WARNING/CAUTION  
If problems occur during use  
■
WARNING  
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if  
smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma  
TV, unplug the power cord immediately.  
SMALL PARTS CAN PRESENT CHOKING HAZARD IF  
ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED.  
KEEP SMALL PARTS AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN.  
DISCARD UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER OBJECTS,  
INCLUDING PACKAGING MATERIALS AND PLASTIC BAGS/SHEETS  
TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING PLAYED WITH BY YOUNG  
CHILDREN, CREATING THE POTENTIAL RISK OF SUFFOCATION.  
Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause  
fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the TV evaluated  
at an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by any  
unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its  
high voltage dangerous nature.  
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the  
Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged,  
disconnect the power cord plug immediately.  
A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an  
Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be  
made.  
Set up  
■
Do not place the Plasma TV on sloped or unstable surfaces.  
The Plasma TV may fall off or tip over.  
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV.  
If water spills onto the Plasma TV 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  
TV, please consult an Authorized Service Center.  
CAUTION  
Do not cover the ventilation holes.  
Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can  
cause fire or damage to the Plasma TV.  
If using the pedestal, leave a space of 3 15/16 ” (10 cm) or  
more at the top, left and right, 1 49/64 ” (4.5 cm) or more at  
the bottom, and 2 3/4 ” (7 cm) or more at the rear.  
This Plasma TV is for use only with the following optional  
accessories. Use with any other type of optional accessories may  
cause instability which could result in the possibility of injury.  
(All of the following accessories are manufactured by  
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.)  
• Wall-hanging bracket (Vertical) TY-WK42PV3U  
(TH-50PZ750U, TH-58PZ750U)  
• Wall-hanging bracket (Angled) TY-WK42PR3U  
(TH-50PZ750U)  
When using the Plasma TV  
■
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma  
TV.  
Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.  
Two or more people are required to install and remove the  
television. If two people are not present, the television may  
be dropped, and personal injury may result.  
Transport only in upright position!  
Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or  
downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.  
Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the  
cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.  
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet 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 from  
becoming dusty.  
Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity  
which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the  
cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.  
This Plasma TV 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 TV.  
Do not climb up onto the television or use it as a step.  
(Young children should be made particularly aware of this  
caution.)  
If the unit falls over or becomes damaged through misuse,  
injury may result.  
The TV will still consume some power as long as the power  
cord is inserted into the wall outlet.  
AC Power Supply Cord  
■
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.  
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 should not be used.  
The included power cord is for use with this unit only.  
Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV.  
Doing so may cause fire or electric shocks.  
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.  
Doing so may cause electric shocks.  
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When  
disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable.  
Do not make any modifications to, place heavy objects on,  
place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the  
power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable  
which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable  
is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.  
Notes  
To prevent “Image retention”,  
Do not display a still picture for a long time  
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen  
(“Image retention”). This is not considered a malfunction and is  
not covered by the warranty.

Maintenance  
First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.  
Display panel  
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, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent diluted by  
100 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface  
of the display panel, 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. Furthermore, avoid contact  
with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be  
adversely affected.  
•
•
Cabinet  
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution 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 TV.  
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.  
•
•
•
Pedestal  
Cleaning  
•
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to  
which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.  
Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface  
coating. (If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)  
Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term  
contact with rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)

Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions  
This Limited Warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES NOT COVER

examples, this excludes damages for lost time, cost of having someone remove or re-install an installed unit if  
applicable, or travel to and from the servicer. The items listed are not exclusive, but are for illustration only.) ALL  
EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE LIMITED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE  
LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.  
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how  
long an implied Limited Warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.  
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have others rights which vary from state  
to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the Limited Warranty period, you may contact your  
dealer or Service Center. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then write to the warrantor’s Consumer
