AC Power Supply Cord

The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

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

If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket

•

plate is loose, they should not be used.

Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.

Doing so may cause electric shocks.

•

Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not

Safety Precautions

CAUTION

This Plasma TV is for use only with the following optional accessories. Use with any other type of optional
accessories may cause instability which could result in the possibility of injury.

(All of the following accessories are manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.)

Pedestal (included) ........................................... TY-ST42PA20

•

Wall-hanging bracket (Vertical) ......................... TY-WK42PV3U, TY-WK42PV2W

•

Wall-hanging bracket (Angled) .......................... TY-WK42PR2U

•

Display stand ..................................................... TY-DP4201W

•

Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.

When using the Plasma TV

Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma TV.

Top of the Plasma TV is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through the ventilation

•

holes. Burns or personal injuries can happen if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the
TV could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the TV if its ventilation holes are blocked.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV.

Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.

•

Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet 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 from becoming dusty.

Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug

•

the cord from the wall outlet and clean it 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.

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, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth to

•

remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, 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. 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 a weak detergent solution 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.

Note:

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.

Installation

Receiver Location

This unit is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for available options. Locate for
comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture.

Optional External Equipment

The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance,
video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components
require. Also determine the length of cable you will need.

Remote Control Battery Installation

1. Open the cover.

Helpful Hints:

For frequent remote control users, replace old
batteries with alkaline batteries for longer life.

Helpful Hints:

Whenever you remove the batteries, you may
need to reset the remote control infrared
codes. We recommend that you record the code

on page 59, prior to setting up the remote control.

2. Install the batteries and replace the
cover.
Note the correct polarity (+ and -).

Two AA size

Precaution on battery use

Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that
will damage the remote control transmitter.
