e If water is spills onto the Wide Plasma Display or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could
resultin fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Wide Plasma Display, please consult an Authorized
Service Center,
If using the pedestal (optional accessory), leave a space of 3 1516" (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,

When using the Wide Plasma Display
The Wide Plasma Display is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
e Doing so may cause the Wide Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Wide Plasma
Display.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
e |f the plug is not fuliy 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.
e 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.
e 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 damages to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If damages

Safety Precautions
CAUTION
This Wide 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.
e Manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. Pedestal TY-ST42PT1U
e Manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. Wall stand TY-ST42PW1U
e Manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. Mobile stand TY-ST42PF1U

e Manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co, Lid. Wall-hanging bracket (angled) TY-WK42PR1U
® Manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. — Ceiling unit TY-CE42PS1U
Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
When using the Wide Plasma Display
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Wide Plasma Display.
e Top of Wide Plasma Display is usually very hot due to high temperature exhaust air from ventilation holes. Burns or
personal injuries can happen if any body parts 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 due to its ventilation holes blocked.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Wide Plasma Display.
e Moving the Display with its cables attached might damage the cables which in turn can cause fire or electric shock.
Cieaning and maintenance
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a soft, lint-
free cloth.
e |f the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in water to which a small
amount of neutral detergent has been added, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the
surface is dry.
e 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 thinners, otherwise the quality of the surface may be
adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
e If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added
and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the-cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
e Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Wide 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.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
e Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it becoming dusty.
e Built-up dust on power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug
the cord from wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
Note:
If still pictures from sources such as video games or computers are projected for long periods, the image may become
burned into the Wide Plasma Display panel (producing an “afterimage”).

1/8"(3mm) Stereo Plug
Connect a cable which matches
the audio output terminal on the computer.
Note:
(1) Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15.6 to 50 kHz and a vertical
scanning frequency of 50 to 75 Hz. (However, signals cannot be displayed if they have a horizontal scanning
frequency of less than 30 kHz and a vertical scanning frequency of more than 65 Hz, or a horizontal scanning
frequency of more than 40 kHz and a vertical scanning frequency of less than 55 Hz.)
(2) The display resolution is a maximum 640 x 480 dots when the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 852 x 480 dots when
the aspect mode is set to “16:9”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to show
fine detail with sufficient clarity.
(3) The PC input terminals are DDC1/2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC1/2B-compatible, you
will need to make setting changes at the computer at the time of connection.
(4) Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
(5) An adapter is required to use the PC cable (D-sub 15P) to connect a PC-98 series computer (which has a D-sub
15P termina!) or a Macintosh computer to the set.
(6) There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.
(7) The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
(8) Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
(9) The picture will become dark if a PC signal with a vertical scanning frequency of over 62 Hz is input. To obtain the
optimum picture quality with the Wide Plasma Display, a vertical scanning frequency of 60 Hz is recommended.
(10) Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified
frequency range.
