Wide
The Wide mode only affects displays that are greater than 4:3 aspect. If the picture is less than or equal to 4:3, this mode acts as if it is
in Normal mode. It is intended to display 4:3 images on a 16:9 panel with the least picture deformity. The center of the picture is left
unstretched. The left and right sides of the picture are stretched in a non-linear fashion with the areas of greatest distortion on the
extreme left and right edges of the picture. The top and bottom five percent of the picture are cropped.
Zoom
If the display aspect ratio is greater than 4:3, this mode fills the panel horizontally, cropping 10 percent off the top and bottom of the
picture. If the display aspect ratio is less than 4:3, this mode crops the picture by 16.5 percent on all sides and fills the panel with the
remaining picture.

Adjusting Parental Control Settings
Parental Control
This function allows video programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents children from watching
violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.
Restriction of video programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA rating and the TV Parental
Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and content.
Since a video program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete control.

Plasma Display panel
Troubleshooting / Care and Maintenance
Symptoms
Some parts of the screen do not light up.
After-images appear
Snapping sounds may be heard from the
display unit.
In DVI input mode, PIP, Split Screen or
POP3 is turned off and the Plasma
Display switches to VGA input mode.
Loss of signal or scrambled picture with
DVI input
Check item
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 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 Plasma Display.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and
images displayed in 4:3 mode.
Note:
The permanent after-image on the Plasma Display resulting from fixed image use is not
an operating defect.
This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.
This sound is produced when the cabinet expands or contracts due to variations in
temperature and is not a malfunction.
Go to the Input Menu (page 17) and switch the input to DVI.
Due to variances in DVI with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
standards associated with cable and satellite boxes, Polaroid recommends using the
Component Video (YPbPr) outputs from your cable/satellite box. Polaroid
recommends reserving the DVI input for other sources which also have DVI outputs
(i.e. DVD players, PCs).
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 fingernails 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.
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.
