INTRODUCTION

BENEFITS

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.

INTRODUCTION	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 col-
	ors. 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 any-
	where 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

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.

On Disposal

a.The fluorescent lamp used in this product contains a small amount of mercury.

b.Do not dispose of this product with general household waste.

c.Disposal of this product must be carried out in accordance to the regulations of your local authority.

INSTALLATION

ATTACHING THE TV TO A WALL

INSTALLATION

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. *Insert the eye-bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.

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.
