left in standby mode
when not in use. Disconnect from the AC power
outlet.
Cable wiring
Take care not to catch your feet on the cables. It
may damage the Plasma TV.
Installation
Do not install optional components too close to
the Plasma TV. Keep optional components at
least 30 cm away from the Plasma TV. If a VCR is
installed in front or at the right side of the
Plasma TV, the picture may distort.
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.
5
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.
