Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
Small parts can present choking hazard if accidentally swallowed. Keep small parts away from young children. Discard unneeded small parts and other objects, including packaging materials and plastic bags/sheets to prevent them from being played with by young children, creating the potential risk of suffocation.
When using the Plasma Display
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display.
•Top of the Plasma Display 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 display could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its ventilation holes are blocked.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display.
•Moving the Display 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 Display 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 Display.
Note:
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.

Safety Precautions
WARNING
Setup
Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable surfaces, and ensure that the Plasma Display does not hang over the edge of the base.
• The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma Display.
•If water spills onto the Plasma Display or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
•Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma Display.
Transport only in upright position!
•Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear, and also keep the space between the bottom of the display and the floor surface. If using some other setting-up method, follow the manual of it. (If there is no specific indication of installation dimension in the installation manual, leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, bottom, left and right, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear.)
When installing the Plasma Display vertically;
Turn up the power switch for the upward direction when you install the Plasma Display vertically.
And set “DISPLAY ORIENTATION” to “PORTRAIT” in SET UP menu. (see page 34)
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 110 - 127 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
Do not use any power supply cord other than that provided with this unit.
• Doing so may cause fire or electric shocks.
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 the cable.
•Do not make any modifications, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cord 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 odor is detected from the Plasma Display, unplug the power cord immediately.
•Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
•A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.
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 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 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:
•With regard to the typical PC input signals that are described in the applicable input signals list (see page 48), adjustment values such as for the standard picture positions and sizes have already been stored in this unit. You can add up to eight PC input signal types that are not included in the list.
•Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 to 110 kHz and vertical scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, the image will not be displayed properly if the signals exceed 1,200 lines.)
•The display resolution is a maximum of 768 × 768 dots when the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 1,024 × 768 dots when the aspect mode is set to “FULL”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to show fine detail with sufficient clarity.
•The PC input terminals are DDC2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC2B-compatible, you will need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection.
•Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
•There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible Mini D-sub 15P terminal.
•The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
•Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
•Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified frequency range.
•Component Input is possible with the pin 1, 2, 3 of the Mini D-sub 15P Connector.
•Change the “COMPONENT/RGB-IN SELECT” setting in the “SET UP” menu to “COMPONENT” (when COMPONENT signal connection) or “RGB” (when RGB signal connection). (see page 37)
