INSTALLATION
1Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the
operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer
to the operating instructions.
2Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords
and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service technician for
replacement.
3Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV set
where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.
4Do not use this TV set near water —for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.
5Avoid improper installation and never position the unit where good ventilation is impossible.
When installing this TV, distance recommendations must be maintained between the set
and the wall, as well as inside a tightly enclosed area or piece of furniture. Keep to the
minimum distance guidelines shown for safe operation.
6 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.
—The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient
space is available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling.
—The ambient temperature for using this TV is 0˚ to 40˚C (32˚ to 104˚F). Using the TV
outside of this range may lead to it not working correctly or being broken.
7If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection requirements for the grounding electrode.
8 inch/200 mm

LCT1480-001A_rev7 4 7/29/03, 11:03:17 AM

8An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
9TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow heat generated during
operation to be released.
Therefore:
—Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV set by placing it on a bed,
sofa, rug, etc.
—Never place a TV set in a “built-in”enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
—Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.
—Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat register.
10 To avoid personal injury:
—Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.
—Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV set manufacturer.
—Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.
—Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.
Use
11 Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet
openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or
electrical shock.
12 Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or an aerosol
cleaner.
13 Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for this purpose. Such
additions may result in a hazard.
LCT1480-001A_rev7 5 7/29/03, 11:03:18 AM

14 For added protection of the TV set during a lightning storm or when the TV set is to be left
unattended for an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna. This will prevent damage to product due to lightning storms or power line
surges.
15 A TV set and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the TV set and cart combination to overturn.
Service
16 Unplug this TV set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the TV set.
C. If the TV set has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the TV set does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the TV set to normal operation.
E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way.
F. When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance —this indicates a need for
service.
17 Do not attempt to service this TV set yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
18 When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify in writing that the
replacement parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use
of manufacturer’s specified replacement parts can prevent fire, shock, or other hazards.
19 Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV set, please ask the service technician
to perform the safety check described in the manufacturer’s service literature.
20 When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a picture
tube implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the TV set.
21 Note to CATV system installer.
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of
the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as practical.

LCT1480-001A_rev7 6 7/29/03, 11:03:18 AM

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 45.)
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 58).
Do not display static images or characters for long periods of time.
While an image is displayed With power OFF
Burn-in example
• Reduce PICTURE and BRIGHT on the PICTURE ADJUST menu (page 49) when viewing.
Do not view for long periods of time in the REGULAR mode (page 60).
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 54) or INDEX
function (page 55).
19:03 19:03
LCT1480-001A_rev7 7 7/29/03, 11:03:18 AM

WARNING
If Burn-in has occurred
If burn-in occurs, try the BURN-IN IMAGE REDUCER function (page 50). 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.

Notes:
•Green, blue and red are the most common colors for DVD cables. Some models may vary
colors. Please consult the user’s manual for your DVD player for more information.
•Be careful not to confuse the red DVD cable with the red audio cable. It is best to complete
one set of connections (DVD or audio output) before starting the other to avoid accidentally
switching the cables.
•You may also connect the DVD player to Input 1.
