Information of pixel defect

Plasma Display systems display images consisting of hundreds of thousands of minute pixels (light emitting cells), and there is a possibility of inactive, flashing or continually illuminated pixels.

Infrared rays

The Plasma Display releases infrared rays because of its characteristics. Depending on how the Plasma Display is in use, the remote controls of nearby equipment may be adversely affected or wireless headphones using infrared rays are interfered by noise. If this is the case, place that equipment at a location where its remote control sensor is not affected.

Radio interference

While this product meets the required specifications, it emits a small amount of noise. If you place such equipment as an AM radio, personal computer, and VCR close to this product, that equipment may be interfered. If this happens, place that equipment far enough from this product.
