Warning
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable
for the power points in your home or the cable
is too short to reach a power point, then obtain
an appropriate safety approved extension lead
or adaptor or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off,
remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
If a new mains plug has to be fitted, then
follow the instruction given below:
Important

terminal which is marked with the letter E or
by the safety earth symbol
or coloured
green or green-and-yellow.

As these colours may not correspond with the
coloured marking identifying the terminals in
your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
When replacing the fuse, use only a correctly
rated approved type and always re-fit the fuse
cover.
If in doubt -- consult a competent
electrician.
How to replace the fuse

WARNING
Always use the power cords which are supplied with the TV.
Some power cords are supplied with this TV. Use the power cord which best suits the area in which
you live, and insert it into a correctly earthed outlet.
Failure to use the supplied power cord or to insert it into a correctly earthed outlet may result in electric
shocks.

Burn-in
A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) is that displaying the same image for a long time
causes a part of the image to stay on the screen (this is called phosphor burn-in).
Avoid burn-in as follows.
Use the PICTURE SHIFT function. To prevent burn-in, the picture displayed on the
screen is shifted up, down and to the left and right at regular intervals. See page 45
for details.
· Even if the PICTURE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture may shift to the left or right when
the channel or input is changed.
The PICTURE MODE function is initially set to BRIGHT. Unless the TV is being
watched in an extremely bright room, we recommend you change the PICTURE
MODE setting to either STANDARD or SOFT. Doing so will reduce the chance of
burn-in and extend the life of the PDP. See "PICTURE MODE" on page 29.
Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.
· Reduce CONTRAST and BRIGHT on the PICTURE menu (page 29) when viewing.
Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 18).
Screen size is normally chosen to ensure that the picture is displayed on the entire screen. After
viewing in the REGULAR mode in which black bands may occur at the left and right of the screen,
it is recommended to change to the PANORAMIC mode to display the picture on the entire screen.
Do not view for long periods of time using the MULTI-PICTURE function (page 20).
If Burn-in has occurred
If burn-in occurs, try the REFRESH function (page 37). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become
less noticeable.
Note: Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Pixel defects
PDPs use collections of fine dots ("pixels") to display images. While there is no problem with more
than 99.99% of these pixels, please understand that a very small number of pixels may not light, or
may light all the time.
Do not install the TV near electronic equipment that is susceptible to
electromagnetic waves
It may cause interference in images, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this
product.
Effect on infrared devices
There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.
The surface of the TV screen is easily damaged. Be very careful with it when handling the TV.
Should the TV screen become soiled, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never rub it hard.
Never use any cleaner or detergent on it.
In the event of a fault, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it
yourself or remove the rear cover.
