Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 7 Safety Precautions CAUTION This Plasma TV is for use only with the following optional accessories. Use with any other type of optional accessories may cause instability which could result in the possibility of injury. (All of the following accessories are manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.) • Pedestal (included) ............................................. TY-ST42PX5W (TH-37PX50U, TH-42PX50U) TY-ST50PX5W (TH-50PX50U) • Wall-hanging bracket (Vertical) ........................... TY-WK42PV2W • Wall-hanging bracket (Vertical) ........................... TY-WK42PV3U • Wall-hanging bracket (Angled) ........................... TY-WK42PR2U Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up. When using the Plasma TV Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma TV. • Top of the Plasma TV is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries can happen if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the TV could also result in heat damage to the object as well as to the TV if its ventilation holes are blocked. Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV. • Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock. Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning. • Electric shocks can result if this is not done. Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty. • Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth. This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays; therefore, it may affect other infrared communication equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV. Cleaning and maintenance The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth. • If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth, of the same type, until the surface is dry. • Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the surface may be ad- versely affected. If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. • If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth. • Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma TV. If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result. • Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC. Note: Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma TV. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 8 Installation The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance, video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply store. Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components require. Also determine the length of cable you will need. Receiver Location This unit is intended to be used with the stand or bracket. Consult your dealer for available options. Position for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the screen. Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range. Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture. Optional External Equipment Remote Control Battery Installation Precaution on battery use Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that will damage the remote control transmitter. Observe the following precautions: 1. Batteries should always be replaced as a pair. Always use new batteries when replacing the old set. 2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one. 3. Do not mix battery types (example: “Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”). 4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used batteries. 5.

Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit. Plasma Display panel Check • The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology; however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a malfunction. • Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma TV. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode. Note: The permanent after-image on the Plasma TV resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time. • The TV is fitted with a cooling fan to dissipate heat generated during normal use.
