(including amplifiers)that produce heat.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polar­ized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong, The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet,

Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.

Important safety instructions shall be provided with each apparatus. This information shall be given in a separate
booklet or sheet, or be located before any operating instructions in an instruction for installation for use and
supplied with the apparatus.

This information shall be given in a language acceptable to the country where the apparatus is intended to
be used.

The important safety instructions shall be entitled “Important Safety Instructions”. The following safety
instructions shall be included where applicable, and, when used, shall be verbatim as follows. Additional safety

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.

Refer all servicing to qualified service person­nel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as power­supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has exposed to rain
or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :
Most appliances recommend they be placed
upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet
circuit which powers only that appliance and
has no additional outlets or branch circuits.
Check the specification page of this owner's
manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or
cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of
these conditions could result in electric shock
or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your
appliance, and if its appearance indicates dam­age or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use
of the appliance, and have the cord replaced

with an exact replacement part by an autho­rized servicer. Protect the power cord from
physical or mechanical abuse, such as being
twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs,
wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits
the appliance.

FEATURES OF THIS TV

What is a Plasma TV ?

Using plasma is the best way to achieve flat panel
displays with excellent image quality and large screen
sizes that are easily viewable. The Plasma TV can be
thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and or
a series of fluorescent lamps.

How does it work?

Plasma TV is an array of cells, known as pixels, which
are comprised of three sub-pixels, corresponding to
the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in a plasma state
is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to
produce colored light (red, green, or blue). These
phosphors are the same types used in Cathode Ray
Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions and common
computer monitors.

Plasma TV offers a rich, dynamic display because
each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced
electronics to produce over 16 million different col­ors. This means that you get perfect images that are
easily viewable in a display that is fewer than five
inches thick.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally
broad viewing angle of over 160 degrees. This means
that the display is clear and visible to viewers any­where in the room.

Wide Screen

The wide screen offers a theater-like experience in
your own home.

Multimedia

Connect your plasma display to a PC and use it for
conferencing, games, and Internet browsing. The
Picture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PC
and video images simultaneously.

Versatile

The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install
your plasma display in a variety of locations where
conventional TVs do not fit.

The Plasma TV Manufacturing Process: a few
minute colored dots may be present on the
Plasma TV screen

The Plasma TV is composed of 0.9

to 2.2 million

cells. A few cell defects will normally occur in the
Plasma TV manufacturing process. Several tiny,
minute colored dots visible on the screen should be
acceptable. This also occurs in other Plasma TV
manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing
does not mean that this Plasma TV is defective. Thus
a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the
Plasma TV to be exchanged or returned. Our pro­duction technology minimizes these cell defects dur­ing the manufacture and operation of this product.

Cooling Fan Noise (This feature is not available for all models.)

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer
to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the
Plasma TV is equipped with cooling fans to cool the
Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a cer­tain level of noise could occur while the fans are
operating and cooling the Plasma TV.

The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on
the Plasma TV's efficiency or reliability. The noise
from these fans is normal during the operation of
this product. We hope you understand that a certain
level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and
is not sufficient cause for the Plasma TV to be
exchanged or returned.

FOR LCD TV

If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal,
there is nothing wrong with TV.

Some minute dot defects may be visible on the
screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots.
However, they have no adverse effect on the moni­tor's performance.

Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your fin­ger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so
may produce some temporary distortion effects on
the screen.

ATTACHING THE TV TO A WALL

We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,
potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.

■

Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.

*If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.

Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately) on
the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.

Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.

■

Use a sturdy rope (not provided as parts of the product, must pur­chase separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the rope so it
becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.

The TV can be conveniently swivelled on its stand 20° to the left or right to provide the optimum
viewing angle.

When connecting with an antenna

■

To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and TV.

■

Use the ISM feature in the Option menu to avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period
of time. If the 4:3 picture format is used; the fixed images on the sides of the screen may remain visible on
the screen. This phenomenon is common to all manufactures and in consequence the manufactures warranty
does not cover the product bearing this phenomenon.
