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 Display 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 Display.

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. 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.

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 slight 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.

AUTO

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

Note:

AUTO

For an elongated image

For a 4:3 image

Image is expanded

Changes in accordance with the ASPECT AUTO mode setting (see page

35).

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.

Note:

Do not allow the picture to be displayed in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause a parmanent after-image to remain on the Plasma Display Panel.
