Notes when mounting the Plasma Display on a wall
• When installing the unit on a wall, allow at least 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) clearance between the rear of the Plasma
Display and the wall. Clearance of less than 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) will obstruct the vents and may cause the interior
of the unit to overheat, resulting in damage to the unit.
• If the unit is to be mounted on the wall, contact the retailer where you purchased the Plasma Display for advice, and
have the equipment professionally installed. Incomplete or improper installation may cause injury to you and/or the
Plasma Display.
•Bracket holes: To attach a wall mounting bracket (not supplied) here, remove the screws.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Possible Adverse Effects on Plasma Screen: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the plasma screen for long
periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the plasma display panel and cause subtle but
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your plasma
display on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:
• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a
normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a
widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right sides of screen).
To avoid the engraining, we recommend that you use the screen saver function (see P.33).
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we disclaim any
responsibility for these symptoms.
• Plasma display panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology,
however sometimes parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots.
This is not a sign of a malfunction.
• Do not install the Plasma Display near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves.
Some equipment placed too near this unit may cause interference.
• Effect on infrared devices – There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared
cordless headphones.
