Safety Precautions
Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table
cloths and curtains.
For suffi cient ventilation;
If using the pedestal (optional accessory) for the Plasma Display, leave a space of at least 10 cm at the top,
left and right, at least 6 cm at the bottom, and at least 7 cm at the rear. If using some other setting-up method,
leave a space of at least 10 cm at the top, bottom, left and right, and at least 7 cm at the rear.
When using the Plasma Display
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
• Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause fi re or damage to the Plasma Display.
Do not stick any foreign objects into the Plasma Display.
• Do not insert any metal or fl ammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma Display, as
doing so can cause fi re or electric shock.
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
• High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Plasma Display. For any inspection,
adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection.
Do not use any power supply cord other than that provided with this unit.
• Doing so may cause fi re or electric shocks.
Securely insert the power supply plug as far as it will go.
• If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fi re. If the plug is damaged or the wall
socket is loose, they shall not be used.
Do not handle the power supply plug with wet hands.
• Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the plug
body, not the cable.
• Do not damage the cable, make any modifi cations to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any
hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fi re and electric shock. If the power cable is
damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.
If the Plasma Display is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, unplug the power supply plug
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 odour starts to come out
from the Plasma Display, immediately unplug the power supply plug from the wall outlet.
• If you continue to use the Plasma Display in this condition, fi re or electric shock could result. After checking that
the smoke has stopped, contact your local Panasonic dealer so that the necessary repairs can be made. Repairing
the Plasma Display yourself is extremely dangerous, and shall never be done.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet
becomes damages, disconnect the power supply plug immediately.
• A short circuit may occur, which could cause fi re. Contact your local Panasonic dealer for any repairs that need to
be made.

Safety Precautions
CAUTION
When using the Plasma Display
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display.
• Heated air comes out from the ventilation holes at the top of Plasma Display will be hot. Do not bring your hands
or face, or objects which cannot withstand heat, close to this port, otherwise burns or deformation could result.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display.
• If the Plasma Display is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged,
and fi re or electric shock could result.
Disconnect the power supply plug from the wall socket 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 becoming dusty.
• If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fi re.
Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead 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 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
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.

Just mode will display a 4:3 picture at its maximum size but with
aspect correction applied to the center of the screen so that
elongation is only apparent at the left and right edges of the screen.
The size of the picture will depend on the original signal.
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 4:3.
• If adjusting the Picture V-Pos/V-Size in Panasonic Auto with 16:9
mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the mode,
the screen will return to a former adjustment.

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.
