPAA or TV-Ratings).
1
Press the Menu button. Move the joystick up or
down to select “Function”, then press the joystick
to enter.
2
Move the joystick up or down to select “V-Chip”,
then press the joystick to enter.
3
The message "Enter Pin" will appear. Enter your
4-digit PIN number.
4
The “V-chip” screen will appear. Move the joystick down
to select “MPAA Rating,” press the joystick to enter.
5
The “MPAA rating” screen will appear. MPAA category.
Moving the joystick up or down will cycle through the
MPAA categories:
While a particular category is selected, move the joystick to the right to activate it.
A selected letter (“U” or “B”) will be displayed. Move the joystick up or down to select “U” or”B”.
Move the joystick to the right to save the settings.
Note: The V-Chip will automatically block any category that is “more restrictive.” For example,
if you block the “PG-13” category, then “R,” “NC-17,” and “X” will automatically be blocked also.
How to Reset the TV after the V-Chip Blocks a Channel (“Emergency Escape”)
If the TV is tuned to a restricted channel, the V-Chip will block it. The screen will go blank
and the following message will appear: “Excessive rating.”
To resume normal viewing, tune to a different channel using the number buttons.
Under certain conditions (depending on the rating of the local TV programs) the V-Chip might
lock out all the channels. In this case, use the V.Chip function for an “emergency escape”:
