Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma Display Monitory. • If water spills onto the Plasma Display Monitor 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 Monitor, please consult an Authorized Service Center. Do not cover the ventilation holes. • Doing so may cause the Plasma Display Monitor to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the Plasma Display Monitor. 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. AC Power Supply Cord The Plasma Display Monitor is designed to operate on 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 damages 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 Monitor is not in use 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 Monitor, unplug the power cord immediately. Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center.

ZOOM mode magnifies the central section of the picture. FULL will display the picture at its maximum size but with sight elongation. JUST mode will display a 4:3 picture at its maximum size but with aspect correction applied to the center of the screen so that elongation is only apparent at the left and right edges of the screen. The size of the picture will depend on the original signal. The display will automatically become enlarged (depending on the picture source), allowing you to view the picture at its maximum size. Note: AUTO mode is designed to automatically adjust the aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material. Certain 4:3 program material, such as stock market data screens, may occasionally cause the image size to change unexpectedly. When viewing such programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT be set to NORMAL. Notes: (1) Do not allow 4:3 mode to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma Display Panel. (2) The S-VIDEO terminal on this set can detect specially encoded signals that are compatible with a wide screen monitor.
