•
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.

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 4:3.
Notes:
(1) Do not allow the picture 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 16:9 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.
