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 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 the screen when displaying a still image.

Height



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

install and operate there.

Heat on the top of the PDP TV



The top side of the product may be hot after long period of use as heat dissipates from the panel through the vent hole in the upper part of the product. This is normal and does not indicate any defect or operation failure of the product. However, children should be

prevented from touching the upper part of the product.

The product is making a ‘cracking’ noise.



A ‘cracking’ noise may occur when the product contracts or expands due to a change of surrounding environment such as

temperature or humidity. This is normal and not a defect of the unit.

Cell Defects



The PDP uses a panel consisting of 2,360,000(HD-level) to 6,221,000(FHD-level) pixels which require sophisticated technology to produce. However, there may be few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact on the performance of

the product.

Avoid operating the TV at temperatures below 5°C(41°F)



A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the PDP Panel.



Watching the PDP TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the left, right and centre of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Playing a DVD or a game console may cause similar effect to the screen. Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.

Afterimage on the Screen.



Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial afterimages.

To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.

Warranty



Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Installation



Be sure to contact an authorized service centre, when installing your set in a location with heavy dust, high or low temperatures, high humidity, chemical substance and where it operates continually such as the airport, the train station etc. Failure to do so may

cause a serious damage to your set.

Digital TV (DVB-T) Notice

1. Functionalities related to Digital TV(DVB) are only available in countries/areas where DVB-T (MPEG2 and MPEG4 AVC)

digital terrestrial signals are broadcasted or where you have access to a compatible DVB-C(MPEG2 and MPEG4 AAC) cable-TV service. Please check with your local dealer the possibility to receive DVB-T or DVB-C signal.

2. DVB-T is the DVB European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television and DVB-C

is that for the broadcast transmission of digital TV over cable. However, some differentiated features like EPG (Electric Program Guide), VOD (Video on Demand) and so on, are not included in this specication. So, they cannot be supported at this moment.

3. Although this TV set meets the latest DVB-T and DVB-C standards[August,2008], the compatibility with future DVB-T digital

terrestrial and DVB-C digital cable broadcasts cannot be guaranteed.

4. Some cable-TV providers may charge an additional fee for such a service and you may be required to agree to terms and

conditions of their business.

5. Some Digital TV functions might be unavailable in some countries or regions and DVB-C might not work correctly with all

providers.
