Precautions

On safety

•A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the rear of the unit.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.

• To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

•When you install the unit on the floor, be sure to use the optional stand.

On installation

•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.

•Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

•When you install multiple equipment with the unit, the following problems, such as malfunction of the Remote Commander, noisy picture, noisy sound, may occur depending on the position of the unit and other equipment.

On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel)

•You may see some bright spots of red, blue or green remain, or dark spots appear on the screen. These do not indicate malfunction. Although the plasma display panel is manufactured with extremely high precision technology, it can generate a few dark or bright pixels. Dark spots on the edge of the screen, or striped color and brightness irregularities do not indicate malfunction.

•Do not display the same still image on the screen for a long time. Otherwise, an afterimage or ghost may appear on a part of the panel. Use the screen saver function to equalize use of the screen display.

•Because of the way it is made, when this plasma display panel is used in places with low air pressure, such as at high altitudes, a buzzing or humming noise may emanate from the unit.

Precautions

• If you continue to display the same image on the screen for a long period of time, part of that image may burn into the screen and leave a ghosting image behind. To avoid this, please use the screen saver function provided to equalize use over the entire screen. If ghosting occurs, use the screen saver function, or use some kind of video or imaging software to provide constant movement on the screen. If light ghosting (image burn-in) occurs,it may become less conspicuous, but once burn-in occurs, it will never completely disappear.

• To protect the plasma display, this unit will not accept commands from the Remote Commander or from the function buttons on the unit for a certain period of time after the unit has been switched ON/ STANDBY. After one of these operations, wait about 5 seconds before entering a command.

On cleaning

•Be sure to unplug the power cord before cleaning the display.

•Gently wipe off stains using a dry, soft cloth. Wipe off grimy stains using a cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent, then wipe the area again using a dry, soft cloth.

•Never use rubbing alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning. They may damage the finish of the cabinet or can remove the markings on it.

Notes on handling and cleaning the display panel

The display panel’s special surface finish should be treated with care when cleaning or handling the TV. When cleaning it, use a soft cleaning cloth to avoid touching the panel directly.

On repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit, repack it as illustrated on the carton.

If you have any questions on this unit, contact your authorized Sony dealers.

SCREEN SAVER Function

If an image that does not change in brightness or a still image, such as the kind of image displayed on a computer, is displayed for a long time, an after-image (ghosting) may be burned into the display panel. To correct or lessen the severity of this problem, this unit is equipped with a screen saver function. There are four types of screen saver. “Pic. Inversion” reverses the color tone of the image, while “Pic. Orbit” changes the position of picture automatically. “All White” turns the screen all white for a certain period of time, while “Background” changes the brightness of background of the picture. If a picture showing less brightness fluctuations is displayed for more than 3 minutes, the unit gradually turns down the brightness level of the screen. Once the brightness of the image changes, the brightness level is gradually turned up.

Self-diagnosis Function

The unit has a self-diagnosis function. This function shows the display’s condition based on the pattern shown by the flashing of the POWER/ STANDBY indicator. The flashing pattern informs you of the display’s current condition. If the POWER/STANDBY indicator flashes, check the number of flashes and contact your authorized Sony dealer.

1 Check the flashing pattern of the POWER/

STANDBY indicator. The indicator flashes (with an image showing on the display) or flashes at intervals of three seconds (with no image showing on the display). Count the number of flashes if the indicator flashes at intervals of three seconds. For example, the indicator flashes twice, followed by a three second pause, two more flashes and this pattern repeats. In this case, the count for the number of flashes is two.

2 Unplug the unit.

Inform your authorized Sony dealer of the number of flashes.
