When using the Plasma Display

Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display.

• Top of the Plasma Display is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through

the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries can happen if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any

object near the top of the display could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its

ventilation holes are blocked.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display.

• Moving the Display 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.

Safety Precautions

Do not burn or breakup batteries.

• Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, ﬁre or the like.

This Plasma Display 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 Display.

Note:

Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent image retention to

remain on the Plasma Display.

Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.

WARNING

Setup

Do not place the Plasma Display on sloped or unstable surfaces.

• The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over.

Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma Display.

• If water spills onto the Plasma Display 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 Display, please consult an Authorized Service

Center.

Do not cover the ventilation holes.

• Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause ﬁre or damage to the Plasma Display.

Transport only in upright position!

• Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal

circuitry.

If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of 12.0” / 30 cm or more at the top, left and right,

and 8.0” / 20 cm or more at the rear, and also keep the space between the bottom of the display and the ﬂoor

surface. If using some other setting-up method, follow the manual of it. (If there is no speciﬁc indication of

installation dimension in the installation manual, leave a space of 12.0” / 30 cm or more at the top, bottom,

left and right, and 8.0” / 20 cm or more at the rear.)

An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing

connection.

AC Power Supply Cord

The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 200-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

Do not use any power supply cord other than that provided with this unit.

• Doing so may cause ﬁre or electric shocks.

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.

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, 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.

If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Safety Precautions

Cleaning and maintenance

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, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water in

which neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, and 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, otherwise the surface may

become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner,

otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

• If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been

added 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 Display. 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.

If problems occur during use

If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the

Plasma Display, unplug the power cord immediately.

• Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause ﬁre or permanent damage to the unit. Have

the Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are

strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.

If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display 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.

• Panasonic Auto mode is designed to automatically adjust the

aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material.

Certain 4:3 program material, such as stock market data screens,

may occasionally cause the image size to change unexpectedly.

When viewing such programs, it is recommended that the

ASPECT be set to 4:3.

• If adjusting the Picture V-Pos/V-Size in Panasonic Auto with

16:9 mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the
