CART — A product and cart combination should be

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the product
and cart combination to overturn.

VENTILATION — Slots and openings in the cabinet

are provided for ventilation and to ensure
reliable operation of the product and to protect
it from overheating, and these openings must
not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the

POWER SOURCES — This product should be

operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your product dealer or local power
company.

LOCATION – The appliance should be installed in a

stable location.

NONUSE PERIODS – The power cord of the

appliance should be unplugged from the outlet
when left un-used for a long period of time.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

• If this product is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other), it will fit into the
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

• If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding type plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply

cords should be routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an

outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure A.

LIGHTNING — For added protection for this

product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES — An outside antenna system

should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

SERVICE
EQUIPMENT

Fig. A

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY — Never push

objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.

SERVICING — Do not attempt to service this

product yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE — Unplug this

product from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:

• When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to its normal operation.

• If the product has been dropped or damaged in
any way.

• When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance — this indicates a need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement parts

are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

SAFETY CHECK — Upon completion of any service

or repairs to this product, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper
operating condition.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING — The product

should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.

HEAT — The product should be situated away from

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other products (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.

Operation

Selecting Input Source

This section explains the basic operation of the plasma
display. Outlined on the following pages is how to turn
the main power on and off, put this display in the
operation or standby mode and how to select connected
components.

Before you begin, make sure you have:

•

Made connections between the plasma display and
AV components or personal computer as described in
the section “Installation and Connections” starting on
page 11.

• Set up the on-screen menu to input signals from
components connected to INPUT1, INPUT2 and
INPUT5 as described in the section “System Settings”
starting on page 20.
If no connections are made to these terminals,
on-screen setup is not necessary.

3 Press the INPUT button on the remote control unit

or the display to select the input.

Input changes each time the display’s INPUT button is
pressed as follows:

3 INPUT1 3 INPUT2 3 INPUT3

INPUT5 2 INPUT4 2

• When the menu screen is displayed, changing the
signal input will cause the menu screen to turn off.

• If the input computer signal is not supported by the
display, the following message will be displayed:

4 Use VOLUME (+/–) buttons on the remote control

unit or the display to adjust the sound volume.

If no audio connections are made to the plasma
display, this step is not necessary.

5 When viewing is finished, press the STANDBY/ON

button to put the display in standby mode.

6 Set the rear panel MAIN POWER switch to OFF.

The STANDBY indicator may continue to light for a
short while even after the main power is turned off.
This is a result of residual electric load impressed on
the circuitry, and the light will turn off presently.

Note

Please do not leave the same picture displayed on the screen for
a long time. Doing so may cause a phenomenon known as
screen burn which leaves a ghost, or residual, image of the
picture on the screen.
