WARNING
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.
IMAGE SHIFT
The picture displayed on the screen is shifted up, down and to the left and right at regular
intervals. In order to prevent burn-in, set this function to FAST or STD. (Refer to page 43.)
Even if the IMAGE SHIFT function is turned off, the picture will shift to the left or right when the
channel or input is changed. This is only when the ASPECT function is in REGULAR mode.
VIDEO STATUS
The VIDEO STATUS function is initially set to DYNAMIC. Unless the TV is being watched in an
extremely bright room, it is recommended to change the VIDEO STATUS setting to standard,
theater or game. Doing so will reduce the chance of PDP burn-in and extend the life of the
PDP. (Refer to page 56).
ꢀDo not display static images or characters for long periods of time.
While an image is displayed
With power OFF
19:03
19:03
Burn-in example
• Reduce PICTURE and BRIGHT on the PICTURE ADJUST menu (page 47) when viewing.
ꢀDo not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 58).
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 PANORAMA 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 SPLIT function (page 52) or INDEX
function (page 53).

WARNING
If Burn-in has occurred
If burn-in occurs, try the BURN-IN IMAGE REDUCER function (page 48). 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.
The phenomenon described below is not a malfunction.
If the television is used at a location above an altitude of 2,000 m, a buzzing noise and image
distortion may occur. This phenomenon is peculiar to PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and could
occur with any television using PDP. It is not a malfunction.

S-Video Cable
Attach the ferrite core to the coaxial cable. Using
it without the ferrite core may lead to noise
(interference).
• Attach the ferrite core as close to the receiver
as possible.
Used to make video connections
with S-Video VCRs, Camcorders
and DVD players.
Please follow the flow chart below to determine which connection setup is right for you. Then,
refer to the appropriate diagrams to connect your receiver to other devices that you may have.
After you are finished connecting your devices, plug the power cord into the nearest power

the DTV decode digital-out terminal output setting to 1080i, 720p or 480p. For detailed
information, refer to the DTV decoder instruction manual. If you can not display the picture
because your DTV decoder does not have a digital-out terminal output setting, use the
component video input (or the S-Video input or video input). Refer to page 18. In this case
the picture will be displayed as an analog signal.
• The digital-in terminal is not compatible with the picture signal of a personal computer.
• Use a DVI-D single link 19-pin cable (commercially available) in order to digitally connect
the receiver with a DTV decoder.
If 480p signals (640x480 or 720x480) are displayed on the screen, the horizontal balance may
be slightly shifted. In cases such as this, the horizontal balance can be adjusted by accessing
“DIGITAL-IN” in the INITIAL SETUP menu. (Refer to page 42.)

Notes:
• Please refer to your AV Receiver instruction manual for more information on connecting
your speakers and other devices like a DVD player.
• Use your AV Receiver's remote to switch to the diferent devices you have connected.
• Some AV Receiver's may not respond when the V1 Smart Input funcion is turned on.
• If you have video connections for each input device connected to your AV Receiver, you
should not connect them using both S-Video and Composite connection at the same time
when you are using V1 input as the V1 Smart Input. In this case we recommend using the
S-Video connection.

V-Chip
Your TV is equipped with V-Chip technology which enables you to block channels or content
that you feel to be inappropriate for children, based on US and Canada rating guidelines.
V-Chip has no effect on video signals from a DVD discs, VCR tapes or Camcorder connection.
Note: Some programs, and movies are broadcast without a ratings signal. Even if you set
up V-CHIP ratings limits, these programs will not be blocked. See page 37 for information on
how to block unrated programs.
Note (for Canadian viewers): The V-Chip function is based on specifications designed for
the United States and therefore may not work properly in Canada.
You can customize the V-Chip settings of your television to match your personal tastes. The
V-Chip menu below is the starting point for your V-Chip settings.
You can use US V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from the United States),
Canadian V-Chip settings (for programming broadcast from Canada), and movie ratings. You
may use any or all of the settings (US V-Chip, Canada V-Chip, Movie ratings). Descriptions for

Movies Ratings
❒ NR – Not Rated
This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries

producers who didn’t intend to have their film widely released.
NR (Not Rated) Programming may contain all types of programming including
children’s programming, foreign programs, or adult material.
❒ G – General Audience
In the opinion of the review board, these films contain nothing in the way of sexual content,
violence, or language that would be unsuitable for audiences of any age.
❒ PG – Parental Guidance
Parental Guidance means the movie may contain some contents such as mild violence,
some brief nudity, and strong language. The contents are not deemed intense.
❒ PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned
Parents with children under 13 are cautioned that the content of movies with this rating
may include more explicit sexual, language, and violence content than movies rated PG.
❒ R – Restricted
These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for
unsupervised children under the age of 17.
❒ NC-17 – No One Under 17
These movies contain content which most parents would feel is too adult for their children
to view. Content can consist of strong language, nudity, violence, and suggestive or explicit
subject matter.

You hear occasional
crackling sounds
It is normal for the TV to make cracking sounds when first turned on or
off. Unless the sound or picture becomes abnormal, this is fine.
The following are not malfunctions.
• The television may make a creaking sound if the temperature of the room or the
temperature of the inside of the television changes. If there is no problem with the screen or
sound, then there is no need to worry.
• Although the picture may be temporarily disturbed and noise may be seen on the screen if
the power is turned on immediately after it has been turned off, this is not a malfunction.
• If the television is used at a location above 2,000 m, a buzzing noise and image distortion
may occur. This phenomenon is peculiar to PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and could occur
with any television using PDP. It is not a malfunction.

Warnings
Caring for the Cabinet
Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.
If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth,
slightly moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to
help remove spots of oily dirt.
DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.
DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.
DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV’s surface.
DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.
Caring for the Screen
When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.
Do not apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the
screen. These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.
