The explanation about noise of 60" PDP
In the same way that a fan is used in a PC to keep the CPU cool, the PDP is equipped with cooling fans to
improve the reliability of this product. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur when the fan is oper-
ated. This noise doesn't have any negative effect on its efficiency and liability and it's also determined to
have no difficulty while using this product. The noise from the fans is normal in the operation of this prod-
uct. We hope you will understand that a certain level of noise is acceptable. It means that it is not change-
able nor refundable.
The explanation about coloured dots may be present on PDP screen
The PDP which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells and a few cell
defects can occur in the manufacture of the PDP. Several coloured dots visible on the screen would be
acceptable, in line with other PDP manufacturers and would not mean that the PDP is faulty. We hope you
will understand that the product which corresponds to this standard is regarded as acceptable. It means
that it could not be changed or refunded.
We promise that we'll do our best to develop our technology to minimize the cell defects.
What is a Plasma Display ?
If voltage is inputted to gas in glass panels, ultraviolet rays is outputted and fused with a fluorescent substance.
At this moment, light is emitted. A Plasma Display is a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon.
160° - Wide angle range of vision
A Plasma Display provides more than 160° angle range of vision so that you can get a picture without dis-
tortion from any direction.
Easy installation
A Plasma Display is much lighter and smaller than other same class products so that you can install the
Plasma Display at the desired place.
Big screen
The screen of a Plasma Display is 60" so that you can get vivid experience as if you are in a theater.
Multimedia Plasma Display
A Plasma Display can be connected with a computer so that you can use it as a screen for conference,
game, internet and so on.
WARNING
This is Class B product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference
in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PROD-
UCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

After reading this
manual, keep it in
the place where
the user can
