•

Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.

When using the Plasma TV

Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma TV.

Top of the Plasma TV 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 TV could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the TV if its ventilation holes are blocked.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV.

Moving the TV 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 TV 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 TV.

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 TV.

•

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.

Installation

Receiver Location

This unit is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for available options. Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the screen. Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range. Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture.

Optional External Equipment

The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance, video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply store. Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components require. Also determine the length of cable you will need.

Remote Control Battery Installation

Requires two AA batteries.

1. Turn the Transmitter face down. Remove top cover by pressing down on marking and sliding cover off in the direction indicated.

2. Install the batteries as shown in the battery compartment. (Polarity + or – must match the markings in the compartment).

3. Replace the cover and slide in reverse until the lock snaps.

Helpful Hints:

For frequent remote control users, replace old batteries with alkaline batteries for longer life.

Helpful Hints:

Whenever you remove the batteries, you may need to reset the remote control infrared codes. We recommend that you record the code

on page 59, prior to setting up the remote control.

Two AA size

Precaution on battery use

Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that will damage the remote control transmitter.

Observe the following precautions:

1. Batteries should always be replaced as a pair. Always use new batteries when replacing the old set.

2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one.

3. Do not mix battery types (example: “Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”).

4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used batteries.

Digital TV - Set-Top Box (DTV-STB) or DVD Connection

This television is capable of displaying 1080i and 480p DTV signals when connected to a DTV Tuner set-top-box (STB). In order to view DTV programming, the STB must be connected to the component video inputs (Y, PB , PR ) of the television. A DTV signal must be available in your area. Select the output of the STB to either 1080i or 480p. This television also utilizes a progressive scan doubler, which de-interlaces the NTSC signal and progressively scans the image. This allows you to sit close to the TV and not see the thin black horizontal lines (venetian blind effect) associated with interlaced TV pictures. Use this diagram to connect the Panasonic DTV-STB (Digital TV-Set-Top Box) or DVD Player to the back of your TV.

BBE VIVA / BBE

The distinguishing feature of BBE VIVA is its maintenance of accurate audio imagery. Ordinary 3D surround systems force the sound out to the left and right, affecting the center channel. As a result it may become hard to hear people's voices, or the center audio may completely disappear. BBE VIVA reproduces vocals in music and voices in movies accurately and distinctly.

BBE VIVA This maintains a constant level of sound that is faithful to the original, producing

Hi-Fi 3D sound that cannot be obtained with other types of 3D Surround.

BBE Use special signal processing to accurately reproduce the "attack" of each

sound, in order to make it immediate and superbly faithful to the original, while retaining its natural feel.

Symptoms

Some parts of the screen do not light up.

After-images appear

Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit.

Normal Audio

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.

Note:

The permanent after-image on the Plasma TV 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.

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.
