Reduces power consumption
• POWER SAVE:When this function is turned ON, luminous level of the plasma display is suppressed, so
power consumption is reduced.
• STANDBY SAVE:When this function is turned ON, power consumption of the microcomputer is reduced
during power supply standby (see page 13-15), so standby power of the set is reduced.
• POWER MANAGEMENT: The unit power supply is turned ON or OFF depending on whether or not there is a signal
during PC input mode.
This function is enabled when it is turned ON. (Only during input from PC(Mini D-sub)
terminal)
• AUTO POWER OFF: Equipment power supply is turned OFF when there is no signal.
When this is set to On, the power supply of the unit goes Off 10 minutes after the input
signals stop.
This function is effective for input signals except input from PC (Mini D-sub) terminal.

Troubleshooting
Symptoms
Picture Sound
Before you call for service, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as shown below.
This Plasma Display uses special image processing. Hence a slight time lag may occur between image and audio,
depending on the type of input signal. However, this is not a malfunction.
Checks
No remote control operations can be performed.
A cracking sound is sometimes heard from the unit.
The top or bottom of the picture on the screen is cut
off when I use the zoom function.
Areas at the top and bottom of the screen where the
image is missing appear when I use the zoom
function.
I can hear sounds coming from inside the unit.
Check whether the batteries have discharged completely and, if
they have not, whether they were inserted properly.
Check whether the remote control sensor is exposed to an outdoor
light or a strong fluorescent light.
Check whether the remote control designed specifically for use
with the unit is being used. (The unit cannot be operated by any
other remote control.)
If there is nothing wrong with the picture or sound, this is the sound
of the cabinet undergoing very slight contractions in response to
changes in the room temperature.  There are no adverse effects
on the performance or other aspects.
Adjust the position of the picture on the screen.
When using a video software program (such as a cinema size
program) with a screen wider than one in the 16:9 mode, blank
areas separate from the images are formed at the top and bottom
of the screen.
When the power is turned on, a sound of the display panel being
driven may be heard: This is normal and not indicative of
malfunctioning.

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, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or 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.
•Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may become
damaged. 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 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.
•Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the 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.
Maintenance
Symptoms
The screen darkens slightly
when bright pictures with
minimal movements are shown.
It takes a while for the picture
to appear.
The edges of the images flicker.
The brightness on both sides of
images in the 4:3 mode
changes.
Some parts of the screen do not
light up.
After-images appear
Whirring sounds can be heard
from the display unit. Plasma Display panel
Check
The screen will darken slightly when photos, still images of a computer or other pictures
with minimal movements are shown for an extended period. This is done to reduce
after-image on the screen and the shortening of the screen’s service life: It is normal
and not indicative of malfunctioning.
The unit digitally processes the various signals in order to reproduce esthetically
pleasing images. As such, it sometimes takes a few moments for the picture to appear
when the power has been turned on, when the input has been switched or when the
images for the main picture and sub picture on the two screens are swapped.
Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the panel, the edges may appear
to flicker in the fast-moving parts of the images: This is normal and not indicative of
malfunctioning.
When viewing the side panels at the “BRIGHT” or “MID” setting, the brightness on
both sides may change depending on the kind of program shown: This is normal and
not indicative of malfunctioning.
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 Display.
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 Display 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 display unit is fitted with a cooling fan to dissipate heat generated during normal
use. The whirring sound is caused by rotation of the fan and is not a malfunction.
