Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.  
Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable surfaces.  
The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over.  
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma Display.  
If water is spills onto the Plasma Display or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result  
in fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, please consult your local JVC dealer.  
If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of at least 10 cm at the top, left and right, at least 6 cm  
at the bottom, and at least 7 cm at the rear. If using some other setting-up method, leave a space of at least 10  
cm at the top, bottom, left and right, and at least 1.9 cm at the rear.  
Avoid installing this product near electronic equipment that is easy to receive electromagnetic waves.  
It may cause interference in image, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product.  
When using the Plasma Display  
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 220 - 240 V AC, 50Hz/60Hz.  
Do not cover the ventilation holes.  
Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma Display.  
Do not stick any foreign objects into the Plasma Display.  
Do not insert any metal or flammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma Display, as  
doing so can cause fire or electric shock.  
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.  
High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Plasma Display. For any inspection,  
adjustment and repair work, please contact your local JVC dealer.  
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.  
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall  
socket plate is loose, they shall not be used.  
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.  
Doing so may cause electric shocks.  
Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the plug  
body, not the cable.  
Do not damage the cable, make any modifications to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any  
hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fire and electric shock. If the power cable is  
damaged, have it repaired at your local JVC dealer.  
If the Plasma Display is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, unplug the power cord plug  
from the wall outlet.  
5
Safety Precautions  
If problems occur during use  
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odour starts to come out  
from the Plasma Display, immediately unplug the power cord plug from the wall outlet.  
If you continue to use the Plasma Display in this condition, fire or electric shock could result. After checking that the  
smoke has stopped, contact your local JVC dealer so that the necessary repairs can be made. Repairing the Plasma  
Display yourself is extremely dangerous, and shall never be done.  
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet  
becomes damages, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.  
A short circuit may occur, which could cause fire. Contact your local JVC dealer for any repairs that need to be  
made.  
CAUTION  
When using the Plasma Display  
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display.  
Heated air comes out from the ventilation holes at the top of Plasma Display will be hot. Do not bring your hands  
or face, or objects which cannot withstand heat, close to this port, otherwise burns or deformation could result.  
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display.  
If the Plasma Display is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged,  
and fire or electric shock could result.  
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall socket as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.  
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.  
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it becoming dusty.  
If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fire.  
Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.  
This Plasma Display radiates infrared rays, therefore it may affect other infrared communication equipment.  
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma Display.  
Cleaning and maintenance  
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning  
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.  
If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water to  
which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same  
type until the surface is dry.  
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may  
become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner,  
otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.  
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been  
added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.  
Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma Display.  
If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.  
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the  
cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods  
in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.

– Cable fixing bands  
Secure any excess cables with bands as required.  
To secure cables connected to Terminals, wrap the  
cable fixing band around them then pass the pointed  
end through the locking block, as shown in the figure.  
While ensuring there is sufficient slack in cables  
to minimize stress (especially in the power cord),  
firmly bind all cables with the supplied fixing band.  
Pass the attached cable fixing  
band through the clip as  
shown in the figure.

Notes:  
(1) Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15.5 to 110 kHz and vertical  
scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, the image will not be displayed properly if the signals exceed 1,200 lines.)  
(2) The display resolution is a maximum 1,024 × 768 dots when the aspect mode is set to 4:3, and 1,366 × 768 dots  
when the aspect mode is set to 16:9. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to  
show fine detail with sufficient clarity.  
(3) The PC input terminals are DDC1/2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC1/2B-compatible,  
you will need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection.  
(4) Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.  
(5) There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.  
(6) The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.  
(7) Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.  
(8) Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified  
frequency range.

Symptoms  
Check  
The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision  
technology, however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture  
elements or have luminous spots. This is not a malfunction.  
Some parts of the screen  
do not light up.  
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause  
a permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma Display.  
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext  
and images displayed in 4:3 mode.  
Note:  
After-images appear  
The permanent after-image on the Plasma Display resulting from fixed image use  
is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.  
This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.  
Whirring sounds can be  
heard from the display unit.  
The display unit is fitted with a cooling fan to dissipate heat generated during normal  
use.The whirring sound is caused by rotation of the fan and is not a malfunction.
