Precaution  
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
• ENSURE that Plasma TV stand is tightened properly to the set (See Quick Guide) on the right way of tightening of  
the screw of the stand to the set. Improper tightening of screw may render the set unsafe.  
• If PlasmaTV is installed on the wall, installation should be carried out by qualified servicemen. Improper or incorrect  
installation may render the set unsafe.  
• Disconnect main plug when :  
— cleaning the TV screen, never use abrasive cleaning agents.  
— there is a lightning storm.  
— the set is left unattended for a prolonged period of time.  
• Do not shift or move the Plasma TV around when it is powered on.  
• Do not touch, push or rub the surface of the Plasma screen with any sharp or hard objects.  
• When the surface of the Plasma screen becomes dusty, wipe it gently with an absorbent cotton cloth or  
other soft material like chamois. DO NOT USE acetone, toluene or alcohol to clean the surface of the screen.  
These chemicals will cause damage to the surface.  
• Wipe off water or saliva as soon as possible. These liquids can cause deformation and color fading of the  
Plasma screen when left exposed for some time.  
• Be careful of condensation when temperature changes occur. Condensation can cause damage to the Plasma  
screen and electrically parts. After condensation fades, spots or blemishes will be present on the Plasma screen.  
POSITIONING THE PLASMA TELEVISION  
• Place the Plasma TV on a solid, sturdy base or stand. Be sure the stand is strong enough to handle the weight of  
the Plasma TV.  
• Try to leave at least 6” of space around each side of the Plasma TV cabinet to allow for proper ventilation.  
• Do not place the Plasma TV near a radiator or other sources of heat.  
• Do not place the Plasma TV where it can be exposed to rain or excessive moisture.  
RECYCLING PROCEDURE/END OF LIFE DISPOSAL  
• To minimize harm to the environment, the batteries supplied with the Plasma TV do not contain mercury or  
nickel cadmium. If possible, when disposing of batteries, use recycling means available in your area.  
• The Plasma TV uses materials that can be recycled. To minimize the amount of waste in the environment, check  
your area for companies that will recover used televisions for dismantling and collection of reusable  
materials, or contact your dealer for TV recycling tips.  
• Please dispose of the carton and packing material through the proper waste disposal management in your  
area.

Basic connections to the TV  
Your integrated digital TV automatically decodes and  
displays the four basic DTV picture resolution standards.  
- SDTV (Standard Definition TV) are broadcast as 480i  
(480-line interlaced) or 480p (480-line progressive scan)  
video.  
CABLE  
- HDTV (High-Definition TV) are broadcast either in the  
1080i or 720p formats, always with a widescreen picture.  
Note: Progressive scan video (p) is more like that you see in a  
movie theater. Images are much more distinct, free of flicker  
and motion is smoother.  
CABLE OR ANTENNA  
75  
Your TV has an integrated HDTV tuner, which receives and  
decodes terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled cable (QAM)  
signals and displays them. There are two ways to obtain  
HDTV content:  
- through a cable provider  
- through an antenna.  
Note: Use the illustrations on the left for cable or Antenna  
connections.

- Antenna  
Through an antenna, you can watch any HDTV programs  
that are broadcast in your area without paying fees.  
If you’re not sure what HDTV programming is available in  
your area, contact your local content provider or your  
local electronics retailer.  
CABLE OR ANTENNA  
Broadcasters are currently transitioning from analog to digital  
TV. This means that a given broadcaster will have two  
channels on the air, one analog and one digital.  
Connect the incoming antenna signal to the CABLE/  
75  
ANTENNA 75  
jack at the bottom of the TV.  
See page 14 for details on using Autoprogram to store  
channels in the TV’s memory.  
Note:This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is  
being broadcast by the station you are watching.  
- Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)  
Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels  
available on cable systems, often at a lower price. To view  
these channels, you’ll need to install a small dish antenna  
outside your home.  
The two main DBS systems, DirecTV and DishNetwork,  
require separate, proprietary set-top receiver boxes to  
decode their signals and send them to your digital TV set.  
These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for off-air DTV  
broadcasts.  
Satellite broadcasters also provide major local  
channels, depending on the market in which you live.  
DBS also provides service in areas not covered by cable  
because the are in rural areas or other areas not passed by a  
cable line.  
DBS also allows you to watch pay-per-view events.

Notes:  
• When you have locked TV channels before initiating Autoprogram, a message appears asking to enter your PIN code in  
order to complete Autoprogramming.  
• ATSC channel information is updated automatically when the TV is in standby after 3 minutes and every 3 hours thereafter.  
• When channel update is interrupted, the new updated channel information is retained along with the old un-updated  
channel information.  
• Background Autoprogramming occurs only when the TV is turned on.  
• Channel information about an ATSC channel is updated only for the ATSC channel currently tuned.  
• If an NTSC channel is tuned, then in Background Autoprogramming the TV shall scan all the possible ATSC frequencies  
and update information.  
• Weak channel installation allows you to manually tune weak ATSC channels in order to adjust the antenna and thus  
optimize signal quality for that channel. (See Installation menu, Weak channel installation, p. 14.)  
• Once you have searched for the available Antenna as well as the Cable TV channels, they are stored in the memory.  
• If Antenna/cable signal is interrupted more than ten minutes, TV will go into off mode. You are requested to press Power button  
or CH

Channel tuning  
Available channels:  
- Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM)  
- Terrestrial (analog NTSC or digital ATSC)  
If a tuned channel is not yet in the  
master channel map, the TV will attempt to tune to the  
channel and it will be added to the map.  
If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear reporting  
that the channel is not available. When you tune an audio-only  
digital subchannel, a display appears with the message Audio only.  
Note: Subchannel selections  
The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible  
to receive multiple program channels under a single major channel  
number which can be selected by pressing the digit remote control  
direct-access channel number entry.  
Note: Digital Channel selection delay  
Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel  
digital programming, the time to select and view  
a digital channel may take slightly longer than  
what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as  
compared to analog channel programs).  
Digital channel broadcasts contain program and  
system data information that must be processed  
before the channel selection can be displayed.  
Important:  
After the installation of the TV channels is completed, always  
make a selection in the Installation menu between Antenna or  
Cable whether you want to watch Antenna TV channels or Cable  
TV channels.  
If you make use of a signal splitter do not forget to put the switch  
in the corresponding position.  
Weak channel installation  
Antenna reception for broadcast channels may vary. If you are  
having difficulties acquiring weaker signals, we suggest  
you use: Weak Signal Installation feature.  
Here’s how:  
In the antenna mode, select a channel from the displayed list of  
TV channels. Select the “Start” by red button on the remote  
control; TV set will detect the signal.  
The signal strength is continuously displayed and updated as the  
2
antenna rotates.  
When strength is enough to identify, user can store the channel  
in the channel list by green button on the remote control.

Items to Check and Actions to follow  
“Ghost” or double  
images  
• This may be caused by obstruction to the antenna due to high rise buildings or hills.  
Using a highly directional antenna may improve the picture.  
No power  
• Check that the TV’s AC power cord is plugged into the mains socket.  
• Unplug the television, wait for 60 seconds. Then re-insert plug into the mains socket  
and turn on the television again.  
No picture  
• Check antenna connections at the bottom of the TV to see if they are properly connected to the TV.  
• Possible broadcast station trouble. Try another channel.  
• Adjust the contrast and brightness settings. Try another auto picture setting.  
• Check the Closed Captions control. Some TEXT modes could block the screen.  
• Check if you selected the correct AV source.  
No picture and power • Your TV has a protective mode in case there is too much heat build-up. Check the  
switched on  
clearance around the vents of the device to be certain there are no blocking walls or  
cabinets which would limit the air flow.  
Picture position  
adjustment  
When displaying a High Definition signal from the YPbPr inputs or HDMI input, if necessary, you can  
adjust the picture position to the center of the screen with the cursor left/right or up/down buttons on  
the remote control. This may be needed due to slight differences in output signals from different brands  
and types of HD sources boxes.  
Notes: Most High Definition receiver boxes also have picture-positioning controls in their menu  
systems. If the TV cursor controls run out of range before the picture is correctly positoned, the  
receiver box controls will need to be adjusted.

Examples of still pictures include logos, video games,  
computer images, and Teletext.

Care And Cleaning  
WARNING concerning stationary images on the TV  
Screen: Do not leave fixed images on the screen for extended periods of time. This can cause uneven aging of the Plasma  
panel. Normal use of the TV should involve viewing of programs that have constantly moving or changing images. Do  
not leave moving images on screen for extended periods of time. Do not display the same images too frequently; if you  
do, subtle “ghost” images can be left on the Plasmascreen. Sources of stationary images may be Laser discs, video games,  
Compact Discs Interactive (CD-i), paused Digital Video Discs (DVDs) or video tapes.  
Here are some common examples of stationary images:  
• DVD menus list DVD content.  
• Letter box black bars that appear at the top and bottom of the TV screen when a wide screen (16:9) movie is viewed  
on a TV with standard (4:3) aspect ratio. This occurs with some DVDs.  
• Video game images and scoreboards  
Television station logos cause a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are  
less likely to damage the picture tube.  
• Stock market tickers may appear at the bottom of the TV screen if the TV programming covers this news.  
• Shopping channel logos, pricing displays may be bright and may appear constantly during the show.  
These are usually apper in the same location on the TV screen.  
TV Location  
To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and an increased chance of TV failure, do not place the TV  
where temperatures can become excessively hot -- for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance.  
• Allow a free flow of air around the TV.  
Cleaning  
To avoid possible shock hazard, remove the TV’s power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.  
• Regularly dust the TV with a dry, non-scratching duster.  
• When cleaning the TV, take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface. Avoid wearing jewelry or using  
anything abrasive. Do not use household cleaners. Wipe the screen with a clean cloth dampened with water.  
Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.  
• Occasionally vacuum the vents on the rear of the TV.  
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet. They may permanently blemish  
the cabinet.
