Safety Precautions

WARNING

Set up

Do not place the Plasma Display Monitor on sloped or unstable surfaces.

The Plasma Display Monitor may fall off or tip over.

•

Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma Display Monitory.

If water spills onto the Plasma Display Monitor 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 Display Monitor, please consult an Authorized Service Center.

Do not cover the ventilation holes.

Doing so may cause the Plasma Display Monitor to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma

•

Display Monitor.

If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8” (6 cm) or more at the bottom, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear. If using some other setting-up method, leave a space of 3

AC Power Supply Cord

The Plasma Display Monitor is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.

Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.

Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable.

If the Plasma Display Monitor is not in use 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 Display Monitor, unplug the power cord immediately.

If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display Monitor, if the Plasma Display Monitor is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.

Doing so may cause electric shocks.

•

Do not make any modifications, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull

•

Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the

•

Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.

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 Display Monitor

Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display Monitor.

Top of Plasma Display Monitor 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 display could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its ventilation holes are blocked.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display Monitor.

Moving the Display 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.

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.

If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth to

•

remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth, of the same type, until the surface is dry. 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.

If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth dry. Use this

•

cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth. Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma Display Monitor. 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.

Note:

Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma Display Monitor. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

Connect a cable which matches the audio output terminal on the computer.

Notes:

(1) Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15.5 to 110 kHz and vertical

scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, signals cannot be displayed if signals exceeding 1200 lines will not be displayed properly.)

(2) The display resolution is a maximum of 1024 × 768 dots when the aspect mode is set to “NORMAL”, and 1366 × 768

dots when the aspect mode is set to “FULL”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to show fine detail with sufficient clarity.

(3) The PC input terminals are DDC1/2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC1/2B-compatible, you

will need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection. (4) Some PC models cannot be connected to the set. (5) An adapter is required to use the PC cable (D-sub 15P) to connect a Macintosh computer to the set. (6) There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.

(7) The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only. (8) Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set. (9) Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified

frequency range.

Changes in accordance with the AUTO mode setting (see page 31)

ASPECT Controls

Explanation

NORMAL will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size.

ZOOM mode magnifies the central section of the picture.

FULL will display the picture at its maximum size but with sight elongation.

JUST mode will display a 4:3 picture at its maximum size but with aspect correction applied to the center of the screen so that elongation is only apparent at the left and right edges of the screen. The size of the picture will depend on the original signal.

The display will automatically become enlarged (depending on the picture source), allowing you to view the picture at its maximum size.

Note:

AUTO mode is designed to automatically adjust the aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material. Certain 4:3 program material, such as stock market data screens, may occasionally cause the image size to change unexpectedly. When viewing such programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT be set to NORMAL.

Notes:

(1) Do not allow 4:3 mode to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on

the Plasma Display Panel.

(2) The S-VIDEO terminal on this set can detect specially encoded signals that are compatible with a wide screen monitor.

When a full image from the S-VIDEO terminal of specially encoded video is detected by the set, the screen size is automatically set to FULL mode.

Notes:

(1) Adjustment details are memorized separately for different input signal formats (Adjustments for component signals

are memorized for 525i (480i), 625i (575i), 525p (480p), 1125i (1080i) and 750p (720p) each, and RGB/PC signals are memorized for each frequency.)

(2) If a “Cue” or “Rew” signal from a VCR or DVD player is received, the picture position will shift up or down. This

picture position movement cannot be controlled by the PICTURE POS./SIZE function.
