    Troubleshooting
    Before you call for service, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as shown below.
    Symptoms
    Checks
    Picture Sound
    InterferenceNoisy SoundElectrical Appliances
    Cars / Motorcycles
    Fluorescent light
    Normal PictureNo SoundVolume
    (Check whether the mute function has been activated on the remote control.)
    No PictureNo SoundNot plugged into AC outlet
    Not switched on
    PICTURE and BRIGHTNESS/Volume setting
    (Check by pressing the power switch or stand-by button on the remote control.)
    No PictureNormal SoundIf a signal with a non-applicable color system format, or frequency is input, only the input 
    terminal indication is displayed.
    No ColorNormal SoundColor controls set at minimum level. (see page 22, 23)
    COLOR SYSTEM (see page 36)
    No remote control operations can be performed. 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 fl uorescent 
    light.
    Check whether the remote control designed specifi cally for use with the unit is being used. 
    (The unit cannot be operated by any other remote control.)
    A cracking sound is sometimes heard from the unit. 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.
    The top or bottom of the picture on the screen is cut 
    off when I use the zoom function.Adjust the position of the picture on the screen.
    Areas at the top and bottom of the screen where 
    the image is missing appear when I use the zoom 
    function.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.
    I can hear sounds coming from inside the unit. 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.
    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.
    Plasma Display panel
    Symptoms Check
    The screen darkens slightly when bright pictures with 
    minimal movements are shown.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.
    It takes a while for the picture to appear. 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.
    The edges of the images fl icker. Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the panel, the edges may appear to fl icker 
    in the fast-moving parts of the images: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
    The brightness on both sides of images in NORMAL 
    mode changes.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.
    Some parts of the screen do not light up. 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.
    After-images appearDo 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 NORMAL mode.
    Note:
    The permanent after-image on the Plasma Display resulting from fi xed image use is not an 
    operating defect and as such is not covered by the Warranty.
    This product is not designed to display fi xed images for extended periods of time.
    [for TH-37PHD8GK/S, TH-42PHD8GK/S]Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit.The display unit is fi tted 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.
