Problems commonly mistaken as breakdown

Problem Possible Solution
The screen is displayed in a small size.	Check the input signal compatibility chart (page 31).Is the correct screen size selected? (pages 18, 22 and 23)
Letter breakup on screen.	Adjust using "SCREEN" mode on the menu screen (page 23).If there is still no improvement, this unit may be limiting the displayable range. Check the personal computer input signal compatibility chart (page 31).
A sharp sound is sometimes heard from the cabinet.	Expansion/contraction caused by surrounding temperature change may result in sound being heard from the cabinet. This is not a malfunction.
Bright portions of image appear to be losing intensity.	When the video input signal's level is too high, the bright portions may appear to be losing their intensity.Increase the adjustment level of the contrast and check the picture (page 21).
Speckles or noise appears on screen.	May be caused by radio wave interference from appliances with motors such as hair dryers, electric vacuum cleaners, electric power drills, ignition systems of cars, motorcycles etc., switch devises such as thermostats etc., neon signs or electrical discharge from power lines etc..
Stripes appear on the screen.	May be caused by radio wave mingling from TV station, FM station, amateur radios, public radios (simplified radios) etc., or a nearby personal computer, TV, or video/audio component.A strong electromagnetic field may cause picture distortion and similar problems.
Operation is not possible.	External influences such as lightning strike, static electricity etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the MAIN POWER ON/OFF, or unplugging the power cord and re-plugging it in after 1 to 2 minutes.
Sound is heard from inside the unit.	Normal sound of the cooling fan and internal sliding parts of the plasma display panel. Not a malfunction.
Fan isn't moving	Fan is set to operate only after ambient temperature exceeds 35°C (differs depending on installation conditions). Not a malfunction.
Fan speed changes.	Fan speed changes automatically in accordance with ambient conditions. Not a malfunction.

Although this unit incorporates high precision technology in its design, please understand that there may be extremely slight pixel breakup, or light emission fault.

Note

In order to protect the panel and internal circuitry, this display is provided with a cooling fan designed to turn on/off and change speed automatically in accordance with ambient temperature conditions (the fan sound will change in accordance with its speed).

Additional cautions

- If the power is automatically turned off during operation of this unit, the following reasons may be the cause.

①Is the POWER MANAGEMENT or AUTO POWER OFF function set to ON? (page 20).
②Is ambient temperature too high?
③The internal temperature has risen abnormally due to blocked cooling vents, overheating of internal electronic parts, or other factors.
④If the display is moved suddenly from a chilled location to a warm room, or if the room temperature rises suddenly, condensation may form on internal parts. To protect internal circuitry, the display is provided with a condensation detector that automatically disables power in event of internal condensation; in this case, allow the unit to dry thoroughly before using.

If the power is automatically turned off for a reason other than the above reasons, there could be a malfunction. In this case, unplug the power cord from the power outlet and request repair from your nearest sales outlet.

- The plasma display panel of this unit is very bright and viewing it a close distance will cause eye strain.

We recommend that you view the screen from a suitable distance (9.8 to 19.7 feet (3 to 6m)).

STANDBY/ON indicator

During operation of the Power Management function, the indicator will flash green at intervals of about 2 seconds (page 20). If the green light displays a flashing pattern other than the above, an error message is indicated.

Consult any onscreen messages (page 27) and check ambient conditions (temperature, condensation, etc.) and respond accordingly (page 28-29).

If the problem persists, disconnect the power plug and consult your dealer or a service center.

When STANDBY/ON is pressed to set the unit to the standby mode, the indicator will flash red for several seconds (page 16). Other than this, if the power turns off by itself, or refuses to turn on, or if the red indicator conditions flashing, a malfunction may be indicated.

Immediately disconnect the power plug and consult your dealer or a service center.

About the plasma panel's protection function

The brightness of this display will deteriorate slightly when an image with little movement such as a photograph or computer image is continuously displayed. This is caused by the plasma panel's protection function which detects images with slight movement and automatically adjusts brightness to protect the display, and is not a malfunction.

The screen-saver function begins operating when the display detects no or little screen movement for a period of about three minutes.

CAUTION

Panel sticking and after-image lag

- Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two cases.

1. After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still images and the time they had been displayed.
2. After-image (lag image) due to burning Avoid displaying the same image on the Plasma Display continuously over a long period of time. If the same image is displayed continuously for several hours, or for shorter periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent materials. Such images may become less noticeable if moving images are later displayed, but they will not disappear completely.
3. The power control function can be set to help prevent damage from screen burning (page 25).

Note

Special precautions must be employed when using the plasma display as a surveillance monitor or in other applications where a fixed image will be displayed for extended periods of time. Before using the monitor in such applications, consult your dealer for advice.
