After-images appear Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit. Plasma display panel Checks 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. Symptoms Game console picture or similar is distorted. Picture is distorted during the function of play, rewind, fast- forward, or other operations of the VCR or similar. Checks There are some game consoles or similar that output different video signals from those regularly used. Distortion due to lack of synchronization may occur when such equipment is connected. However, this is not a malfunction. When AUTO is selected under Colour System of SET UP for Input Signals, the picture may not be coloured or may be distorted due to lack of synchronization, depending on the quality of the recorded signal. However, this is not a malfunction. On such an occurrence, select the appropriate Colour System for the input signal in use. Before you call for service, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as shown below. Symptoms Checks Electrical Appliances Cars/Motorcycles Fluorescent light Volume (Check whether the mute function has been activated on the remote control.) Not plugged into AC outlet Not switched on Contrast and Brightness/Volume setting (Check by pressing the Power Switch or stand-by button on the Remote Control.) If a signal with a non-applicable colour system format, or frequency is input, only the input terminal indication is displayed. Colour controls set at minimum level.
