Safety Precautions

Warning Handling the mains plug and lead
Insert the mains plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the mains plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause re.) Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible. Ensure the grounding pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock. An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.) Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause re or electrical shock.) Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the socket outlet. Do not place a heavy object on the lead or place the lead near a high-temperature object. Do not twist the lead, bend it excessively, or stretch it. Do not pull on the lead. Hold onto the mains plug body when disconnecting lead. Do not use a damaged mains plug or socket outlet.

Caution

When cleaning the TV unit, remove the mains plug
(Cleaning an energized unit may cause electrical shock.)

Remember not to keep still pictures on the screen for extended lengths of time
Such still pictures cause after-images on the plasma screen if they are displayed for a long time. These after-images are not considered malfunctions and are not covered by the warranty. Typical still images Channel number and unique logos Image displayed in 4:3 mode Video game Computer image
When TV will not be used for a long time, remove the mains plug
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still connected to a live socket outlet.
Allow sufcient space around the unit for radiated heat

7 (cm)

To decrease the chance of after-images, a screen saver will be automatically activated after a few minutes if there is no signal and if there is no operation in AV mode. (p. 29) The screen saver will be automatically deactivated when a signal is detected or an operation is executed.
If you nd any abnormality, remove the mains plug immediately!
(such as strange smell or smoke)
Do not block the rear air vents
Blocked ventilation by curtains, etc. may cause overheating, re or electrical shock.
Keep the unit away from these equipment
Electronic equipment In particular, do not place video equipment near the unit (electromagnetic interference may distort images / sound). Equipment with an infrared sensor This TV also emits infrared rays (this may affect operation of other equipment).

AC 220-240 V 50 / 60 Hz

Technical Information
Aspect Ratio HDMI connection
HDMI (high-denition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-denition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV unit and the equipment. HDMI-compatible equipment (1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable. HDMI is the world's rst complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard. If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (2). When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal. Audio settings can be made on the "HDMI1 input" menu screen. (p. 14) Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz

PC connection

A PC may be connected to this TV unit so that the PC screen is displayed and sound is heard from the TV. PC signals that can be inputted: Horizontal scanning frequency 31 to 69 kHz; vertical scanning frequency 59 to 86 Hz (more than 1,024 signal lines could result in incorrect display of the image). A PC adapter is not necessary for the DOS/V-compliant D-sub 15-pin connector.
The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard "16:9", black bands may appear at the top and bottom of the screen. If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the tracking of the VCR. (See the VCR manual.) To select the ratio manually: (Only "16:9" or "4:3" in PC mode)
