Notes when mounting the Plasma Display on a wall

• When installing the unit on a wall, allow at least 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) clearance between the rear of the Plasma
Display and the wall. Clearance of less than 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) will obstruct the vents and may cause the
interior of the unit to overheat, resulting in damage to the unit.

• If the unit is to be mounted on the wall, contact the retailer where you purchased the Plasma Display for
advice, and have the equipment professionally installed. Incomplete or improper installation may cause injury
to you and/or the Plasma Display.

•Bracket holes: To attach a wall mounting bracket (not supplied) here, remove the screws.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Possible Adverse Effects on Plasma Screen: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the plasma screen

for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the plasma display panel and cause
subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never
leave your plasma display on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:

• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.

• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a
normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a
widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right sides of screen).

To avoid the engraining, we recommend that you use the screen saver function (see P.34).

The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we disclaim
any responsibility for these symptoms.

• Plasma display panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology,
however sometimes parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots.
This is not a sign of a malfunction.

• Do not install the Plasma Display near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves.
Some equipment placed too near this unit may cause interference.

• Effect on infrared devices – There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared
cordless headphones.

Closed Caption

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

This Plasma Display has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. Closed
Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers and may translate and display text in
another language if broadcast.

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the screen
in English or another language if broadcast. Generally, Closed
Captions in English are transmitted on C1 and Closed Captions in
other languages are transmitted on C2.
Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 1/2 of the screen
with a programming schedule or other information.

NOTES:

• If the program or video you selected is not closed-captioned, no captions will display on-screen.

• If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If this happens, set the
Closed Caption feature to “OFF”.

• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approx. 10 seconds.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the plasma Display will remain in the Caption Mode.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with
Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also
entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be seen but may
interfere with Closed Captions.

• Some Cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

Cleaning instructions for your Plasma TV.

Safety note:

Before you begin to clean, turn the unit power off, and disconnect from the power source.

Be careful not to scratch the plastic coated front panel - it is highly vulnerable to accidental scratching (e.g. by finger­nails or other sharp items).
While cleaning, do not wear jewelry that could cause surface scratching (such as rings, wrist-watch, etc.).
Use a moist lint-free cloth and pure water to clean the Plasma Display, assure the cloth is only damp and not wet - and
that the cloth is free from any dirt particles that could cause scratches to the surface.
Wipe the set clean using minimal pressure.

DO NOT USE STANDARD WINDOW CLEANER! ITS ALCOHOL / AMMONIA WILL DISSOLVE THE FRONT
WINDOW'S COATING!! NEVER USE SOLVENT OR THINNER. NEVER USE SPECIAL CLEANERS WHICH ARE
DESIGNED FOR CLEANING PC MONITORS OR CRT TV’S.

Carefully dry with a clean dry lint-free cloth.
Do not use paper towels or tissues to clean the set - paper can disintegrate when wet or may leave a trail of dust
behind. Some paper is abrasive and may scratch your screen.
