Caution

Do not display a still picture for a long time

When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug

(Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.)

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.

Transport only in upright position

Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.

Do not block the rear air vents

Blocked ventilation by curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fire or electrical shock.

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

Channel 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. 40)

Auto 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.

Keep the TV away from these 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.

Display panel

Regular care: Gently wipe the surface clean of dirt by using a soft cloth.

Major contamination: Wipe the surface clean using a soft cloth dampened with clean water or diluted neutral detergent by 100 times of water. Then, using a soft dry cloth, evenly wipe the surface clean until it is dry.

Caution

The surface of the display panel has been specially treated and may be easily damaged. Do not tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard object.

Use care not to subject the surface to bug repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances (this may degrade surface quality).

Cabinet

Regular care: Wipe the surface clean using a soft dry cloth.

Major contamination: Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or water containing a small amount of neutral detergent. Then, wring the cloth and wipe the surface clean with it. Finally, wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth.

Caution

Use care not to subject the TV's surfaces to detergent. (A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.)

Use care not to subject surfaces to bug repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances (this may deteriorate the surface by peeling the paint).

Do not allow the cabinet to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time.

Mains plug

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.)
