IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
19) If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, 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 to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.
20) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
21) Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning instructions for your Plasma TV.
Safety note:
Before you begin to clean, turn the unit power off, and disconnect from the power source.
Be careful not to scratch the plastic coated front panel - it is highly vulnerable to accidental scratching (e.g. by
fingernails or other sharp items).
While cleaning, do not wear jewelry that could cause surface scratching (such as rings, wrist-watch, etc.).
Use a moist lint-free cloth and pure water to clean the Plasma TV, assure the cloth is only damp and not wet -
and that the cloth is free from any dirt particles that could cause scratches to the surface.
Wipe the set clean using minimal pressure.
DO NOT USE STANDARD WINDOW CLEANER! ITS ALCOHOL / AMMONIA WILL DISSOLVE THE FRONT
WINDOW'S COATING!! NEVER USE SOLVENT OR THINNER. NEVER USE SPECIAL CLEANERS WHICH
ARE DESIGNED FOR CLEANING PC MONITORS OR CRT TV’S.
Carefully dry with a clean dry lint-free cloth.
Do not use paper towels or tissues to clean the set - paper can disintegrate when wet or may leave a trail of
dust behind. Some paper is abrasive and may scratch your screen.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a
warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, player's performance will
be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or
make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air condi-
tioner. In such cases, change the location of the player.
27) Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious
personal injury and product malfunction.
28) This reminder is provided to call the cable TV 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 con-
nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

The unit emits heat when in operation. Do not place any covers or blankets on the unit, this may cause
overheating. Do not block ventilation holes, or set up near radiators. Do not place in direct sunshine. When
placing on a shelf leave 10 cm (4 inches) free space around the entire unit.
Notes when mounting the Plasma TV on a wall
•When installing the unit on a wall, allow at least 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) clearance between the rear of the Plasma
TV and the wall. Clearance of less than 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) will obstruct the vents and may cause the interior
of the unit to overheat, resulting in damage to the unit.
•If the unit is to be mounted on the wall, contact the retailer where you purchased the Plasma TV for advice,
and have the equipment professionally installed. Incomplete or improper installation may cause injury to you
and/or the Plasma TV.
•Bracket holes: To attach a wall mounting bracket (not supplied) here, remove the screws.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Possible Adverse Effects on Plasma Screen: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the plasma screen
for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the plasma TV panel and cause
subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never
leave your plasma TV on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:
•Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
•Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a
normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a
widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right sides of screen).
To avoid the engraining, we recommend that you use the screen saver function (see P.41).
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we disclaim
any responsibility for these symptoms.
•Plasma TV panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology,
however sometimes parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots.
This is not a sign of a malfunction.
•Do not install the Plasma TV near electronic equipment that is susceptible to electromagnetic waves.
Some equipment placed too near this unit may cause interference.
•Effect on infrared devices – There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared
cordless headphones.

If you subscribe to a Cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the
use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal Splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from
the Cable TV company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the
“B” position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune
your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler
box to tune scrambled channels.

This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV
Converter box. Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” where the signal is scrambled.
Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is
generally provided by the Cable TV company.
If you subscribe to a Cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the
incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm Coaxial Cable,
connect the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler box to the Antenna Jack on the TV. Follow the
connections shown below. Set the TV to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel
3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

Connections to other equipment
The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the Plasma TV is
dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the Owner's Manual provided with each
component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.
The connection diagrams below are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them to accommodate
your particular assortment of components. The diagrams are intended to show component video and audio
interconnections only.
To connect the Plasma TV to a VCR with an S-Video cord
If you connect a VCR with a S-VIDEO cord to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the rear of the Plasma TV , you must also
connect the audio cords to the AUDIO IN jacks on the rear of the Plasma TV. The S-VIDEO cord only carries the
video signal. The audio signal is separate.
NOTE:
When the S-video cord and the video cord are connected to each jack at the same time, the S-video cord takes
precedence over the video cord.
