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.

Do not burn or breakup batteries.

Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

•

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 in

• which neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, 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.

• values such as for the standard picture positions and sizes have already been stored in this unit. You can add up to eight PC input signal types that are not included in the list. Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 to 110 kHz and vertical

• scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, the image will not be displayed properly if the signals exceed 1,200 lines.) The display resolution is a maximum of 1,440 × 1,080 dots when the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 1,920 ×

• 1,080 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. The PC input terminals are DDC2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC2B-compatible, you

• will need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection. Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.

• There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible Mini D-sub 15P terminal.

• The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.

• Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.

• Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified

• frequency range. Component Input is possible with the pin 1, 2, 3 of the Mini D-sub 15P Connector.

• To use sync input VBS signals, use the connector which incorporates a 75-ohm termination resistance and which

• is available on the market, for the connection of the HD connector where the VBS signals are to be input. Change the “Component/RGB-in select” setting in the “Setup” menu to “Component”
