Safety Precautions

Warning
Handling the mains plug and lead
Insert the mains plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the mains plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.) Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible. Ensure the earth pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.) Do not use any mains lead other than that provided with this TV. (This may cause fire or electrical shock.) Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fire or electrical shock.)
Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the socket outlet. Do not place a heavy object on the lead or place the lead near a high-temperature object. Do not twist the lead, bend it excessively, or stretch it. Do not pull on the lead. Hold onto the mains plug body when disconnecting lead. Do not use a damaged mains plug or socket outlet.
If you find any abnormality, remove the mains plug immediately!
AC 220-240 V 50 / 60 Hz
Power source
This TV is designed to operate on 220-240 V, 50 / 60 Hz AC.

Notes

Do not block the rear air vents
Blocked ventilation by newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fire or electrical shock.

excessive volume from the headphones
Irreversible damage can be caused.
The TV is heavy. Handle the TV
by 2 or more people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV tipping or falling.
Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen (“image retention”). This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still images
Channel number and other logos Image displayed in 4:3 mode Video game
Computer image
To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered automatically after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are performed. (p. 79)
If no signal is received and no operation is performed in Analogue TV mode for 30 minutes, the TV will automatically go to standby mode.
Keep the TV away from these
types of equipment
Electronic equipment In particular, do not place video equipment near the TV (electromagnetic interference may distort images / sound). Equipment with an infrared sensor This TV also emits infrared rays (this may affect operation of other equipment).

Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Caution
The surface of the display panel has been specially treated and may be easily damaged. Do not tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard object. Take care not to subject the surface to insect repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances (this may degrade surface quality).

Caution
Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to detergent (a liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure). Take care not to subject surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances (this may deteriorate the surface by peeling the paint). Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time.

This function varies depending on the country you select (p. 12). DVB-T and Analogue channels are displayed on the same TV Guide screen. Analogue channels will be listed after DVB-T channels but there will be no programme listings. “D” means DVB-T channel and “A” means Analogue channel. When this TV is turned on for the first time, or the TV is switched off for more than a week, it may take some time before the TV Guide is completely shown.
