INFORMATION
• Receptacle
Make sure that the power cord’s grounding wire is grounded.
The plasma display comes with a 3-prong power plug; one prong is connected to the grounding wire. If you have only a 2-hole
receptacle, you will need to have it replaced. Contact your dealer for more information.
• Have the plasma display inspected and cleaned by your dealer at regular intervals.
• Do not display the same picture for a long time, because part of the screen may “burn-in” and create a residual image if the same picture
is displayed for an extended period of time. To prolong the life of the plasma display, we recommend the use of the “Screen Orbiter”
settings. (See P. E-23) When a residual image was created, reduce the residual image by using the “White screen” settings. Note that
there may also be cases when it can not be recovered completely. (See P. E-24)
• When the screen size is set to “Normal” and a picture was displayed for a long time, a residual image may be created at the boundary
with the part at which an image is not displayed. We recommend that you use a screen size other than “Normal”. (See P. E-13)
• High-precision technology has been used in the manufacture of the plasma display panel, in which the effective pixels exceeds 99.99%.
However, please be aware, that fewer than 0.01% of the pixels may be missing or remain constantly lit.
• Some models are fitted with a radiator fan to prevent the plasma display’s internal temperature from rising during operation. Be careful
of the air emitted by the radiator fan, as it may be hot.
• Contact your dealer when causing a bad influence to the plasma display and other audio-visual equipment mutually.
You may need to move your plasma display if it produces degraded pictures or noise due to electromagnetic radiation, or if the infrared
remote control does not function properly.
• Pictures may not be displayed properly if you connect a non-standard PC to the RGB input terminal. In this case, contact your dealer for
more information.
• The protective circuit, built into the display, automatically turns off the power if the display has a problem. In this case, you will see that
the power indicator lamp flashes red or green.
EnglishDeutschEspañolFrançaisItalianoPortuguês
Warning
If the power indicator lamp flashes red or green, this signifies that the display has developed a problem. When this happens, be sure to unplug from the
receptacle to prevent fire or electric shock. Then contact your dealer.
• It is important to install the plasma display in a location close to a receptacle, and where the emergency stop button can be easily
reached.

INSTALLATION
(cm)
(cm)
• To prevent the plasma display’s internal components from overheating, make sure that the plasma display is installed in a well-ventilated
location.
• Be sure to use the optional stand, wall-mounting unit or the other mounting unit when installing the plasma display. Also, be sure that your
dealer performs the installation.
• See the appropriate instruction manual for additional information on the mounting hardware you select.
• To prevent an accident and ensure safety in the event of an earthquake, fix the plasma display securely into the position as described below.
• Use the diagram below to determine how much space is needed to ensure proper heat radiation. This is a minimum space requirement;
therefore, provide at least as much space as indicated below.
* Make sure that the plasma display is installed in a location where the temperature can be maintained between 0°C and 40°C (between
32°F and 104°F)
* Never attempt to tilt the plasma display sideways or backward.
* To prevent the power cord and other cables from being accidentally pulled, make sure that they run along the wall or through corners.
* To prevent accidents and ensure safety in the event of an earthquake, secure the plasma display to prevent it from tipping over.

ATTACHING THE FERRITE CORES
• The ferrite cores are used to reduce noise. Attach them correctly as shown in the following illustrations.
• Be sure to turn off power of the plasma display and external equipment before making any connections.
• Carefully check the terminals for position and type before making any connections.
• Loose connectors can result in picture or color problems. Make sure that all connectors are securely inserted into their terminals.
2 large ferrite cores
When connecting the cord to the power input terminal, RS232C input
terminal, attach one of these ferrite cores to the cord and the cable near
the terminal.
2 small ferrite cores
When connecting a cable to the external speaker output terminal attach
one of these ferrite cores to the cable near the terminal.
