objects out of the reach of small children.
These objects can be accidentally
swallowed. Also, be careful about
packaging materials and plastic sheets.
Set up
Do not place the Plasma TV on sloped or
unstable surfaces.
■ The Plasma TV may fall off or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the
Plasma TV.
■ If water spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign
objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur
which could result in fire or electric shock. If any
foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, please
consult an Authorized Service Center.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
■ Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat,
which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma TV.
If using the pedestal, leave a space of
3 15/16 inch (10 cm) or more at the top,
left and right, 2 3/8 inch (6 cm) or more at
the bottom, and 2 3/4 inch (7 cm) or more
at the rear. If using some other method for
setup, leave a space of 3 15/16 inch (10 cm)
or more at the top, bottom, left and right,
and 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) or more at the rear.
Avoid installing this product near electronic
equipment that is readily affected by
electromagnetic waves.
■ It may cause interference in image, sound, etc. In
particular, keep video equipment away from this
product.
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on
120 Vv , 50/60 Hz.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as
it will go, and use the clamp to secure it. (See
“AC cord” on page 7.)
■ If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be
generated which could cause fire. If the plug is
damaged or the wall socket plate is loose, they
should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet
hands.
■ Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the
power cable. When disconnecting the power
cable, hold the plug, not the cable.
■ Do not make any modifications to, place heavy
objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend,
twist, or forcefully pull the power cable. Doing so
may cause damage to the power cable which can
cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable
is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized
Service Center.
If the Plasma TV will not be used for a long
period of time, unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet.
If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no
sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is
detected from the Plasma TV, unplug the
power cord immediately.
■ Continued use of the TV under these conditions
might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit.
Have the TV evaluated at an Authorized Service
Center. Service to the TV by any unauthorized
personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high
voltage dangerous nature.
Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions 1
If water or foreign objects get inside the
Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if
the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect
the power cord plug immediately.
■ A short may occur, which could cause fire.
Contact an Authorized Service Center for any
repairs that need to be made.
When using the Plasma TV
Do not bring your hands, face, or objects
close to the ventilation holes of the
Plasma TV.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before
moving the Plasma TV.
■ Moving the TV with its cables attached might
damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire
or electric shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall
outlet as a safety precaution before carrying
out any cleaning.
■ Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it
from becoming dusty.
■ Top of the Plasma TV is usually very hot due to the
high temperature of exhaust air being released
through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal
injuries can happen if any body parts are brought
too close. Placing any object near the top of the
TV could also result in heat damage to the object
as well as to the TV if its ventilation holes are
blocked.
Cleaning and maintenance
The front of the display panel has been
specially treated. Wipe the panel surface
gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft,
lint-free cloth.
■ Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with
fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore,
avoid contact with volatile substances such as
insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the
quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth.
■ Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase
humidity which might damage the insulation and
cause fire. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet
and clean it with a dry cloth.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays;
therefore, it may affect other infrared
communication equipment. Install your
infrared sensor in a place away from direct
or reflected light from your Plasma TV.
n
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed
for an extended period, as this can cause a
permanent afterimage to remain on the
Plasma TV.
Examples of still pictures include logos,
video games, computer images, teletext,
and images displayed in 4:3 mode.
■ Do not allow any detergent to come into direct
contact with the surface of the Plasma TV. If water
droplets get inside the unit, operating problems
may result.
■ Avoid contact with volatile substances such as
insect sprays, solvents and thinner; otherwise, the
quality of the cabinet surface may be adversely
affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore,
do not leave it for long periods in contact with
articles made from rubber or PVC.
