Important Warranty Information Regarding PDP Format Viewing

Wide screen format PDP Displays (16:9,the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen if your model offers this feature and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on non-expanded standard format PDP video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of the total PDP viewing per week.

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described above for all PDP displays.

PDP Displays that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the PDP picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars.

User Instructions

◆ 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 display 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.

ENG

Connecting Speakers (continued)

Connect the speaker audio cable to the external speaker output jack on the rear of the PDP matching the “+” and “

” ends of the cable with the diagram on the PDP.

◆ The speakers MUST have to a power handling capability of 10 watts minimum

➢

(impedance 8Ω).

◆ When you connect the speaker wire to the external speaker out connector, first bind the speaker wire round the ferrite core to secure it.

Ferrite Cores

The ferrite cores are used to attenuate undesired signals. When connecting cables, attach one of these ferrite cores to the cable near the connector.
