Safety Precautions
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 Plasma TV, immediately unplug the power supply plug from the wall outlet.
If you continue to use the Plasma TV in this condition, fire 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 Plasma TV yourself is extremely dangerous, and should never be attempted.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes
damages, disconnect the power supply plug immediately.
A short circuit may occur, which could cause fire. Contact your local Panasonic dealer for any repairs that need to
•
be made.
CAUTION
When using the Plasma TV
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma TV.
Heated air comes out from the ventilation holes at the top of Plasma TV 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 Plasma TV.
If the Plasma TV is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged, and
•
fire 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 fire.
•
Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.
This Plasma TV 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 TV.
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 fingernails 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 Plasma TV.
•
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.

Folders and Files
Digital cameras that are compliant with DCF specifications use folders with a specific structure. The following diagram
shows an example of the folder structure.
Example:
If the Card file hierarchy is displayed on the PC as
shown below.
The digital camera creates this folder automatically.
100_PANA Folder
Folder names consist of a 3-digit folder number which is
followed by five arbitrary characters. Digital camera
images are stored within these folders.
JPEG files in the 100_PANA folder are displayed when a
Card, which is structured as shown left, is inserted.
Notes:
• The folder name may vary according to the digital camera
being used.
• When a directory or file is created, only the characters
“A-Z”, “a-z”, “0-9” and “_” are used. Two-byte characters
or other special codes shall not be used.
P1000001.JPG: DCF File

Symptoms
Some parts of the screen do not
light up.
After-images appear
The plasma TV 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 TV.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images
displayed in 4:3 mode.
Without signals and operations for 2 minutes, the level of the contrast decreases automatically
to prevent image retention.
Note:
The permanent after-image on the Plasma TV 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.
Check
Sleep Feature
If the set is not switched off when the TV station stops transmitting, it will automatically go to standby mode after 30
minutes. This function will not operate when this TV is in AV mode.
Notes:
• External surfaces of the unit may become hot during operation. But this is completely normal.
• See label on the base of this equipment for ratings and other information.
