FCC Notice:

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warnings

Screen Burn-in

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) is that displaying the same image for a long time causes a part of the image to stay on the screen (this is called phosphor burn-in).

Avoid burn-in as follows.

IMAGE SHIFT

The picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down and to the left and right at regular intervals. In order to prevent burn-in, set this function to FAST or STD. (Refer to page 47.) Even if the IMAGE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture will shift to the left or right when the channel or input is changed. This is only when the ASPECT function is in REGULAR mode.

VIDEO STATUS

The VIDEO STATUS function is initially set to DYNAMIC. Unless the TV is being watched in an extremely bright room, it is recommended to change the VIDEO STATUS setting to standard, theater or game. Doing so will reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the life of the PDP. (Refer to page 66).

❑ Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.

TV on

XYZ XYZ

For example...

• Reduce PICTURE and BRIGHT on the PICTURE ADJUST menu (page 56) when viewing.

❑ Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 70).

Screen size is normally chosen to ensure that the picture is displayed on the entire screen. After viewing in the REGULAR mode in which black bands may occur at the left and right of the screen, it is recommended to change to the PANORAMA mode to display the picture on the entire screen.

TV on

For example...

❑ Do not view for long periods of time using the TWIN function (page 62) or INDEX

function (page 62).

TV off

Warnings

If Burn-in has occurred

If burn-in occurs, try the BURN-IN IMAGE REDUCER function (page 58). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.

Note: Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Point defects

PDPs use collections of fine pixels to display images. While there is no problem with more than

99.99% of these pixels, please understand that a very small number of pixels may not light or

may light all the time.

Do not install the TV near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves

It may cause interference in images, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.

Effect on infrared devices

There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.

The phenomenon described below is not a malfunction.

If the television is used at a location above an altitude of 2,000 m, a buzzing noise and image distortion may occur. This phenomenon is peculiar to PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and could occur with any television using PDP. It is not a malfunction.

Caring for the Cabinet

Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.

If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth, slightly moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to help remove spots of oily dirt.

DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.

DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.

DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surface.

DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.

Caring for the Screen

When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.

Do not apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the screen. These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.

Movies Ratings

❒ NR – Not Rated

This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries which do not use the MPAA ratings system. Other NR films may be from amateur producers who didn’t intend to have their film widely released.

NR (Not Rated) Programming may contain all types of programming including children’s programming, foreign programs, or adult material.

❒ G – General Audience

In the opinion of the review board, these films contain nothing in the way of sexual content, violence, or language that would be unsuitable for audiences of any age.

❒ PG – Parental Guidance

Parental Guidance means the movie may contain some contents such as mild violence, some brief nudity, and strong language. The contents are not deemed intense.

❒ PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned

Parents with children under 13 are cautioned that the content of movies with this rating may include more explicit sexual, language, and violence content than movies rated PG.

❒ R – Restricted

These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for unsupervised children under the age of 17.

❒ NC-17 – No One Under 17

These movies contain content which most parents would feel is too adult for their children to view. Content can consist of strong language, nudity, violence, and suggestive or explicit subject matter.

❒ X – No One under 18

Inappropriate material for anyone under 18.

• You may be too far from the TV. You must be within 23 feet (7 meters).

• Make sure the channels have been programmed. See "Channel Summary", page 39.

• Check to see if the channel is locked. See "Channel Summary - Lock" page 40.

• Make sure the set did not become unplugged.

• Perhaps the On/Off Timer is set. See page 61.

• Check to see if the Sleep Timer was set. See page 67.

• This television is operated by a microprocessor. It is possible that external noise or interference is causing the problem. If the television does not function correctly, remove the electrical plug from the wall outlet and wait a while before inserting it into the wall outlet again and operating the television.

• The power was interrupted and the clock was not reset. See page 60.

• Tint and Color may be improperly adjusted. See page 56.

• The Video Status mode may be turned to the wrong setting. See page 66.

• There could be interference from another electrical appliance, such as a computer, another TV or VCR. Move any such appliances further away from the TV.

• There could be interference from a high-wattage appliance, like a hairdryer or vacuum, operating nearby. Move the antenna away from the appliance or change to a coaxial cable connection which is less prone to interference.

• A building or passing airplane can reflect the original signal and produce a second, slightly delayed one. Adjust your antenna position.

• Your antenna may be damaged, disconnected or turned. Check the antenna connection. If the antenna is damaged, replace it.

• It is normal for the TV to make crackling sounds when first turned on or off. Unless the sound or picture become abnormal, this is fine.

• The TV recieved a signal from the AV CompuLink

• The On Timer that you programmed has started.

• The channel that the AUTO DEMO is using is a channel that is blocked by V-Chip.

• The Auto Shut Off that you programed has occured.

• Press the CHANNEL- and VOLUME- buttons on the front panel of the TV simultaneously for a few seconds. The Digital Tuner will be reset. If this does not reset it correctly, unplug the power cord and plug it back in.

The following are not malfunctions.

• The television may make a creaking sound if the temperature of the room or the temperature of the inside of the television changes. If there is no problem with the screen or sound, then there is no need to worry.

• Although the picture may be temporarily disturbed and noise may be seen on the screen if

the power is turned on immediately after it has been turned off, this is not a malfunction.

• If the television is used at a location above 2,000 m, a buzzing noise and image distortion

may occur. This phenomenon is peculiar to PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and could occur with any television using PDP. It is not a malfunction.
