Input signal that can be displayed
Technical Information
Do not display a picture in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause an after-image to remain on either or 
both sides of the display field.
To reduce the risk of such an after-image, change the brightness of the side bars.
• The side bar may flash (alternate black/white) depending on the picture. Using Cinema mode will reduce such 
flashing (See below).

Maintenance
Display panel
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.
Cabinet
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.
First, unplug the AC cord plug from the wall outlet.
Pedestal
• 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.)
