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.

Use the PICTURE SHIFT function. To prevent burn-in, the picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down



and to the left and right at regular intervals. See page 30 for details.

• Even if the PICTURE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture may shift to the left or right when the channel or input is changed.

 The PICTURE MODE function is initially set to BRIGHT. Unless the TV is being watched in an extremely bright

room, it is recommended to change the PICTURE MODE setting to either STANDARD or SOFT. Doing so will
reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the life of the PDP. See “PICTURE MODE” on page 21

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



While an image is displayed With power OFF

19:03

Burn-in example

19:03

• Reduce CONTRAST and BRIGHT on the PICTURE SETTING menu (page 21) when viewing.

Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 15).



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 PANORAMIC mode to display
the picture on the entire screen.

While an image is displayed With power OFF

Burn-in example

Do not view for long periods of time using the PIP function (page 16) or MULTI-PICTURE function (page 17).



If Burn-in has occurred

If burn-in occurs, try the REFRESH function (page 30). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.

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

2

Pixel defects

PDPs use collections of fine dots (“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.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the TV or remote control.

DO NOT block the TV’s ventilation openings or holes.

(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

DO NOT place anything on top of the TV.

(such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.)

DO NOT allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings.

(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the TV.

The surface of the TV screen is easily damaged. Be very careful with it when handling the TV.
Should the TV screen become soiled, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never rub it hard.
Never use any cleaner or detergent on it.

In the event of a fault, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover.

one transmitter, for example different ITV regions. In
this case each TV channel could be set twice. If this
happens, the first set of channels will have the stronger

T-V LINK functions

When you have a T-V LINK compatible VCR connected to
the EXT-2 Terminal on the TV, it is easier to set up the VCR
and to view videos. T-V LINK uses the following features:

To use T-V LINK functions:

A “T-V LINK compatible VCR” means a JVC video
cassette recorder with the T-V LINK logo, or with one of
the following logos. However, these VCRs may support
some or all of the features described earlier. For details, see
your VCR instruction manual.

“Q-LINK” (a trademark of Panasonic Corporation)
“Data Logic” (a trademark of Metz Corporation)
“Easy Link” (a trademark of Phillips Corporation)
“Megalogic” (a trademark of Grundig Corporation)
“SMARTLINK” (a trademark of Sony Corporation).

 Pre-set download

The VCR will automatically download the registered data on
the TV channels from the TV. This means you do not need
to set up the program channels on your VCR manually.
The preset download function automatically begins when
the initial setting is complete or whenever you carry out the
AUTO PROGRAM or EDIT/MANUAL functions.

You can also carry out this function using your VCR controls.

When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed:

If “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed, the
download was not performed correctly. Before trying to
download again, check that:

• the VCR power is turned on

• the VCR is T-V LINK compatible

• the VCR is connected to the EXT-2 terminal

• the SCART cable is fully wired.

 Direct Rec

“What You See Is What You Record”
You can easily record to VCR the images that you are

watching on the TV.
For details, read the manual for your VCR.

Use your VCR controls. “VCR IS RECORDING” is displayed.

In the following situations, the VCR will stop
recording if the TV is turned off, if the TV channel
or input is changed, or if the menu is displayed on
the TV:

• when recording images from an external device
connected to the TV (for example a camcorder)

• when recording a TV channel after it has been
unscrambled on a decoder

• when recording a TV channel by using the TV’s output
because the VCR’s own tuner cannot properly receive
that channel.

When the VCR is not ready (for example when there is no
tape inserted), “NO RECORDING” is displayed.
You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your TV’s control.
Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV channel that it
cannot receive properly on its own tuner, even if you can
view that TV channel on the TV. However, some VCRs can
record a TV channel by using the TV’s output if that
channel can be viewed on the TV. For details, see your
VCR instruction manual.

 TV auto power on/VCR image view

When the VCR starts playing, the TV automatically turns on
and the images from the EXT-2 terminal appear on the screen.

When the VCR menu is operated, the TV automatically
turns on and the images from the EXT-2 terminal appear on
the screen.

• Check that the AC plugs on the power cords from the TV
and receiver are connected to AC outlets.

DIGITAL VNR

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the amount of
‘noise’ (‘snow’ or interference) in the original picture.
You can choose from the three DIGITAL VNR function
settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of the DIGITAL
VNR effect to match the amount of noise in the picture,
giving you the best possible picture.

• If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too high it can make
the picture less sharp. It is recommended to use the
AUTO setting if you can.

• AUTO cannot be chosen when you are watching the
EXT-4 picture.

MIN:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the
minimum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO
but feel that the sharpness of the original picture has not
been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO to
MIN.

• The MIN setting is not suitable for low-quality pictures
which contain a lot of noise.

MAX:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the
maximum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO
but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO
to MAX.

• The MAX setting is not suitable for high-quality pictures
which contain very little noise.

• When a progressive-scanning picture is being displayed,
“DIGITAL VNR” cannot be selected.

• The DIGITAL VNR function does not work for
progressive-scanning pictures.

Super DigiPure

The Super DigiPure function uses the latest in digital
technology to give you a natural-looking picture. The Super
DigiPure function includes the following two functions.

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a natural-looking picture by
eliminating unnecessary edges from high-contrast and crisp
images. For images with low-contrast, edges are added to
produce a sharper, more detailed picture.
You can choose from the three DigiPure function settings of
AUTO, MIN and MAX.

• If you set the DigiPure effect too high on a low-quality
picture that contains a lot of noise, this may actually
make the noise worse. We recommend you use the
AUTO setting if you can.

Picture motion compensation function:

This function displays fast-moving pictures (for example,
the players or ball in a football game) more smoothly and
naturally on the screen.

• The effect level of the picture motion compensation
function cannot be changed. The effect level is the same
no matter which of the AUTO, MIN or MAX settings is
used.

2Press the 5555 buttons to choose a setting.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of the DigiPure
effect to match the amount of noise in the picture, giving the
best possible picture.

EXT-4 picture.

MIN:

The level of DigiPure effect is set to the minimum. When
you set the Super DigiPure function to AUTO and notice
some noise, change the setting from AUTO to MIN.

• The MIN setting is not suitable for high-quality pictures
which contain very little noise.

MAX:

The level of DigiPure effect is set to the maximum. If you
set the Super DigiPure function to AUTO but feel that the
original picture quality has not been reproduced fully,
change the setting from AUTO to MAX.

S-IN (S-VIDEO input)

You can connect a device (such as an S-VHS VCR) to enjoy
the high-quality picture of the S-VIDEO signal (Y/C
signal).

Preparation:

• First read the device’s instruction manual and
“Additional preparation” on page 37 to connect the
device to the TV properly. Second, follow the device’s
instruction manual to set the device so that it sends an
S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) to the TV.

• Do not set S-IN (S-VIDEO input) to the EXT terminal
connected to a device which cannot output an S-VIDEO
(Y/C signal). If it is set wrongly, a picture cannot appear.

1 Choose an EXT terminal

2 Press the yellow button and set the S-IN (S-

VIDEO input).
Then press the aaaa button

An S-IN (S-VIDEO input) mark is displayed. You can
view an S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) instead of the
regular video signal (composite signal).

To cancel the S-IN (S-VIDEO input) setting:

Press the yellow button and turn off S-IN (S-VIDEO
input) mark. The regular video signal (composite signal)
pictures are resumed.

• The EXT-1 terminal does not support S-VIDEO
signal (Y/C signal) and you cannot set S-IN (S­VIDEO input) in the EXT-1 terminal.

• Setting S-IN (S-VIDEO input) changes the head
character from “E” to “S”. When an EXT terminal
receives a normal video signal, “E2”, “E3” or “E5”
appears on the display. This changes to “S2”, “S3” or
“S5” when it receives an S-VIDEO signal.

• Even a device which can output an
S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) may output a regular
video signal (composite signal) depending on the
device setting. If a picture cannot appear because the
S-IN (S-VIDEO input) setting has been made, read
the device instruction manual carefully again to
check for the device settings.

ID LIST

You can have a name corresponding to the devices
connected for each EXT terminal. Giving a name to an EXT
terminal makes the EXT terminal number appear on the

• When two CH/CC numbers correspond to one Channel number, choose either one according to the current COUNTRY setting.
When the COUNTRY setting is other than FRANCE, choose a two-digit CH/CC number. When the COUNTRY setting is
FRANCE, choose a three-digit CH/CC number.

• Find the CH/CC number (CC110 to CC161) corresponding to the TV channel (SECAM-L system) from a French cable TV
station, based on the broadcast frequency of the TV channel. When you do not know the broadcast frequency, please contact the
cable TV station.

• The CH/CC numbers of CH102-CH169 and CC110-CC161 correspond to the TV channels being broadcast by a SECAM-L
system. The other CH/CC numbers correspond to the TV channels being broadcast by a method other than a SECAM-L system.

• When the COUNTRY setting is UNITED KINGDOM, the TV can receive only channels CH21 to CH69.

Troubleshooting

If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this troubleshooting guide carefully before you ask to have the TV
repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the mains plug is disconnected from the mains outlet, or the
TV aerial has problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.

Important:

• This troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose causes are not easy to decide. If you have a question when you are
operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully, not this troubleshooting guide.

• If you follow the advice in this troubleshooting guide without any success, unplug the mains plug and ask for your TV to be
repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or to remove the rear cover of the TV.

 If you cannot turn on the TV

• Are the mains plugs on the power cords from the TV and
receiver connected to mains outlets?

• Make sure to set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV
position. You cannot turn the TV on when the VCR/TV/
DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.

 If you cannot turn off the TV

• Make sure to set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV
position. You cannot turn the TV off when the VCR/TV/
DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.

 No picture or no sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel with very poor
reception? If so, the BLUE BACK function will be
activated: the entire screen becomes blue, and the sound
is muted. If you still want to view the TV channel,
follow the description “BLUE BACK” on page 29 to
change the BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.

• Have you set the SPEAKER function to OFF? Follow
the description “SPEAKER” on page 25 to check the
SPEAKER function setting.

• If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel is incorrect, it
may prevent the sound from being issued. Follow the
description “EDIT/MANUAL” on page 32 to use the
MANUAL function to try to change the SYSTEM
setting.

 Poor picture

• If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture, there may
be a problem with the aerial or aerial cable. Check the
following to try to solve the problem:

–Have the TV and aerial been connected properly?
–Has the aerial cable been damaged?
–Is the aerial pointing in the right direction?
–Is the aerial itself faulty?

• If the TV or aerial suffers interference from other
equipment, stripes or noise may appear in the picture.
Move any equipment such as an amplifier, personal
computer, or a hair drier, that can cause interference
away from your TV. Or try moving the TV. If the aerial
suffers interference from a radio tower or high-voltage
wire, please contact your local dealer.

• If the TV suffers interference from signals reflecting
from mountains or buildings, double-pictures (ghosting)
will occur. Try to change the aerial’s direction or replace
it with one with better directionality.

• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings correct? Follow
the description “COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 23 to try
to solve the trouble.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted
properly? Follow the description “Picture Adjustment”
on page 21 to try to adjust them properly.

• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may
not record correctly.

• When viewing images from commercially available
video software products, or videos from videotapes
which have been recorded improperly, the top of the
image may be distorted. This is due to the condition of
the video signal. There is nothing wrong with the TV.

 Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not,
follow the description “Sound Adjustment” on page 25.

• When TV channel reception is poor, it can be hard to
hear stereo or bilingual sound. In this case, follow the
description “STEREO / I • II” on page 25 to hear the
sound more easily by changing it to a mono sound.

 If the TV does not respond to the remote

control

• Have the batteries of the remote control worn out?
Follow the description “Putting the batteries into the
Remote control” on page 6 and replace them with new
batteries.

• Have you attempted to use the remote control from the
sides or rear of the TV or from more than seven metres
away from the TV? Use the remote control in the front of
your TV or from less than seven metres away.

• When you are viewing a teletext programme, you cannot
operate the menus. Press the b button to return to the
ordinary TV programme, and then try operating the
menus.

• If the TV suddenly stops responding, disconnect the
power cords of the TV and receiver from the AC outlets.
Connect them to the AC outlets again to turn on the TV.
If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.

 Other concerns

• When the SLEEP TIMER function operates, the TV is
automatically turned off. If the TV suddenly turns off,
try to press the # (standby) button to turn on the TV
once again. If the TV goes back to normal, there is no
problem.

• When the TV is receiving a wide-screen signal (WSS) or
a signal from an external device affecting the screen
size, the ZOOM mode automatically changes. When you
want to resume the previous ZOOM mode, press the
c button again.

• It takes a short period of time from the time an operation
such as changing channels is performed until an image is
displayed. This is not a malfunction. This is the time
required for the image to stabilize before it can be
displayed.

• The TV may make a crackling sound due to a sudden
change in temperature. The picture or sound may be
normal. If you hear crackling sounds frequently while
you are viewing the TV, there may be other causes. As a
precaution, ask your service technician to inspect it.

• In the twin pictures mode the sub-picture may disappear
when the external device is operated. If this happens,
press the R button and display the sub-picture again.

• The headphone volume is adjusted with the
“HEADPHONE” menu. It cannot be adjusted with the
r (volume) q buttons.

• When TV SPEAKER in the “HEADPHONE” menu is
ON, even if the headphones are connected, sound is
emitted from the TV speaker. When you do not want to
emit sound from the TV speaker, turn the setting OFF.

• Even if the PICTURE SHIFT function is turned off, the
picture may shift to the left or right when the channel or
input is changed. This is to prevent burn-in and is not a
fault.
