before cleaning. The product should be cleaned

only with a polishing cloth or a soft dry cloth. Never

clean with furniture wax, benzine, insecticides or

other volatile liquids since they may corrode the

cabinet.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY — Never push objects

of any kind into this product through openings as

they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-

out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

SERVICING — Do not attempt to service this product

yourself as opening or removing covers may

expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE — Unplug this

product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to

qualified service personnel under the following

conditions:

If this product is equipped with a polarized

alternating current line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet

only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are

unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,

contact your electrician to replace your obsolete

outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

polarized plug.

If this product is equipped with a three-wire

grounding type plug, a plug having a third

(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type

power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are

unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do

not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding

type plug.

When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the product.

ATTACHMENTS — Do not use attachments not

recommended by the product manufacturer as

they may cause hazards.

If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

If the product does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust only

those controls that are covered by the operating

instructions as an improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the product to its normal operation.

If the product has been dropped or damaged in

any way.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply cords

should be routed so that they are not likely to be

walked on or pinched by items placed upon or

against them, paying particular attention to cords

at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point

where they exit from the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an outside

antenna or cable system is connected to the

product, be sure the antenna or cable system is

grounded so as to provide some protection against

voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article

810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

70, provides information with regard to proper

grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,

location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode. See Figure A.

LIGHTNING — For added protection for this product

during a lightning storm, or when it is left

unattended and unused for long periods of time,

unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the

antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage

to the product due to lightning and power-line

surges.

POWER LINES — An outside antenna system should

not be located in the vicinity of overhead power

lines or other electric light or power circuits, or

where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.

When installing an outside antenna system,

extreme care should be taken to keep from

touching such power lines or circuits as contact

with them might be fatal.

near water — for example, near a bathtub, wash

bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet

basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

ACCESSORIES — Do not place this product on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The

product may fall, causing serious injury to a child

or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use

only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with

the product. Any mounting of the product should

follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should

use a mounting accessory recommended by the

manufacturer.

When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance — this indicates a need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement parts

are required, be sure the service technician has

used replacement parts specified by the

manufacturer or have the same characteristics as

the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may

result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK — Upon completion of any service

or repairs to this product, ask the service technician

to perform safety checks to determine that the

product is in proper operating condition.

HEAT — The product should be situated away from

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,

stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that

produce heat.

CART — A product and cart combination should be

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the product and

cart combination to overturn.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING — The product

should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as

recommended by the manufacturer.

VENTILATION — Slots and openings in the cabinet

are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable

operation of the product and to protect it from

overheating, and these openings must not be

blocked or covered. The openings should never

be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,

rug, or other similar surface. This product should

not be placed in a built-in installation such as a

bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is

provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have

been adhered to.

infrared remote control unit near this unit may hamper that

component’s reception of the remote control’s signal, or

prevent it from receiving the signal entirely. Should this

occur, move the component to a position further away from

this unit.

Note: The video signal will not be output from the

OUTPUT (INPUT1) terminal when the main power of

this unit is off or in standby mode.

(page 13)

¶ Depending on the installation surroundings, this unit’s

remote control unit may be influenced by the infrared rays

discharged from the plasma display, hampering reception of

its rays or limiting its operational distance. The strength of

infrared rays discharged from the screen will differ

according to the picture displayed.

Additional Information

General problems

Problem

Possible Solution

• Is the power cord disconnected? (page 15)

• No power

• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this

case, operate the unit after first turning the MAIN POWER on/off, or unplugging the power cord

and re-plugging it in after 1 to 2 minutes.

• Unit cannot be operated.

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (+, –) correctly aligned? (page 7)

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries).

• Is a plug connected to the CONTROL IN connector?

• Remote control does not

operate.

When a plug is connected to the CONTROL IN connector, the signal from that connector is given

priority, thus disabling the remote control signal receiver (page 15).

• INPUT is not changed.

• Is the selected screen size correct?

• Picture is cut off.

Switch to another screen size (page 21).

• Are SCREEN mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (pages 26–27).

• Is the Point Zoom function being used? (page 23)

• Adjust the picture tone (page 25).

• Strange color, light color, or

• Is the room too bright?

dark, or color misalignment

The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

• Is CLAMP POSITION setup correct? (page 18)

• Power is suddenly turned

off.

• The unit’s internal temperature has increased. (Air vents are blocked.)

Remove any objects blocking vent or clean (page 31).

• Is the POWER MANAGEMENT or AUTO POWER OFF function set to ON? (page 24).

• Condensation has formed on internal parts due to suddenly increasing ambient temperature.

Allow condensation to dry thoroughly before using.

• No picture

• Is connection to other components correct? (pages 12 to 14)

• Has setup been done correctly after connection? (pages 17 and 18)

• Is the correct input selected? (page 19)

• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (pages 12, 35 and 36)

• Is picture adjustment correct? (page 25)

Problems commonly mistaken as breakdown

Problem

Possible Solution

• The screen is displayed in a

small size.

• Check the input signal compatibility chart (pages 35 and 36).

• Is the correct screen size selected? (pages 21, 26 and 27)

• Letter breakup on screen.

• Adjust using “SCREEN” mode on the menu screen (page 27).

If there is still no improvement, this unit may be limiting the displayable range. Check the

personal computer input signal compatibility chart (pages 35 and 36).

• Expansion/contraction caused by surrounding temperature change may result in sound being

heard from the cabinet. This is not a malfunction.

• A sharp sound is sometimes

heard from the cabinet.

• Bright portions of image

appear to be losing intensity.

• When the video input signal’s level is too high, the bright portions may appear to be losing their

intensity.

Increase the adjustment level of the contrast and check the picture (page 25).

• May be caused by radio wave interference from appliances with motors such as hair dryers,

electric vacuum cleaners, electric power drills, ignition systems of cars, motorcycles etc., switch

devises such as thermostats etc., neon signs or electrical discharge from power lines etc.

• May be caused by radio wave mingling from TV station, FM station, amateur radios, public radios

(simplified radios) etc., or a nearby personal computer, TV, or video/audio component.

• A strong electromagnetic field may cause picture distortion and similar problems.

• External influences such as lightning strike, static electricity etc., may cause improper operation.

In this case, operate the unit after first turning the MAIN POWER ON/OFF, or unplugging the

power cord and re-plugging it in after 1 to 2 minutes.

• Speckles or noise appears on

screen.

• Stripes appear on the screen.

• Operation is not possible.

• Sound is heard from inside

the unit.

• Normal sound of the cooling fan and internal sliding parts of the plasma display panel. Not a

malfunction.

• Fan isn’t moving.

• Fan is set to operate only after ambient temperature exceeds 35°C (differs depending on

installation conditions). Not a malfunction.

• Fan speed changes.

• Fan speed changes automatically in accordance with ambient conditions. Not a malfunction.

Additional Information

Although this unit incorporates high precision technology

in its design, please understand that there may be

extremely slight pixel breakup, or light emission fault.

About the plasma panel’s

protection function

The brightness of this display will deteriorate slightly

when an image with little movement such as a

photograph or computer image is continuously displayed.

This is caused by the plasma panel’s protection function

which detects images with slight movement and

automatically adjusts brightness to protect the display,

and is not a malfunction.

Note

In order to protect the panel and internal circuitry, this display is

provided with a cooling fan designed to turn on/off and change

speed automatically in accordance with ambient temperature

conditions (the fan sound will change in accordance with its

speed).

Additional cautions

The screen-saver function begins operating when the

display detects no or little screen movement for a period

of about three minutes.

• If the power is automatically turned off during operation

of this unit, the following reasons may be the cause.

1 Is the POWER MANAGEMENT or AUTO POWER

OFF function set to ON? (page 24).

CAUTION

2 Is ambient temperature too high?

Panel sticking and after-image lag

3 The internal temperature has risen abnormally due to

blocked cooling vents, overheating of internal

electronic parts, or other factors.

• Displaying the same images such as still images for a

long time may cause after-image lagging.

This may occur in the following two cases.

4 If the display is moved suddenly from a chilled

location to a warm room, or if the room temperature

rises suddenly, condensation may form on internal

parts. To protect internal circuitry, the display is

provided with a condensation detector that

automatically disables power in event of internal

condensation; in this case, allow the unit to dry

thoroughly before using.

If the power is automatically turned off for a reason

other than the above reasons, there could be a

malfunction. In this case, unplug the power cord from

the power outlet and request repair from your nearest

sales outlet.

1.After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load

When image patterns with very high peak luminance are

displayed for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may

occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images

remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images

are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear

depends on the luminance of the still images and the time

they had been displayed.

2.After-image (lag image) due to burning

Avoid displaying the same image on the Plasma Display

continuously over a long period of time. If the same image is

displayed continuously for several hours, or for shorter

periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image

may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent

materials. Such images may become less noticeable if

moving images are later displayed, but they will not

disappear completely.

• The plasma display panel of this unit is very bright and

viewing it a close distance will cause eye strain.

We recommend that you view the screen from a

suitable distance (9.8 to 19.7 feet (3 to 6m)).

STANDBY/ON indicator

During operation of the Power Management function, the

indicator will flash green at intervals of about 2 seconds

(page 24). If the green light displays a flashing pattern

other than the above, an error message is indicated.

Consult any onscreen messages (page 31) and check

ambient conditions (temperature, condensation, etc.) and

respond accordingly (pages 32 – 33).

• The power control function can be set to help prevent

damage from screen burning (page 29).

Note

Special precautions must be employed when using

the plasma display as a surveillance monitor or in

other applications where a fixed image will be

displayed for extended periods of time. Before using

the monitor in such applications, consult your dealer

for advice.

If the problem persists, disconnect the power plug and

consult your dealer or a service center.

When STANDBY/ON is pressed to set the unit to the

standby mode, the indicator will flash red for several

seconds (page 19). Other than this, if the power turns off

by itself, or refuses to turn on, or if the red indicator

conditions flashing, a malfunction may be indicated.

Immediately disconnect the power plug and consult your

dealer or a service center.
