Important !

◆ Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP) on the plasma monitor panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.

◆ Cell Defect

The plasma display panel consists of fine cells. Although the panels are produced with more than 99.9 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.

◆ Height

The PDP can normally operate only under 2000m in height. It might abnormally function at a place over 2000m in height and do not install and operate there.

◆ Warranty

-Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

-Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Connecting External Devices to the PDP

◆

To connect external devices such as a DVD or a Home Theater System to the PDP, please refer to following instructions:

1 Be sure to remove the safety pins underneath the PDP.

◆ If the safety pins are not removed, the angle cannot be adjusted. Any attempt to do so may cause damage to the PDP.

2 Pull out the bottom of the PDP (which has been attached to the Wall

Mount Bracket) in the direction indicated by the arrows (refer to the illustration) until it clicks.

◆ Using the PDP After Connecting External Devices. Be sure to secure the PDP by inserting the 2 safety pins after readjusting the angle of the PDP to 0

◆ For safety, be sure to secure the PDP using the safety pins. If the safety pins are not used, the PDP may fall, causing serious injury.

ENG

Connecting Speakers

1 Remove the screws on the rear of the PDP.

2 Hang the two “T” shaped hangers

on the square holes on the rear of the PDP.

3 Tighten the PDP and the speaker bracket using the screws removed from the PDP.
