•When using the pedestal, keep the space between the bottom of the TV and the fl oor surface.
•In case of using
ŶDo not block the rear air vents
•Blocked ventilation by newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fi re or electrical shock.
ŶDo not expose your ears to excessive volume from the headphones

Notes
Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen (“image retention”).
This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still images
•Programme number and other logos
•Image displayed in “4:3” mode
•Video game
•Computer image
To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered automatically after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are performed. (p. 47)
ŶAuto power standby function
•If no signal is received and no operation is performed in Analogue TV mode for 30 minutes, the TV will automatically go to standby mode.
ŶKeep the TV away from these types of equipment
•Electronic equipment
In particular, do not place video equipment near the TV (electromagnetic interference may distort images / sound).
•Equipment with an infrared sensor
This TV also emits infrared rays (this may affect operation of other equipment).
Maintenance
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
