Never remove the back cover of the plasma television as this can expose you to very high voltages and other hazards. If the television does not operate properly,

unplug the plasma television and call your authorized dealer or service center.

Caution

Adjust only those controls that are covered in the instructions, as improper changes or modifications not expressly approved by HITACHI could void the user’s warranty.
