HANDY TIPS
• Viewing the screen constantly for extended periods can strain your eyes. Be sure to stay at a proper distance (at least 1.5 m or 5 feet (42”)/
1.9 m or 6.3 feet (50”)) from the screen and to look occasionally away while working.
• Have the display inspected and cleaned by your dealer at regular intervals.
• Pictures may become “burnt” into the screen phosphors if the screen is left on for extended periods. To ensure that the display has a
prolonged service life, be sure to use a screen orbiter, white screen. This will ensure the same picture or pattern is not constantly
displayed for long periods. (See P. E-31–E-32.)
• The plasma display panel, which is built for maximum precision, provides more than 99.99% effective pixels. You may find, however,
that some pixels constantly remain lit or dimmed.
• The display has a fan to prevent its internal temperature from rising.
• Be careful with the air delivered by the fan. It may be very hot.
• Contact your dealer if you find that the display does not seem to function properly when used with other audio-visual equipment.
You may need to move your 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.
Warning
If the power indicator lamp flashes red, this signifies that the display has developed a problem. When this happens, be sure to remove the
power plug from the receptacle to prevent fire or electric shock. Then, check the display in accordance with the instructions given on
P. E-41, or contact your dealer.
Information
Cables for connecting the display to external equipment are not supplied. Contact your dealer for more information on these products.
E-5
INSTALLATION
To prevent the display’s internal components from overheating, make sure that the display is installed in a well-ventilated location.

sure that your dealer performs the installation.
See the appropriate instruction manual for more information on the installation hardware you select.
To ensure proper heat radiation, provide at least as much space around the display as shown below.
* Make sure that the display is installed in a location where the temperature can be maintained between 0°C and 40°C.
* Never attempt to tilt the display sideways or backward.
* To prevent the power and other cables from being accidentally pulled, be sure to make the wiring work along the wall or through the
corners of floor.

will need to have it replaced. Contact your dealer for more information.
CONNECTING THE DISPLAY TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT
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.

• Displaying a picture in a Normal mode for extended periods of time may cause phosphor burn-in.
• A variety of picture modes are available with this display. Remember that if you select a mode with an aspect ratio (ratio of frame width to frame
height) different from that of the TV program or video media, the pictures will appear differently than if you had selected a mode having the same
aspect ratio.
• Showing a movie or similar premium event at a different aspect ratio from its original one at any event site, restaurant, or bar for profit-making
purposes or for a public audience may constitute a copyright infringement.
For films, try to select a mode having the same aspect ratio as the original picture; this enables the director’s original intentions to be preserved.

Be sure to remove the power plug from the receptacle before
cleaning the display.
Be sure not to clean the display using a cloth dampened with
volatile solvents, such as benzene or thinner. Such solvents can
harm the display’s cabinet, the filter at the screen front, and the
remote control. They can also cause paint to come off these
sections.
Cleaning the Screen
Clean the screen gently with a soft cloth.
The screen surface is fragile. Never attempt to clean it with a hard
material, press on it forcefully, or tap it.
HANDY TIPS
In the event of problems with the display, check the following explanations before contacting your dealer for servicing.
Cleaning the Cabinet and Remote Control
Use a soft cloth for cleaning.
If the cabinet or remote control is heavily stained, soak a soft cloth
in a mixture of water and detergent and squeeze it dry before
wiping off the stains. Use a soft, dry cloth for final cleaning.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
Remove dust from the ventilation grille in the rear of the main unit
periodically with a vacuum cleaner as the accumulated dust can
increase the internal temperature of the main unit causing machine
failure or fire hazard.
