Wall

• When mounting the Plasmavision vertically , make sure that the power lamp is at the lower right.

Notes

• Do not display the same picture (pattern) continuously for a long time. Doing so raises the brightness of the picture and may
cause after-images.

• Looking at the picture continuously for a long time can tire the eyes. View the display from a reasonable distance (about three
times the length of the screen).

∗

If something is wrong with the Plasmavision internally, the built-in protection circuit will cut the power automatically. If so, the
power lamp will blink in red, indicating a malfunction.

• If the power lamp is blinking red, it is warning that something is wrong with the Plasmavision. There is a danger of fire or
electrical shock, so be certain to unplug the power cord and contact your product dealer. (See P44)

• The plasma display panel has been built using extremely precise and sophisticated technologies. More than 99.99% of its
pixels are effective. However, a minute number of pixels are missing or constantly lit.

• Do not install the Plasmavision where there will be interference between it and other AV equipment. (If interference from
electromagnetic waves causes jumbled images, noise or malfunctioning of the infrared remote control, change the installation
location.)

• When the display is installed vertically, only still images appears.

PREVENTING EQUIPMENT FROM FALLING

To prevent accidents and to ensure safety during disasters such as earthquakes, take precautions to ensure
that the equipment cannot topple over.

ATTACHING TO WALL OR COLUMN

• Remove the display cover from both sides. Then, for both left and right sides, use screw A (10 mm) to attach
bracket A to the screw hole (highest of the five holes on the side).

• For both left and right sides, use screw B (20 mm) to attach bracket B to the wall. Then tie brackets A and B with
a strong rope so that the display panel does not topple over .

• This arrangement is stable when the rope is horizontal or pulled downward.
