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.
„ 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 25) 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.

Burn-in example
„ Do not view for long periods of time using the PIP function (page 20) or MULTI-PICTURE function (page 21).
If Burn-in has occurred
If burn-in occurs, try the SNOW NOISE function (page 33). If burn-in is minimal it may gradually become less noticeable.
Note: Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Setting up your TV
„ Preparing the subwoofer
Either stand the subwoofer vertically or lay it down on its side, peel the
paper from the supplied rubber feet, and stick the feet in the four corners on
the surface to be used as the base. The rubber feet prevent slipping and
resonance, and also protect the speaker cord.
Subwoofer
Rubber feet
Mounting example:
Subwoofer to be used
lying down
• The subwoofer is not designed to withstand electromagnetic fields. Furthermore, it vibrates in operation and should therefore
not be installed near equipment such as VCR, or equipment where it will be subject to vibration or electromagnetic fields.
Installation
Cautions for installation
• Do not tilt the TV towards the left or right, or towards the back.
• Install the TV in a corner on a wall or on the floor so as to keep cords out of the way.
• Grip the TV (not the front speakers) when moving or installing it after mounting the front speakers to the TV.
• The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient space is available around the TV to allow
satisfactory cooling.

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.
„ If you cannot turn on the TV
„ Poor sound
• Are the AC plugs on the power cords from the TV and
receiver connected to AC outlets?
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not,
follow the description “Sound Adjustment” on page 29
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 29 to hear the
sound more easily by changing it to a mono sound.
„ 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 32 to try to change the BLUE BACK function
setting to OFF.
• Have you set the SPEAKER function to OFF? Follow
the description “SPEAKER” on page 29 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 34 to use the
MANUAL function to try to change the SYSTEM
setting.
„ Operation disabled
• Have the batteries of the remote control become
exhausted? Follow the description “Putting the batteries
into the Remote control” on page 7 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.
„ 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:
• 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.
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 27 to try to solve the trouble.
• Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been controlled properly?
Follow the description “Picture Adjustment” on page 25
to try to adjust them properly.
• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may
not record correctly.
• 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.
41
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, 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 P button and display the sub-picture again.
• The headphone volume is adjusted with the
“HEADPHONE” menu. It cannot be adjusted with the
5 buttons or 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
