Heat

Do not touch the surface of the Plasma TV. It remains hot, even for some time after the Plasma TV is turned off.

Precautions

On viewing the Plasma TV comfortably

•To view the Plasma TV comfortably, the recommended viewing position is from four to seven times of the screen’s vertical length away from the Plasma TV.

•View the Plasma TV in a moderate light room, as viewing the Plasma TV in poor light taxes your eyes. And watching the screen continuously long times taxes your eyes, too.

On installing the Plasma TV

• Use the specified wall-mount bracket or stands. Leave enough space for ventilation between the exhaust fan in the rear of unit and the wall.

• Do not install the Plasma TV in places subject to extreme temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a radiator, or heating vent. If the Plasma TV is exposed to extreme temperature, the Plasma TV may heat up and it may cause deformations of the casing or malfunctions.

• Do not install the Plasma TV in a place exposed to direct air conditioning. If the Plasma TV is installed in such a location, moisture may condense on the glass or PDP panel inside the Plasma TV. It may cause a malfunction.

• After transporting the Plasma TV directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor color over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the glass or PDP panel inside the Plasma TV. Let the moisture evaporate before using the Plasma TV.

•To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting direct down from the ceiling.

On adjustment volume

• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble neighbours. Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

Page 6

On image retention

• If the following images are displayed for an extended period time, image retention (afterimage) in areas of the screen may result due to the characteristics of the Plasma Display Panel. – Black bars at the top and bottom that

appear with a wide video source (Letterbox picture).

– Black bars to the left and right that appear

with a 4:3 video source (conventional TV

broadcasts). –Video game sources – PC images – DVD on-screen menu displays – On-screen menus, channel numbers, etc., of

connected equipment such as Set top box,

Cable modem, VCR, etc. The risk of this is higher if the set is in “Dynamic” mode or has a high contrast setting. This image cannot be removed once burnt onto the screen. To avoid the risk of occurrence do not leave the TV set operating on such a picture, or program for a long time, use the “Screen Saver” function or lower the contrast setting. Repeated extended daily usage of the same image, or program can also result in this occurrence. IMAGE RETENTION IS NOT COVERED BY THE SONY WARRANTY.

•To reduce image retention, this Plasma TV has the “Screen Saver” function. The default setting of the “Orbit” function in “Screen Saver” is “On”.

On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel)

Please note that the PDP screen is made with high-precision technology. However, black points or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the PDP screen, and irregular colored stripes or brightness may appear on the PDP screen. This is not a malfunction.

On handling the remote control

• Handle the remote control with care. Do not drop or step on it, or spill liquid of any kind.

• Do not place the remote control in a location near heat source, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, or in a damp room.

On handling and cleaning the screen surface of the Plasma TV

The screen of this Plasma TV has an antireflection screen coating. To avoid screen degradation, follow the points mentioned below. Do not push on or scratch with hard objects, or throw anything at the screen. The screen may be damaged.

• Be sure to unplug the AC power cord connected to the Plasma TV from the AC power outlet before cleaning.

• Do not touch the display panel after operating continuously for a long period as the display panel becomes hot.

• The screen of this Plasma TV has an antireflection screen coating. We recommend not to touch much of the screen surface.

• Clean the screen with the supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine. This type of contact may result in damage to the screen surface.

On cleaning the cabinet

• Be sure to unplug the AC power cord connected to the Plasma TV from the AC power outlet before cleaning.

• Clean the cabinet with the supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.

• Note that material deterioration or screen coating degradation may occur if the Plasma TV is exposed to a volatile solvent, such as alcohol, thinner, benzine or insecticide, or if prolonged contact is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.

• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over a period of time. The accumulate dust may make the cooling function of the built-in fan less effective. To prevent this, we recommended removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
