•  High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Plasma Display. For any inspection, 
adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing 
connection.
Do not use any power supply cord other than that provided with this unit.
•  Doing so may cause fi re or electric shocks.
Securely insert the power supply plug as far as it will go.
• If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fi re. If the plug is damaged or the wall 
socket is loose, they shall not be used.
Do not handle the power supply plug with wet hands.
• Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the plug 
body, not the cable.
• Do not damage the cable, make any modifi cations to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any 
hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fi re and electric shock. If the power cable is 
damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.
If the Plasma Display is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, unplug the power supply plug

Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.
This Plasma Display radiates infrared rays, therefore it may affect other infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or refl ected light from your Plasma Display.
Cleaning and maintenance
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 in 
which neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, 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 fi ngernails 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.

Notes:
•  Due to space limitations, occasionally you may have trouble connecting Mini D-sub 15P cable with ferrite core to PC input 
Terminal.
•  Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 to 110 kHz and vertical scanning 
frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, the image will not be displayed properly if the signals exceed 1,200 lines.)
• The display resolution is a maximum of 1,440 × 1,080 dots when the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 1,920 × 1,080 
dots  when the aspect mode is set to “16:9”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible 
to show fi ne detail with suffi cient clarity.
•  The PC input terminals are DDC2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC2B-compatible, you will 
need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection.
•  Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
•  There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible Mini D-sub 15P terminal.
•  The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
• Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
• Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specifi ed 
frequency range.
•  Component Input is possible with the pin 1, 2, 3 of the Mini D-sub 15P Connector.
•  To use sync input VBS signals, use the connector which incorporates a 75-ohm termination resistance and which is 
available on the market, for the connection of the HD connector where the VBS signals are to be input.
•  Change the “Component/RGB-in select” setting in the “Setup” menu to “Component” 
  (when Component signal connection) or “RGB” (when RGB signal connection). (see page 41)
