◼ When using the Plasma Display
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display.

  • Top of the Plasma Display is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries can happen if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the display could also result in heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its ventilation holes are blocked.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma Display.

  • Moving the Display with its cables attached might damage the cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.

Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

  • Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty.

  • Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it 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.

Note:
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.

Reduces 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 13-15), 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(Mini D-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.

Troubleshooting

Before you call for service, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as shown below.

Symptoms Checks
Picture Sound
Interference Noisy Sound

Fluorescent light
Normal Picture| No Sound| Volume
(Check whether the mute function has been activated on the remote control.)
No Picture|  No Sound| Not 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 Picture| Normal Sound| If a signal with a non-applicable colour system format, or frequency is input, only the input terminal indication is displayed.
No Colour| Normal Sound| Colour controls set at minimum level. (see page 22, 23)
COLOR SYSTEM (see page 35)
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 fluorescent light.Check whether the remote control designed specifically 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.

Troubleshooting / Maintenance
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 flicker.| Due to the characteristics of the system used to drive the panel, the edges may appear to flicker in the fast-moving parts of the images: This is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
The brightness on both sides of images in the 4:3 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 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-42PHD7UY, TH-50PHD7UY] 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.

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.
