Important Considerations to Follow:
• General references
Please read the general considerations on safety and user’s manual in detail before connecting the plasma screen. Only by this way you can use all the functions safely and securely.
Keep the user’s manual as close to the device as possible to search for information. Follow the instructions on the device and in the user’s manual. Never let the children use display electrical devices unattended.
• Use
The plasma TV you have purchased has the highest quality standards possible in this business line. This plasma TV contains a display comprising of pixels. A pixel comprises of three elements (red, green and blue). Despite the fact that the highest quality check practices have been used during the manufacture of screens, some pixels or pixel elements may have small defects. These faults may occur as continuously lighted pixels, unlighted pixels or unbalanced pixels (flashing).
Therefore, these faults are not covered by guarantee. This is applicable so long as the total of all the faulty pixels or pixel elements do not exceed the 0.01% of the total number. The brightness and contrast of plasma screen decreases in time. Plasma screens are phosphorus based and in some operating conditions “Burning” effect may occur. This is actually the natural deterioration of phosphorus material. This is a common occurrence in plasma technology.
The operating conditions mentioned above are:
-displaying static images for long durations
-displaying the same background continuously
-using a format other than full screen (e.g. 4:3) for long durations.
When burning occurs, it is usually not correctable.
Please follow the below listed recommendations to avoid or decrease burning effect:
-For the first 100 hours of use, please use the animated pictures or constantly moving still pictures in full screen mode (slide show).
-Please use your plasma TV in full screen mode (16:9)
-In case the plasma screen is used as a PC monitor, please use animated pictures.
Always turn the screen off when not in use.
-Reduce contrast and brightness as far as possible.
-If possible, display the images with maximum color profundity and scale.
Certain situations may cause a buzzing sound in the electronics of the screen. This usually results from the fact that the grounded cables of the main electric supply are different. A method to solve this problem is inserting a filter between the aerial cable and input. These filters are available at all specialist commercial stores.
•Environmental Conditions
Never use the plasma screen in the environmental conditions different from the technical data. Different conditions endangers the device and may cause fire or fault.
Protect the plasma screen from humidity. This refers to high moisture, closeness to water, water drops and water splashes as well as rain. Do not put any container full of water (e.g. a vase) on the device.
Protect the device from heat. Keep away from flames, heating devices, ovens or continuous direct sunlight.
Protect the screen against heat accumulation. Do not cover the ventilation holes. In horizontal position, keep min.10 cm above and below ventilation holes to furniture and ceiling and 4 cm from the sides and the back. Do not cover the TV with cloth. The screen has been designed to be mounted to a wall.
•Mains connection
This product is Class I and must be connected to a mains socket with a protective earth. The mains input and the mains switch are located on the rear input panel, see page 14. for safe disconnection of the TV from the manis voltage, the mains switch is to be turned of and the mains plug is to be removed from the mains socket. Never use a damaged mains cable.

•Signal Inputs
Always switch off the plasma screen and signal supply before establishing any connections between two devices.
•Disorders
In case there is any damage in the mains lead or the device, remove the power lead from the socket immediately. Under no circumstances do you dismantle and/or repair the device by yourself. Instead, contact our Service Support Line or another professional workshop.
•Batteries
When swallowed, the batteries pose fatal danger. Therefore, you should keep the batteries away from the reach of little children. If a battery is swallowed, immediately seek medical assistance. Immediately remove the used up batteries from the remote control since they may leak and consequently cause damage.
The batteries supplied with the device should not be recharged or utilized in any other way, be damaged, thrown into fire or short circuited.
DISCONNECT THE TV COMPLETELY, SHUT OFF THE NETWORK OUTLET AND REMOVE THE MAINS LEAD.
Used up batteries should not be disposed of with the normal household waste. Batteries should be disposed of in waste collection points designed for this purpose.
•Cleaning and Maintenance
Switch off the device before cleaning and remove the mains lead from the socket. Wait for a few minutes for the capacitors in the device to discharge. Use a soft damp cloth for cleaning. You should avoid chemical solutions and cleaning agents, since they will damage the surfaces.
•The plasma screen creates internal high voltage for gas discharge. Power off during installation, maintenance and repair and disconnect the power cable from the socket. Wait for a few minutes for the capacitors in the device to discharge.
•In case foreign substances such as water, fluids, metal fragments, etc. enters into the device, immediately disconnect the mains lead. Never attempt to touch anything in the device with any object. There is the danger of electric shock or accident.
•If an odd smell is emitted or abnormal noises are heard from the device, immediately disconnect the mains lead. If no image is displayed in the screen after switching on or during use, do the same. In such a case, never attempt to continue operating the screen.
•In cases of long periods where the TV is not used, or during thunderstorms, disconnect the mains lead from the socket and remove the aerial connection.
•Never connect or disconnect the mains lead with wet hands. Never switch on the mains switch with wet hands.
•Only use the supplied mains lead. Protect it against any damages and do not make any modifications on it. Never use a damaged mains lead.
•The plasma screen has a glass surface. In case the device is exposed to overload (e.g. shake, vibration, twist or heat shock), the glass surface may get broken. Do not expose the glass surface to any pressure or shake. In case the glass gets broken, disconnect the mains lead and do not touch the glass with naked hands.
•When switched to stand-by mode, the plasma screen remains connected to the mains.
To cut the connection completely, you should switch the mains switch off, or pull out the mains lead from the socket.
•For ergonomic reasons, it is recommended that you avoid using red or blue fonts or symbols on dark backgrounds. Such an image may cause illegibility due to low contrast and tires the eyes early. Therefore, use high contrast images like black font on white background.
•Pay attention to loudspeaker output technical data during the connection of external speakers. Ensure that the loudspeakers are of the correct specification to prevent damage to them or to the internal amplifier.
•Now, the unnecessary packs and packaging sources are recyclable and must always be recycled.
•Place the cardboard vertically, bottom side on a firm ground. You may recognize the upper part from the direction of the arrows on the longitudinal side.
•Plasma screen may only be mounted on the vertical (upright) walls. Make sure that the screen is switched off and the mains lead and signal cable have been disconencted from their sockets. The background should be firm and of a structure to carry the load. If you have any doubt, contact your authorized sales or service department.

•Press a digit key or Program Up/Program Down key or the
PR+/PR+ or MENU key on the front panel of the television to turn the
7television on. Stand-by indicator turns
to green. The picture is displayed on the screen after a few seconds. To PR- switch the television to stand-by mode,
PR+ push the Stand-by button. Stand-by indicator turns to red.
•The Plasma screen is always connected to the mains supply in stand-by mode. To cut the connection completely, you should switch the mains switch off and disconnect the mains lead from the mains socket.
•The screen has an electric adaptor and it may be operated with a supply voltage of 230V AC and 50Hz.
Note 1: If there is no broadcast signal, your television will switch to stand-by mode in five minutes.
Note 2: If your remote control has a fault or its batteries have been used up, there are “MENU” “SOURCE”, “
PROG 
”, “
VOL 
” front panel buttons to operate the TV.
Batteries
To reveal the battery compartment, remove the back cover and make sure that you have inserted the batteries correctly.
The batteries suitable for this remote control are UM- 4, IEC R03 or AAA 1.5V.
Do not mix a used, old battery with a new battery or do not use mixed battery types.
The performance of the remote control will deteriorate from a distance farther than 8 metres or out of an angle of 30 degrees.
Operation Modes
ATTENTION
Note that at the beginning of use, the operation mode should be in full screen format setting especially in the first 100-150 operation hour (see: Displaying of the sub-menu, Picture Format). This prevents differences of brightness on picture areas.
Also, to prevent permanent shadows on the displayed picture, avoid displaying any still images in the first operation hours (computer mode, teletext pages, Photo CD images, etc.). If the plasma television is to be used as computer monitor, it is recommended that you use a screen saver.
Computer mode
For the best image, we recommend 848 x 480, 640 x 480 or 720 x 400 pixel resolution. 848x480 pixel resolution corresponds to the screen matrix and offers the best image. You can obtain the driver for this resolution from the Internet pages of well-known graphic card producers. Unlike the applications in CRT monitors, for a vibration free presentation on flat screens, it is not necessary to select high image reconditioning. 60Hz of reconditioning is recommended.
Video recorder mode
If your recorder offers Y/C (S-Video) format playback, it is recommended to use Y/C (S-Video) inputs to improve image quality. DVD player mode
For the best use, it is recommended to use RGB operation mode connectable to SCART 1 input. In case your player does not offer this operation mode, please use the Y/C (S Video) signal mode.
Image adherence
The manufacturer would like to state that during watching frozen pictures (e.g. computer playback) for long durations, the image remains still visible in full mask for a few minutes when a different source is played afterwards. This is known as “image adherence”. Please note this is normal operation and not a fault.
Video cable
To connect video signal, high quality 75 Ω coaxial cable should be used. A low-quality signal cable may cause distortions and shadows on the displayed picture as well as exceeding the permissible EMC level. For perfect and safe operation of the device, mechanical interlocks for single plug and outlet sockets are necessary.
