Safety Precautions
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USE-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Warning
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Caution
To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert. Refer to the
identification/rating label located on the back panel of your product for its proper operating
voltage.
Caution
Using video games or any external accessory with fixed images for extended periods of time can
cause them to be permanently imprinted on the picture tube (or projection TV picture tubes).
ALSO, some network/program logos, phone numbers, etc. may cause similar damage. This
damage is not covered by your warranty.
The lightning flask with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

Installing the Plasma Display
Locating
• Avoid direct sunlight. Maintain adequate ventilation.
• The length of the system cable used to connect the Plasma Display and
the Set-Top Box is about 3 m (118 inches).
• Because the Plasma Display is heavy, be sure to have someone to help
you when moving it.
• Do not place anything on the top of the Media Receiver; it will not receive
enough ventilation and will not operate properly.
Note
Allow enough space around the upper and back parts when installing to ensure
ventilation around the backside of the Plasma Display.
Preparation
Connecting the cable between the PDP and the Set-Top Box:
• White connectors connect to the WHITE terminal on the Set-Top Box and
DVI terminal on the PDP.
• Black connectors connect to the BLACK terminal on the Set-Top Box and
DFP terminal on the PDP.
14
Page 15
Basic Operation
Turning on the power
Check that the AC switches on the back of the PDP and the Set-Top Box are
turned to “I”.
1. Press PWR on the Plasma Display and Set-Top Box. The power LED on PDP
and Set-Top Box light up in red to indicate standby mode.
2. Confirm that the STANDBY indicators light up red, and then press TV on the
remote control unit or STANDYBY/ON on the right side of Plasma Display to turn
the system on. The POWER ON indicators on the Plasma Display and Set-Top
Box light up blue.
Note
In this manual, “system” means the Plasma Display Panel and the Media
Receiver (Set-Top Box).
Turning off the power
Press PWR button on the remote control or STANDBY/ON button on the right
side of the PDP. The power LEDs on the PDP and the Set-Top Box turn red to
indicate standby mode.
CAUTION
Before disconnecting any system cables, turn the PDP off (put into Standby
Mode) and turn the AC switches to “0”.
Note
If the PDP is not to be used for a long period of time, unplug the AC cord from the
wall outlet.

Basic Operation
Using the Remote Control
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote sensor window.
Objects between the remote control unit and sensor window may prevent proper
operation.
Inserting batteries
Install batteries in the remote control unit before using:
1. Open the battery cover.
2. Insert the two AA size batteries supplied with the product. Place batteries
with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (-) indicators in the
battery compartment.
3. Close the battery cover.
Cautions regarding the remote control unit:
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose
the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high
humidity.
• Do not leave the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may
cause deformation of the unit.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote sensor
window of the Plasma Display is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In
such case, change the angle of the lighting or Plasma Display set, or
operate the remote control unit closer to the remote sensor window.
• If the remote control unit fails to operate Plasma Display System
functions, replace the batteries in the remote control unit.
