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.
CAUTION
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 after-image to remain on the Plasma Display. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in NORMAL mode.

Safety Precautions / Maintenance
WARNING
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 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.

Maintenance

Setup
Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable surfaces.
• 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.
If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of 3
15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8
(6 cm) or more at the bottom, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear. If using some other setting-up method, 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.
AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma Display 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 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.

PC Input Terminals connection

Notes:
• Due to space limitations, occasionally you may have trouble connecting Mini D-sub 15P cable with ferrite core to PC input Terminal.
• Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 to 1 10 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 640 × 480 dots (TH-37PG9U, TH-42PG9U), 768 × 720 dots (TH-37PR9U), 768 × 768 dots (TH-42PR9U) when the aspect mode is set to “NORMAL”, and 852 × 480 dots (TH-37PG9U, TH-42PG9U), 1,024 × 720 dots (TH-37PR9U), 1,024 × 768 dots (TH-42PR9U) 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 DDC1/2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC1/2B-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 D-sub 15P Connector.

SERIAL Terminals connection

Notes:
• Use the RS-232C cable to connect the computer to the Plasma Display.
• The computer shown is for example purposes only.
• Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set. The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interface specification, so that the Plasma Display can be controlled by a
computer which is connected to this terminal. The computer will require software which allows the sending and receiving of control data which satisfies the conditions given below. Use a computer application such as programming language software. Refer to the documentation for the computer application for details.
The SERIAL terminal is used when the Plasma Display is controlled by a computer.
Communication parameters
Basic format for control data
The transmission of control data from the computer starts with a STX signal, followed by the command, the parameters, and lastly an ETX signal in that order. If there are no parameters, then the parameter signal does not need to be sent.
Notes:
• If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to wait for the response for the first command to come from this unit before sending the next command.
• If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, this unit will send an “ER401” command back to the computer.
With the power off, this display responds to PON command only.

ZOOM
ZOOM mode magnifies the central section of the picture.
FULL
FULL will display the picture at its maximum size but with slight elongation.
JUST

Panasonic
AUTO
The display will automatically become enlarged (depending on the picture source), allowing you to view the picture at its maximum size.
Notes:
• 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.
• If adjusting the PICTURE V-POS/V -SIZE in Panasonic AUT O with FULL mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the mode, the screen will return to a former adjustment.
• Panasonic AUTO can not be selected while TY -FB9BD (optional BNC Dual Video Terminal Board) is installed.

Troubleshooting

Before you call for service, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as shown below.
Symptoms
Checks
Picture Sound
Interference Noisy Sound
Electrical Appliances Cars / Motorcycles Fluorescent light
Normal Picture No Sound
Volume (Check whether the mute function has been activated on the remote control.)
No Picture No Sound
Not plugged into AC outlet Not switched on PICTURE and BRIGHTNESS/Volume setting (Check by pressing the power switch or stand-by button on the remote control.)
No Picture Normal Sound
If a signal with a non-applicable color system format, or frequency is input, only the input terminal indication is displayed.
No Color Normal Sound
Color controls set at minimum level. (see page 22, 23) COLOR SYSTEM (see page 33)
No remote control operations can be performed. Check whether the batteries have discharged completely and, if they have not, whether they
were inserted properly. Check whether the remote control sensor is exposed to an outdoor light or a strong fluorescent light. Check whether the remote control designed specifically for use with the unit is being used. (The unit cannot be operated by any other remote control.)
A cracking sound is sometimes heard from the unit. If there is nothing wrong with the picture or sound, this is the sound of the cabinet undergoing
very slight contractions in response to changes in the room temperature. There are no adverse effects on the performance or other aspects.
The top or bottom of the picture on the screen is cut off when I use the zoom function.
Adjust the position of the picture on the screen.
Areas at the top and bottom of the screen where the image is missing appear when I use the zoom function.
When using a video software program (such as a cinema size program) with a screen wider than one in the 16:9 mode, blank areas separate from the images are formed at the top and bottom of the screen.
I can hear sounds coming from inside the unit. When the power is turned on, a sound of the display panel being driven may be heard: This is
normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
This Plasma Display uses special image processing. Hence a slight time lag may occur between image and audio, depending on the type of input signal. However, this is not a malfunction.
Plasma Display panel
Symptoms Check
The screen darkens slightly when bright pictures with minimal movements are shown.
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 after-image on the screen and the shortening of the screen’s service life: It is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
It takes a while for the picture to appear. 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.
The edges of the images flicker. Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the panel, the edges may appear to flicker
in the fast-moving parts of the images: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
The brightness on both sides of images in NORMAL mode changes.
When viewing the side panels at the “BRIGHT” 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.
Some parts of the screen do not light up. 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.
After-images appear
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 NORMAL 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.
[for TH-37PR9U, TH-42PR9U] 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.

LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT
Panasonic Canada Inc. (also known as PCI) warrants this product to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use during the applicable warranty coverage period described below. PCI agrees to repair, or at its option, exchange, any part that becomes defective. However, the product must be purchased and serviced in Canada. The product or part that shows evidence of defect must be delivered prepaid or carried in to an authorized Panasonic Broadcast Service Center. This warranty does not cover shipping costs.
The warranty coverage period is one year for both parts and labour beginning with the date of original end user purchase, subject to the exceptions as stated below. Repaired or replacement parts supplied during the warranty coverage period carry the unexpired portion of the original warranty coverage period. Proof of product purchase is a condition of warranty service. The owner must produce the product purchase receipt or other satisfactory evidence of date of original purchase.
This warranty does not apply to external appearance items, such as handles, knobs, safety windows, etc. This warranty does not apply to any part, or parts, of the product, installed, altered, repaired or misused in any way that, in the opinion of PCI, affects the reliability of or detracts from the performance of the product.
For products requiring routine preventive maintenance, that maintenance must be performed in order to maintain warranty coverage.
Serial numbers that have been altered, defaced or removed void this warranty. This warranty does not cover replacements or repairs necessitated by loss or damage resulting from any cause beyond the control of PCI.
Marking or retained images (sometimes called “burn-in”) resulting from the display of fixed images on video display products are not defects and are not covered under this warranty.
THIS EXPRESS, LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL PANASONIC CANADA INC. BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
In certain instances, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above limitations and exclusions may not be applicable.
