If the High Definition 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 cord 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.

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 High Definition 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.

CAUTION

This appliance is intended for use in environments which are relatively free of electromagnetic fields. Using this appliance near sources of strong electromagnetic fields or where electrical noise may overlap with the input signals could cause the picture and sound to wobble or cause interference such as noise to appear. To avoid the possibility of harm to this appliance, keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic fields.

Notes:

(1) Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15.5 to 110 kHz and

vertical scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, signals exceeding 1200 lines will not be displayed properly.)

(2) The display resolution is a maximum 640 × 480 dots when the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 852 × 480 dots

when the aspect mode is set to “16:9”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to show fine detail with sufficient clarity.

(3) 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. (4) Some PC models cannot be connected to the set. (5) An adapter is required to use the PC cable (D-sub 15P) to connect a Macintosh computer to the set. (6) There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal. (7) The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only. (8) Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.

Notes:

(1) During RGB and PC input signal mode, the mode switches

between “4:3” and “16:9” only.

(2) For a 525p (480p) signal input during “Component” input

signal mode, the mode switches between “Zoom” and “16:9” only.

(3) For a 1125i (1080i), 750p (720p) signal input during

“Component” input signal mode, the mode is set to “16:9” mode, and switching is not possible. For a 525i (480i), 625i (575i) signal input during “Component” input signal mode, “Panasonic Auto” can not be selected.

(4) The aspect mode is memorized separately for each input

terminal (AV, Component, RGB and PC).

Changes in accordance with the Panasonic Auto mode setting (see page

29)

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.

input from the G (BNC) connector.

On VIDEO: Compatible with the scart plug (Europe)

The composite video signal input from the VIDEO input terminal is used by dividing the sync signals.

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 sign of 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 High Definition Plasma Display . Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.
