The Plasma Display may fall off or tip over. · · · Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma Display. If water spills onto the Plasma Display or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, please consult an Authorized Service Center. Do not cover the ventilation holes. Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma Display. If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of 3 15/16" (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, 2 3/8" (6 cm) or more at the bottom, and 2 3/4" (7 cm) or more at the rear. If using some other setting-up method, leave a space of 3 15/16" (10 cm) or more at the top, bottom, left and right, and 3/4" (1.9 cm) or more at the rear. Avoid installing this product near electronic equipment that easily receives electromagnetic waves. It may cause interference in image, sound, etc. In particular, keep video equipment away from this product. · AC Power Supply Cord The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 110 - 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go. If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used. · Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shocks. · Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable. Do not make any modifications, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center. · If the Plasma Display will not be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If problems occur during use If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma Display, unplug the power cord immediately. Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature. · If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma Display, if the Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately. A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made. · 5 Safety Precautions CAUTION This Plasma Display 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.) · Speakers .........................................................

When using the Plasma Display Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display. Top of the Plasma Display 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 display could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its ventilation holes are blocked. · Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display. Moving the Display 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. 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 adversely 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 Display. 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 Display. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode. 6 Accessories Accessories Supplied Check that you have the Accessories and items shown Operating Instruction book Remote Control Transmitter EUR646525 INPUT SURROUND VOL Batteries for the Remote Control Transmitter (AA(R6) Battery × 2) AC cord N R PICTURE SOUND SET UP PICTURE POS. /SIZE ASPECT PC OFF TIMER PLASMA DISPLAY Ferrite core (small size) J0KF00000018 × 1 Ferrite core (large size) J0KG00000054 × 2 Fixing bands Optional Accessories · Speakers TY-SP37P4W-K , TY-SP37P5W-K (TH-37PW5) TY-SP42PM3W, TY-SP42P5W-S (TH-42PW5) · Pedestal · Ceiling unit TY-ST05-S TY-CE42PS1 · Scart/Component Terminal Board TY-37TM5T (TH-37PW5) TY-42TM5T (TH-42PW5) · Wall-hanging bracket (vertical) TY-WK37PV3 (TH-37PW5) TY-WK42PV1 (TH-42PW5) · Wall-hanging bracket (angled) TY-WK42PR1 (TH-42PW5) · Wall-hanging bracket (drawer type) TY-WK42DR1(TH-42PW5) For assembling Full instructions are supplied with each of the optional accessories for use with this Plasma Display. 7 Remote Control Batteries Requires two AA batteries. 1.
