Caution

@The V-Chip system that is used in this set is capable of blocking "NR" programs (non rated, not applicable and none) as per FCC Rules Section15.120(e)(2).

If the option of blocking "NR" programs is chosen "unexpected and possibly confusing results may occur, and you may not receive emergency bulletins or any of the following types of programming:"

Technical Information

@For viewing Closed Caption of digital broadcasting, set the aspect ratio to FULL.

(If viewing with H-FILL, JUST, ZOOM or 4:3, characters will be cut off.)

@The Closed Caption is not displayed when you use HDMI connection.

@If analog connected equipment is used for displaying or recording, Closed Caption (CC) should be set On/Off on the connected equipment.

The CC mode setting of the TV will not affect the analog input.

If a digital program is being output in analog format, the CC data will also be output in analog format.

If digital connected equipment is used for input, CC should be set On on either the connected equipment or the TV.

If CC is set On on both the connected equipment and the TV, captions from each unit will overlap.

Lets you choose the aspect depending on the format of the received signal and your preference. (p. 21 )

(e.g.: in case of 4:3 image)

@FULL

I_ 4 _1

@JUST i.,-----4 _1 I.,-------16_1

Enlarges the 4:3 image horizontally to the screen's side edges.

@H-FILL i_ 4 _1 1_16 I

Stretches to justify the 4:3 image to the four corners of the screen.

(Recommended for normal TV broadcast)

@4:3

I..----4 ------_1

Enlarges the 4:3 image horizontally to the screen's side edges.

The side edges of the image are cut off.

FULL, H-FILL, JUST, 4:3 or ZOOM

@When the signal is 720p/1080i/108Op, the aspect mode automatically defaults to Full after turning off the TV, after changing input mode, or after changed signal resolution other than 720p/1080i/1080p.

Maintenance

First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.

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 diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent diluted by

100 times the amount of water) 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 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.

@Cleaning

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.

Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface coating. (If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)

@Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term contact with rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)
