Symptoms
Some parts of the screen
do not light up.
An after-image appears
Whirring sounds can be
heard from the display unit.
Plasma Display panel
Check
• The plasma display panel is manufactured using an extremely high level of
precision technology, however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be
missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a malfunction.
• 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 TV.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images,
teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode.
Note:
The permanent after-image on the Plasma TV resulting from fixed image use is
not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.
This product is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.
• The TV is fitted with a cooling fan to dissipate heat generated during normal
use. The rotating fan may cause a whirring sound but it is not a malfunction.
• The TV slightly consumes power and rotates the cooling fan even when
turned off in order to receive program guide data etc. through the Cable
CARD. The rotating fan may cause a whirring sound but it is not a malfunction.

Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions
This warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES NOT 
COVER normal wear and tear or cosmetic damage, nor does it cover markings or retained images on 
the picture tube resulting from viewing fixed images (including, among other things, letterbox pictures 
on standard 4:3 screen TV’s, or non-expanded standard 4:3 pictures on wide screen TV’s, or onscreen 
data in a stationary and fixed location).  The warranty ALSO DOES NOT COVER damages which 
occurred in shipment, or failures which are caused by products not supplied by the warrantor, or fail-
ures which result from accidents, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, 
faulty installation, set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer 
controls, improper maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, modification, or commercial use 
(such as in a hotel, office, restaurant, or other business), rental use of the product,  service by anyone

Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer, or damage that is attributable to acts of God.
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES EXCEPT AS LISTED UNDER LIMITED WARRANTY

DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, OR ARISING OUT OF ANY 
BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY.  (As examples, this excludes damages for lost time, cost of having

ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANT-
ABILITY, ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limita-
tions on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.

to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the warranty period, you may contact 
your dealer or Servicenter. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then write to the warran-
