should not be used.
Safety Precautions
Do not handle the power cord plug with
wet hands.
■ Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Safety Precautions1
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.
If water or foreign objects get inside the
Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped,
or if the cabinet becomes damaged,

■ 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.
■ The 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.
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.
■ 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.

Programming the remote
control code
Your HP remote control is programmable. You can
program the remote control to operate other home
entertainment devices such as your VCR, DVD player,
audio receiver, or set-top box. Manufacturer codes for
compatible brands are listed at the end of this chapter.
If the brand of your device is not listed, see “Searching
for the device code” on page 69.
Programming the device code
The following steps describe how to program a device
button if your brand is listed.
1 Turn on the TV. Turn on the device you would like
to program.
n
Read steps 2 through 4 completely before
proceeding. Highlight or write down the
codes and device you wish to program
before performing step 2.

If the device button did not blink twice,
repeat steps 2 through 4, entering either
the same code or the next code if provided.
5 Aim the remote control at the device, and press
the Power button once. The device should turn off.
If it does not respond, repeat steps 2 through 4,
trying each code for your brand until you find one
that works. If it still does not work, try searching
for the code; see “Searching for the device code”
on page 69.
n
If the device does not have a Power button,
press Play.
6 Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each device you
want to control with the remote control.

SymptomsCheck
Some parts of the screen do not
light up.
An afterimage appears.
Hewlett-Packard
Whirring sounds can be heard from
the display unit.
■ The plasma display panel is manufactured using an
extremely high level of precision technology;
however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be
missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This
is not a malfunction.
■ 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.
Note:
The permanent afterimage on the plasma TV resulting
from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as
such is not covered by the warranty. This product is not
designed to display fixed images for extended periods
of time.
■ The TV is fitted with a cooling fan to dissipate heat
generated during normal use. The rotating fan may
cause a whirring sound, but it is not a malfunction.
