Doing so may cause electric shocks. * Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the plug, not the cable. Do not make any modifications, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damages to the power cable which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center. * If the High Definition Plasma Display is not in use for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If problems occur during use If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the High Definition Plasma Display, unplug the power cord immediately. Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature. * If water or foreign objects get inside the High Definition Plasma Display, if the High Definition Plasma Display is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately. A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made. * 7 Safety Precautions CAUTION This High Definition Plasma Display is for use only with the following optional accessories. Use with any other type of optional accessories may cause instability which could result in the possibility of injury. (All of the following accessories are manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.) ................................................... TY-SP50PHD3W * Speakers.................................................... * Pedestal ................................................. TY-ST42PT1U TY-ST42PW1 * Wall stand .................. Wall-hanging bracket (angled) TY-WK42PR1 * Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up. When using the High Definition Plasma Display Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the High Definition Plasma Display. Top of High Definition 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 High Definition 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. * 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, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, 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. 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 a weak detergent solution 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 High Definition 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. * * * 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 High Definition Plasma Display. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode. 8 Accessories Accessories Supplied Check that you have the Accessories and items shown Operating Instruction book Remote Control Transmitter EUR646525 Batteries for the Remote Control Transmitter (AA(R6) Battery x 2) INPUT SURROUND VOL N R PICTURE SOUND SET UP PICTURE POS. /SIZE ASPECT OFF TIMER PC PLASMA DISPLAY Warranty RCA/BNC Adapter Plug Ferrite core KRCBC160928B Speaker Wire x 2 Optional Accessories * Speakers * Pedestal * Wall-hanging bracket * Connecting Cable TY-SP50PHD3W (angled) TY-WK42PR1 TY-ST42PT1U * Wall stand TY-ST42PW1 TY-SCP15C03 49.2 ft (15 m) 9 Remote Control Batteries Requires two AA batteries. 1.

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 NORMAL. Notes: (1) Do not allow 4:3 mode to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the Plasma Display Panel. (2) The S-VIDEO terminal on this set can detect specially encoded signals that are compatible with a wide screen monitor. When a full image from the S-VIDEO terminal of specially encoded video is detected by the set, the screen size is automatically set to FULL mode. 23 Adjusting PICTURE POS./SIZE Adjusting screen 1 ASPECT Press to select the screen mode to adjust (see page 23).

This is not a malfunction. Some parts of the screen do not light up 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 High Definition Plasma Display. Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer images, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode. After-images appear Whirring sounds can be heard from the display unit. 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. 33 Specifications TH-50PHD3 Power Source Power Consumption 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz Normal use Stand-by condition Power off condition Plasma Display panel Contrast Ratio Brightness Capability Screen size Max.
