•
AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
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, 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 Display 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
Display, unplug the power cord immediately.
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.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet

Safety Precautions
CAUTION
This Plasma Display is for use only with the following optional accessories. Use with any other type of optional
accessories may cause instability which could result in the possibility of injury.
(All of the following accessories are manufactured by JVC)
Speakers
•
Stand Unit
•
Wall Mounting Unit
•
Wall Mounting Unit (angled)
•
Ceiling Suspension Unit
•
Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display.
Top of the Plasma Display 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.
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.
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.
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.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

Notes:
(1)
Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 to 110 kHz and vertical
scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, the image will not be displayed properly if the signals exceed 1,200 lines.)
(2) The display resolution is a maximum of 768 × 768 dots (GD-V422PCE), 1,024 × 768 dots (GD-V502PCE) when
the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 1,024 × 768 dots (GD-V422PCE), 1,366 × 768 dots (GD-V502PCE) when the
aspect mode is set to “16:9”. 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) There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible mini D-sub 15P terminal.
(6) The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
(7) Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
(8) Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified
frequency range.
(9) Component Input is possible with the pin 1, 2, 3 of the mini D-sub 15P Connector.

(Check whether the mute function has been
activated on the remote control.)
Not plugged into AC outlet
Not switched on
Picture and Brightness / Volume setting
(Check by pressing the power switch or standby button on the remote control.)
If a signal with a non-applicable colour system
format, or frequency is input, only the input
terminal indication is displayed.

No Colour
This Plasma Display uses special image processing. Hence a slight time lag may occur between image and audio,
depending on the type of input signal. However, this is not a malfunction.
Plasma Display panel
Symptoms
Some parts of the screen
do not light up.
After-images appear
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 after-image to remain on the Plasma Display.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext
and images displayed in 4:3 mode.
Note:
The permanent after-image on the Plasma Display 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.
Normal Sound
Check
Whirring sounds can be
heard from the display unit.
The display unit is fitted with a cooling fan to dissipate heat generated during normal
use.The whirring sound is caused by rotation of the fan and is not a malfunction.
