Safety Precautions

When using the LCD Display

The LCD Display is designed to operate on 220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Do not cover the ventilation holes.

• Doing so may cause the LCD Display to overheat, which can cause fi re or damage to the LCD Display.

Do not stick any foreign objects into the LCD Display.

• Do not insert any metal or fl ammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the LCD Display, as
doing so can cause fi re or electric shock.

Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.

• High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the LCD Display. For any inspection,
adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.

Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

Securely insert the power supply plug as far as it will go.

• If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fi re. If the plug is damaged or the wall
socket is loose, they shall not be used.

Do not handle the power supply plug with wet hands.

• Doing so may cause electric shocks.

Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the plug
body, not the cable.

• Do not damage the cable, make any modifi cations to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any
hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fi re and electric shock. If the power cable is
damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.

If the LCD Display is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, unplug the power supply plug
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 odour starts to come out
from the LCD Display, immediately unplug the power supply plug from the wall outlet.

• If you continue to use the LCD Display in this condition, fi re or electric shock could result. After checking that the
smoke has stopped, contact your local Panasonic dealer so that the necessary repairs can be made. Repairing
the LCD Display yourself is extremely dangerous, and shall never be done.

If water or foreign objects get inside the LCD Display, if the LCD Display is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes
damages, disconnect the power supply plug immediately.

• A short circuit may occur, which could cause fi re. Contact your local Panasonic dealer for any repairs that need to
be made.

• Heated air comes out from the ventilation holes at the top of LCD Display will be hot. Do not bring your hands or
face, or objects which cannot withstand heat, close to this port, otherwise burns or deformation could result.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the LCD Display.

• If the LCD Display is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged, and
fi re or electric shock could result.

Disconnect the power supply plug from the wall socket 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 becoming dusty.

• If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fi re.
Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.

This LCD Display radiates infrared rays, therefore it may affect other infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or refl ected light from your LCD 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, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water to
which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and 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 fi ngernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may
become damaged. 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 water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been
added 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 LCD 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.

Notes:

• Panasonic 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 4:3.

The unit digitally processes the various signals in order to reproduce estheticically pleasing images.
As such, it sometimes takes a few moments for the picture to appear when the power has been turned
on, when the input has been switched or when the images for the main picture and sub picture on the
two screens are swapped.
The display unit is fi tted 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.
