3. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,

stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

4. Do not block any of the ventilation openings.

5. Clean only with a dry cloth.

6. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type

plug. .A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and third grounding prong. The
wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. When the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet..

7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at

plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.

8. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

9. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the

manufacturer, or sold with the

objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

12. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these

materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For
disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities

Troubleshooting

Some parts of the

screen do not light up

After-images appear

DVD

DTV signal jumps from 0 to

100 and back.

The plasma TV 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 TV.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games,
computer images, and Teletext.
Note:
The permanent after-image on the Plasma TV 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.

•The signal is too weak to display a picture. Try to re-orient
the antenna to a suitable direction and auto-tune again.

No closed captioning seen when

the TV is connected to a set top

box.

•Press the CC button on the remote controller to switch off

the closed captioning. Then switch it on again.
