Safety Precautions

WARNING

SMALL PARTS CAN PRESENT CHOKING HAZARD IF
ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED.
KEEP SMALL PARTS AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN.
DISCARD UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER
OBJECTS, INCLUDING PACKAGING MATERIALS AND
PLASTIC BAGS/SHEETS TO PREVENT THEM FROM
BEING PLA YED WITH BY YOUNG CHILDREN, CREA TING
THE POTENTIAL RISK OF SUFFOCATION.

Set up

Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable
surfaces.

• The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over.

Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma
Display.

• If water spills onto the Plasma Display or foreign objects
get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could
result in fi re or electric shock. If any foreign objects get
inside the Plasma Display , please consult an Authorized
Service Center.

Do not cover the ventilation holes.

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

If using the pedestal, leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm)
or more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8” (6 cm) or more
at the bottom, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear. If
using some other setting-up method, leave a space of
3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, bottom, left and
right, and 3/4” (1.9 cm) or more at the rear.
Avoid installing this product near electronic equipment
that is readily affected by electromagnetic waves.

• It may cause interference in image, sound, etc. In
particular, keep video equipment away from this
product.

AC Power Supply Cord

The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 120 V
AC, 50/60 Hz.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.

• If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated
which could cause fi re. If the plug is damaged or the
wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.

Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.

• Doing so may cause electric shocks.

Do not do anything that might damage the power cable.
When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug,
not the cable.

• Do not make any modifi cations to, place heavy objects
on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully
pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to
the power cable which can cause fi re or electric shock.
If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at
an Authorized Service Center.

If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period
of time, unplug the power cord 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 odor is detected from the
Plasma Display, unplug the power cord immediately.

Continued use of the Display under these conditions might

•
cause fi re or permanent damage to the unit. Have the
Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center . Servicing
of the Display by any unauthorized personnel is strongly
discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.

If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display , if
the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes
damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.

• A short may occur, which could cause fi re. Contact an
Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to
be made.

CAUTION

This Plasma Display is for use only with the following
optional accessories. Use with any other type of
optional accessories may cause instability which could
result in the possibility of injury.

(All of the following accessories are manufactured by
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.)

• Pedestal (included)
TY-ST42PX5W (TH-42PM50U)
TY-ST50PX5W (TH-50PM50U)

• Wall-hanging bracket (Vertical) TY-WK42PV3U

• Wall-hanging bracket (Angled) TY-WK42PR2U

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

When using the Plasma Display

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

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

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

• Moving the Display with its cables attached might
damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fi re 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 fi re. Unplug
the cord from the wall outlet and clean it 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 refl ected light from your Plasma Display.

Note:

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.

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
fi ngernails 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.

Accessories

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 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.

Installation

Location

This unit is intended to be used with the stand or bracket. Consult your dealer for available options. Position for
comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including refl ections) will fall on the screen.
Use of some types of fl uorescent 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

Cables that are not included in the package will need to be obtained separately.
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.
Press and slide off the battery

cover.

Helpful Hints:

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

Precaution on battery use

Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that will damage the remote control transmitter.
Disposal of batteries should be in an environment-friendly manner.

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.

5. Battery replacement is necessary when the remote control acts sporadically or stops operating the Plasma Display.

2.Install the batteries as shown in
the battery compartment.

(Polarity + or – must match the

markings in the compartment.)

Two AA size

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