damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue
use of the appliance, and have the cord
replaced with an exact replacement part by
an authorized servicer. Protect the power
cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such
as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a
door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention
to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where
the cord exits the appliance.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
What is a Plasma TV ?
Using plasma is the best way to achieve flat panel
displays with excellent image quality and large
screen sizes that are easily viewable. The Plasma TV
can be thought of as a descendant of the neon
lamp and or a series of fluorescent lamps.
How does it work?
Plasma TV is an array of cells, known as pixels, which
are comprised of three sub-pixels, corresponding to
the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in a plasma
state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-
pixel to produce colored light (red, green, or blue).
These phosphors are the same types used in
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions
and common computer monitors.
Plasma TV offers a rich, dynamic display because
each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced
electronics to produce over 16 million different col-
ors. This means that you get perfect images that are
easily viewable in a display that is fewer than five
inches thick.
160° - Wide angle range of vision
Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally
broad viewing angle of over 160 degrees. This
means that the display is clear and visible to viewers
anywhere in the room.
Wide Screen
The wide screen offers a theater-like experience in
your own home.
Multimedia
Connect your plasma display to a PC and use it for
conferencing, games, and Internet browsing. The
Picture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PC
and video images simultaneously.
Versatile
The light weight and thin size makes it easy to
install your plasma display in a variety of locations
where conventional TVs do not fit.
The Plasma TV Manufacturing Process: a few
minute colored dots may be present on the
Plasma TV screen
The Plasma TV is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million
cells. A few cell defects will normally occur in the
Plasma TV manufacturing process. Several tiny,
minute colored dots visible on the screen should be
acceptable. This also occurs in other Plasma TV
manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing
does not mean that this Plasma TV is defective.
Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for
the Plasma TV to be exchanged or returned. Our
production technology minimizes these cell defects
during the manufacture and operation of this product.
FOR LCD TV
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal,
there is nothing wrong with TV.
Some minute dot defects may be visible on the
screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots.
However, they have no adverse effect on the moni-
tor's performance.
Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s)
against it for long periods of time. Doing so may pro-
duce some temporary distortion effects on the screen.
On DDisposal
a. The fluorescent lamp used in this product con-
tains a small amount of mercury.
b. Do not dispose of this product with general
household waste.
c. Disposal of this product must be carried out in
accordance to the regulations of your local
authority.

ATTACHING THE TV TO A WALL
We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,
potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.
26LC2R*/32LC2R*42PC3RV*
■Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.
* If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately) on
the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.
Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.
■Use a sturdy rope (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase
separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes
horizontal between the wall and the product.
