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. In order to prevent burn-in, the picture displayed on the screen is shifted up,
down and to the left and right at regular intervals. Refer to page 28 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, it is recommended to change the PICTURE MODE setting to either STANDARD or SOFT. Doing so will
reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the life of the PDP. See “PICTURE MODE” on page 21.
„ Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.
While an image is displayed

Burn-in example
• Reduce CONTRAST and BRIGHT on the PICTURE SETTING menu (page 21) when viewing.
„ Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 15).
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.
While an image is displayed
With power OFF
Burn-in example
„ Do not view for long periods of time using the PIP function (page 16) or MULTI-PICTURE function (page 17).
If Burn-in has occurred
If burn-in occurs, try the REFRESH function (page 28). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.
Note:Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Point defects
PDPs use collections of fine 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.
Failure to take the following precautions may cause damage to the television or remote control.
DO NOT block the TV’s ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
DO NOT place anything on top of the TV.
(such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.)
DO NOT allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the TV.
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 forcefully.
Never use any cleaner or detergent on it.
As both sides of speaker panel can be easily scratched, cleaning should be done
carefully. If the speaker panel is dirty, please wipe with a soft cleaning cloth

Troubleshooting
If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this “Troubleshooting” well before you request having the TV repaired.
You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the AC plug is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the TV aerial has
problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.
Important:
• This Troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose cause are not easy to determine. If a question arise when you are
operating a function, read the page(s) corresponding to the operation of the function well, not this Troubleshooting guide.
• After you have followed the Troubleshooting description or the operating description of the functions concerned without any
success, remove the AC plug from the AC outlet and request a repair of your TV. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or
remove the rear cover of the TV.
• When viewing images from commercially available
video software products, or videos from videotapes
which have been recorded improperly, the top of the
image may be distorted. This is due to the condition of
the video signal, and not because of malfunction.
„ If you cannot turn on the TV
• Are the AC plugs on the power cords from the TV and
receiver connected to AC outlets?
• Make sure to set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV
position. You cannot turn the TV on when the VCR/TV/
DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.
„ Poor sound
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not,
follow the description “Sound Adjustment” on page 24
to try to adjust them properly.
• When the TV channel reception is poor, it can be hard to
hear the stereo or bilingual sound. In this case, follow the
description “STEREO / I • II” on page 24 to hear the
sound more easily by changing it to a mono sound.
„ If you cannot turn off the TV
• Make sure to set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV
position. You cannot turn the TV off when the VCR/TV/
DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.
„ No picture/No sound
• Have you chosen a TV channel whose reception is
extremely bad? In this case, the BLUE BACK function
will be activated, the entire screen becomes blue, and the
sound is muted. In spite of this, if you want to view the
TV channel, follow the description “BLUE BACK” on
page 27 to try to change the BLUE BACK function
setting to OFF.
„ Operation disabled
• Have the batteries of the remote control become
exhausted? Follow the description “Putting the batteries
into the Remote control” on page 6 and replace them
with new batteries to try to solve the problem.
• Have you attempted to use the remote control at the sides
or rear of the TV or at a location more than seven meters
apart from the TV location? Operate the remote control
in the front of your TV or a location less than seven
meters from your TV to try to solve the problem.
• When you are viewing a teletext programme, you cannot
operate the menus. Press the b button to return the
teletext programme to the ordinary TV programme to try
operating the menus.
• If the TV suddenly stops responding, disconnect the
power cords of the TV and receiver from the AC outlets.
Connect them to the AC outlets again to turn on the TV.
If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.
• Have you set the SPEAKER function to OFF? Follow
the description “SPEAKER” on page 24 to confirm the
SPEAKER function setting to try to solve the problem.
• If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel is incorrect, it
may prevent the sound from being issued. Follow the
description “EDIT/MANUAL” on page 29 to use the
MANUAL function to try to change the SYSTEM
setting.
„ Poor picture
• If noise totally obscures the picture (snow), the aerial or
aerial cable may have trouble. Check the following to try
to solve the trouble:
Has the TV and aerial been connected properly?
Has the aerial cable been damaged?
Is the aerial pointed to the right direction?
Is the aerial itself faulty?
• If the TV or aerial receives interference from the other
devices, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move
such devices as an amplifier, personal computer, or a
hair drier that can cause interference away from your
TV, or try changing its location. If the aerial suffers
interference from a radio tower or high-voltage wire,
please contact your local dealer.
• If the TV receives interference from signal reflecting
from mountains or building, double-pictures (ghosting)
will occur. Try to change the aerial’s direction or replace
the antenna with the one with better directionality.
• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings for the TV
channels correct? Follow the description “COLOUR
SYSTEM” on page 23 to try to solve the trouble.
• Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been controlled properly?
Follow the description “Picture Adjustment” on page 21
to try to adjust them properly.
• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may
not record correctly.

Troubleshooting
„ Other concerns
• When the SLEEP TIMER function operates, the TV is
automatically turned off. If the TV is turned off
suddenly, try to press the # (Standby) button to turn on
the TV once again. At this time, if the TV resumes a
normal state, there is no problem.
• When a WSS signal is included in the broadcast signal or
the signal from an external device, or when the TV is
receiving a control signal from an external device, the
ZOOM mode will change automatically. When you want
to return to the previous ZOOM mode, press the c
button to choose the ZOOM mode again.
• It takes a short period of time from the time an operation
such as changing channels is performed until an image is
displayed. This is not a malfunction. This is the time
required for the image to stabilize before it can be
displayed.
• The TV may emit a crackling sound due to a sudden
change in temperature. It does not matter if a picture or
sound does not show any abnormality. If you hear
crackling sounds frequently while you are viewing the
TV, other causes may be assumed. For precautionary
purposes, request your service technician to inspect it.
• In the twin pictures mode the sub-picture may disappear
when the external device is operated. If this happens,
press the R button and display the sub-picture again.
• The headphone volume is adjusted with the
“HEADPHONE” menu. It cannot be adjusted with the
r (volume) q buttons.
• When TV SPEAKER in the “HEADPHONE” menu is
ON, even if the headphones are connected, sound is
emitted from the TV speaker. When you do not want to
emit sound from the TV speaker, turn the setting OFF.
• 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. This is to prevent burn-in and is not a
malfunction.
