Important: One Federal Court has held that unauthorized recording of copyrighted TV programs is an infringement of U.S. copyright laws. Certain Canadian programs may also be copyrighted and any unauthorized recording in whole or in part may be in violation of these rights. · Unplug the PDP from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. · Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury. · Do not use the PDP where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc. · Do not place the PDP on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, table, or floor where it can fall. A falling PDP can cause serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the PDP. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the PDP and cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn. · Provide ventilation for the PDP. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the PDP on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the PDP on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you've followed the manufacturer's instructions for mounting. · Operate your PDP only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. · Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this PDP is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. TO PREVENT DAMAGE WHICH MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. 2 3 · Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won't be walked on or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit. · Unplug the PDP from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges. · Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal. · Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock. · Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the PDP. · Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the PDP, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and builtup static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. · Do not attempt to service the PDP yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: - when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged - if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit - if the PDP has been exposed to rain or water - if the PDP does not operate normally by following the operating instructions - if the PDP has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged - when the PDP exhibits a distinct change in performance · If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the PDP to normal. · When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit. · Upon completion of any service or repairs to this PDP, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the PDP is in a safe operating condition. · The PDP can properly operate in a temperature range of 32~104°F(0~40°C) and 80% humidity. Do not use in a hot and humid place. · Before moving the PDP equipped with speakers, separate the speakers from the PDP. If you move the PDP with the speakers attached, it may result in damage or injury. 4 5 Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing Wide screen format PDP Displays (16:9,the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video.The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format,or expanded to fill the screen if your model offers this feature and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on nonexpanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 5% of the total television viewing per week. Additionally,viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays,station logos,web sites or computer graphics and patterns,should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of PDP Displays that leave subtle,but permanent burned-in ghost images in the PDP picture.To avoid this,vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images,not stationary patterns or dark bars. On PDP models that offer picture sizing features,use these controls to view different formats as a full screen picture. Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven PDP aging as a result of format selection and use,as well as burned-in images, are not covered by your AKAI limited warranty.
