• Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma Display.

Do not stick any foreign objects into the Plasma Display.

• Do not insert any metal or flammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma Display, as

doing so can cause fire 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.

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 fire. 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 modifications 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 fire 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, fire 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 fire. Contact your local Panasonic dealer for any repairs that need to

be made.

Page 6

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 fire 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 fire.

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 reflected 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 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.

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 is used when the Plasma Display is controlled by a computer.

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.

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.

For an elongated image

For a 4:3 image

4:3 will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size.

Zoom mode magnifies the central section of the picture.

16:9 will display the picture at its maximum size but with slight elongation.

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.

Symptoms

Picture Sound

Before you call for service, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as shown below.

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.

Symptoms

The screen darkens slightly when bright pictures with minimal movements are shown.

It takes a while for the picture to appear.

The edges of the images flicker.

The brightness on both sides of images in the 4:3 mode changes.

Some parts of the screen do not light up.

After-images appear

[for TH-42PHD7B, TH-50PHD7B] Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit.

Plasma Display panel

Check

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.

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 flicker in the fastmoving 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 afterimage 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.

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.

Interference Noisy Sound

Normal Picture No Sound

No Picture No Sound

No Picture Normal Sound

No Coloaur Normal Sound

No remote control operations can be performed.

A cracking sound is sometimes heard from the unit.

The top or bottom of the picture on the screen is cut off when I use the zoom function.

Areas at the top and bottom of the screen where the image is missing appear when I use the zoom function.

I can hear sounds coming from inside the unit.

Checks

Electrical Appliances Cars / Motorcycles Fluorescent light

Volume (Check whether the mute function has been activated on the remote control.)

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.)

If a signal with a non-applicable colour system format, or frequency is input, only the input terminal indication is displayed.

Colour controls set at minimum level (see page 20, 21) Colour system (see page 33)

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.)

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.

Adjust the position of the picture on the screen.

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.

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.
