Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or refl ected light from your Plasma 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 in
which neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, 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

Whirring sounds can be heard

The screen will darken slightly when photos, still images of a computer or other pictures with minimal
movements are shown for an extended period. This is done to reduce image retention on the screen
and the shortening of the screen’s service life: It is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
The unit digitally processes the various signals in order to reproduce esthetically 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.
Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the panel, the edges may appear to fl icker in
the fast-moving parts of the images: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
When viewing the side panels at the “High” or “Mid” setting, the brightness on both sides may change
depending on the kind of program shown: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
The plasma display 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
image retention to remain on the Plasma Display.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed
in 4:3 mode.
Note:
The permanent image retention on the Plasma Display resulting from fi xed image use is not an
operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.
This product is not designed to display fi xed images for extended periods of time.
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.

Description
The display of the pictures fi lls the screen.
In the case of SD signals, pictures with a 4:3 aspect
ratio are enlarged horizontally, and displayed. This
mode is suited to displaying anamorphic pictures with
a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Letterbox pictures with a 14:9 aspect ratio are enlarged
vertically and horizontally so that their display fi lls the
screen vertically and is slightly smaller than the screen
horizontally. The top and bottom edges of the pictures
are cut off. Side panels are displayed at the left and right
edges of the screen.
Pictures with a 4:3 aspect ratio are enlarged horizontally
so that the picture distortion is minimized. The display of
the areas around the left and right edges of the screen
is slightly elongated.
The pictures with a 4:3 aspect ratio among the 16:9 aspect
ratio signals are enlarged horizontally so that the picture
distortion is minimized. The left and right edges of the
