1.2 INSTALLATION
1.2.1 HEAT DISSIPATION
If the heat dissipation vent behind this unit is blocked, cooling efficiency may deteriorate and temperature inside the unit will rise. The
temperature sensor that protects the unit will be activated when internal temperature exceeds the pre-determined level and power will
be turned off automatically.
Therefore, please make sure pay attention not to block the heat dissipation vent as well as the ventilation outlet behind the unit and
ensure that there is room for ventilation around it.
1.2.2 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Ensure that the minimal distance is maintained, as specified below, between the unit with and the surrounding walls, as well as the
floor etc. Install the unit on stable flooring or stands. Take precautionary measures to prevent the unit from tipping in order to protect
against accidents and earthquakes.
SPACE REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
1.2.3 FALL TIP PREVENTION MEASURES

1.3 PRECAUTIONS REGARDING PDP
1.3.1 PRECAUTIONS DURING NOTES FOR TRANSPORTATION
When transporting the unit, pressure exerted on the internal PDP
(Plasma Display Panel) due to improper handling (such as
tossing and dropping) may cause damages even when the unit
is carefully packed. To prevent accidents from occurring during
transportation, pay careful attention prior to delivery such as
through explaining the handling instructions to transporters.
Ensure that the following requirements are met during
transportation, as the PDP of this unit is made of glass and
therefore fragile:
(1) Avoid vibrations and impacts
The unit may be broken if it is toppled sideways even when
properly packed. Ensure that the unit is carried by at least
2 persons and pay careful attention not to exert any
vibration or impact on it.
(2) Do not place equipment horizontally
Ensure that it is placed upright and not horizontally during
transportation and storage as the PDP is very vulnerable to
lateral impacts and may break easily under such
circumstances.
During transportation, ensure that the unit is loaded along
the traveling direction of travel of the vehicle, and avoid
stacking them on one another.
For storage, ensure that they are stacked in 2 layers or less
even when placed upright.
1.3.2 RESIDUAL IMAGE / BURN-IN ON SCREEN
Like CRTs, "burn-in" may occur when a same image is
continuously displayed over an extended period of time.
As this may also shorten the life span of the PDP. Therefore, turn
off the display when not in use, scroll the screen, make use of
screen-savers, or allow even distribution on the display by
inverting the brightness, switching to complementary colors or
inserting animated images at periodic intervals.
As burn-in is more likely to occur with high brightness and
contrast settings, try to use neutral gradations or medium tone
colors.
Burn-in does not occur in the case of animated images.
When switching to another image after continuous display of the
previous image, residual images may become prominent, as
luminance in a part of the display is higher than the other parts.
This is not a defect but is because due to the discharge surface
of the lighted portion has become being relatively activated and
its luminance higher than the unlighted parts.
1.3.3 INFRARED RAYS
Near Near-infrared rays (800nm to 1000nm) are emitted from the
front of the panel, and this may give rise to malfunctions in
infrared remote controls or communication systems placed near
it. In this case, avoid direct infrared rays (and reflected rays in
some cases) from the screen by either changing the direction of
the unit or other infrared systems or securing a longer keeping a
distance from the screen.
1.3.4 OPTICAL FILTER (PANEL FILTER)
Avoid placing the unit under direct sunlight over a prolonged
period of time. This may cause the optical filter to deteriorate in
quality and color.
Clean the filter surface by wiping it softly lightly with outing
flannels a soft and lightly fuzz cloth (such as flannel).
Do not use solvents such as benzine or thinner to wipe the filter
surface. This may cause the filter to deteriorate in quality or the
coating on the surface to come off.
As the filter surface is fragile., do not scratch or hit it with hard
materials.
1.3.5 NOTES PRECAUTIONS FOR PEPLACEMENT OF
EXTERIOR PARTS
Take note of the following when replacing exterior parts (back
REAR COVER, FRONT PANEL, optical filter)
• Do not exert pressure on the front of the PDP (glass surface).
• Pay careful attention not to scratch or stain the front of the PDP
(surface) with hands.
• When replacing exterior parts, the front of the PDP should be
placed facing downward. Place a mat, etc. underneath to avoid
causing scratches to the front surface. However, never use
materials that are too soft (such as blanket cloth). If
replacement is made with the PDP surface facing downward
and in contact with the blanket, pressure may be exerted on
the PDP, thus causing damages to it.

2.5 TECHNICAL INFORMATION
2.5.1 PDP STRUCTURE AND CHARACTERISTIC
This unit uses the flat type panel PDP (Plasma Display Panel), instead of the conventional CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), as a display unit.
2.5.1.1 PIXEL (CELL) ARRAY
PDP is constructed by sealing the xenon, which emits neon and ultraviolet rays for discharging purpose, in between the electrodes
lay on the front glass substrate and rear glass substrate.
One pixel is composed of 3 RGB cells, with cell pitch of 0.304mm (1 pixel 0.912mm) horizontally and 0.693mm vertically.
The cell is arrayed in each RGB color as shown in Fig. 1. One pixel is formed by interlacing each RGB color cell.
One cell size is 0.299mm horizontally and 0.693mm vertically.
Fig.1
2.5.1.2 PIXEL DEFECTS
Though PDP is made by means of ultra precise technology, there are cases whereby not all pixels (cell) will function properly. In some
cases, there may be defective pixels that do not light at all or the ones that always light on.
There are 3 types of Pixel defects, [Bright Dot Defects], [Dark Dot Defects] and [Flicker Dot Defects], as defined respectively in the
following:
(1) BRIGHT FAULT
In this pixel fault, a cell that should not light originally is lighting on and off.
For checking this pixel fault, input ALL BLACK SCREEN and find out the cell that is lighting on and off.
(2) DARK FAULT
In this pixel fault, a cell that should light originally is not lighting or lighting with the brightness twice as brighter as originally lighting.
For checking this pixel fault, input 100% of each R/G/B colour and find out the cell that is not lighting.
(3) FLICKER FAULT
In the pixel fault, a cell that should light originally or not light originally is flashing on and off.
For checking this pixel fault, input ALL BLACK SCREEN signal or 100% of each RGB colour and find out the cell that is flashing on
and off.
