Safety Instructions

◆ Do not place the PDP on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, table, or floor where it can fall.

◆ Do not expose the PDP to extreme temperature conditions or to extreme humidity conditions.

◆ Do not expose the PDP to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

◆ Do not expose the PDP to any liquids.

◆ Never put objects of any kind into the television, and do not place a water-containing vessel on the

PDP.

◆ During a storm conditions (especially when there is lightning) unplug the PDP from the mains socket and aerial.

◆ Do not step on or twist the power cord.

◆ Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

◆ Please use a soft and dry cloth (not containing volatile matter) when you clean the PDP.

◆ If the PDP is broken, do not try to repair it yourself. Contact qualified service personnel.

◆ If the remote control is not used for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store it in a

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 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 Period: One year starting from the purchase of your PDP.

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

- Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Installing the Display on the Wall Attachment Panel

➢

Wall attachment panel is sold separately. Check with your dealer

1 Check for the stability of the wall where the PDP is to be installed. If the wall is not enough strong to

support the PDP, strengthen the wall before installation.

2 Fix the wall attachment panel on the

wall using bolts as shown in the figure: Fixing bolts must protrude from the wall appox. 1.5 cm.

3 Using the wall attachment panel, you may adjust the angle of the display from 0 to 20 degrees. The

angle can be set in 5 stages with 5 degrees of distance each using the angle control holes on the sides of the panel.

When the angle has been set to 5 degrees.

When the angle has been set to 15 degrees.

When the panel hasn't been tilted.

Connecting Speakers

Rear of the Media Station

➣

◆ The speakers MUST have more than 15watts rating (impedance 8Ω).

◆ The ferrite cores are used to attenuate undesired signals. When you connect the speaker wire to the

EXTERNAL SPEAKER OUT (8Ω) connector, bind the speaker wire round the ferrite core to secure it.

Connecting PDP and Speakers

Fix the bracket onto the guide pole located on the rear of speaker and fasten the screws. After removing the three screws on the PDP, clamp the speaker and the PDP together and fasten the screws.

Guide pole

➢

When moving your PDP, do NOT hold the speaker connected to your PDP. It may damage the bracket clamping the speaker and your PDP together and result in a drop of your PDP and a risk of personal damage and injury.

Connecting Stand and Speakers

Rear of the PDP

Connect the speaker audio cable to the external speaker output jack on the rear of the Media Station matching the “

” and “-” ends

of the cable with the diagram on the Media Station.

Connecting to an Aerial (or Cable Television Network)

To view television channels correctly, a signal must be received by the set from one of the following sources:

◆ An outdoor aerial

◆ A cable television network

◆ A satellite network

1 In the first three cases, connect the aerial or network input cable to

the 75Ω coaxial socket on the rear of the Media Station.

2 If you are using an indoor aerial, you may need to turn it when

tuning your television until you obtain a picture that is both sharp and clear. For further details, refer to:
