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.
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 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.
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 Display. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

Changes in accordance with the Panasonic AUTO mode setting (see page 35)
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 NORMAL.
Notes:
(1) Do not allow the picture to be displayed in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause a parmanent after-image
to remain on the Plasma Display Panel.
(2) The S VIDEO terminal on this set can detect specially encoded signals that are compatible with a wide screen monitor.
When a full image from the S VIDEO terminal of specially encoded video is detected by the set, the screen size is automatically set to FULL mode.

Check
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 after-image 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 after-image on the Plasma Display 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.
Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit.
The display unit is fitted 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.
