Clean the mains lead regularly to prevent it becoming dusty.

- If dust built up on the mains lead, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fire. Pull the mains plug out from the mains 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 reflected 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 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.

(3) The aspect mode is memorized separately for each input terminal (INPUT1, INPUT2, INPUT3 and PC IN).

Mode	Picture		Explanation
4:3			4:3 will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size.
Zoom			Zoom mode magnifies the central section of the picture.
16:9			16:9 will display the picture at its maximum size but with slight elongation.
Just			Just mode will display a 4:3 picture at its maximum size but with aspect correction applied to the center of the screen so that elongation is only apparent at the left and right edges of the screen. The size of the picture will depend on the original signal.
Panasonic Auto	For an elongated image	Image is expanded	The display will automatically become enlarged (depending on the picture source), allowing you to view the picture at its maximum size.Note:Panasonic Auto mode is designed to automatically adjust the aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material. Certain 4:3 program material, such as stock market data screens, may occasionally cause the image size to change unexpectedly. When viewing such programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT be set to 4:3.
	For a 4:3 image	Cwm3

Note: Do not allow the picture to be displayed in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma Display Panel.

Reducing 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 10, 11, 12), 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 (MiniD-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.

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
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 appear	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.
[for TH-42PHD6, TH-50PHD6]Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit.	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.
