adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.
Securely insert the power supply plug as far as it will go.
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall
socket is loose, they shall not be used.
Do not handle the power supply plug with wet hands.
Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the
plug body, not the cable.
Do not damage the cable, make any modifications to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any hot
objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fire and electric shock. If the power cable is
damaged, have it repaired at your local Panasonic dealer.
If the Plasma Display is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time, unplug the power supply plug
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 odour starts to come out
from the Plasma Display, immediately unplug the power supply plug from the wall outlet.
If you continue to use the Plasma Display in this condition, fire or electric shock could result. After checking that the
smoke has stopped, contact your local Panasonic dealer so that the necessary repairs can be made. Repairing the
Plasma Display yourself is extremely dangerous, and shall never be done.

If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in fire.
Pull the power cord plug out from the wall 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.

SERIAL Terminals connection
Notes:
• Use the RS-232C cable to connect the computer to the Plasma Display.
• The computer shown is for example purposes only.
Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
The SERIAL terminal is used when the Plasma Display is controlled by a computer.
The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interface specification, so that the Plasma Display can be controlled
by a computer which is connected to this terminal.
The computer will require software which allows the sending and receiving of control data which satisfies the conditions
given below. Use a computer application such as programming language software. Refer to the documentation for the
computer application for details.
Basic format for control data
The transmission of control data from the computer
starts with a STX signal, followed by the command,
the parameters, and lastly an ETX signal in that order.
If there are no parameters, then the parameter signal
does not need to be sent.
Notes:
• If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to wait
for the response for the first command to come from
this unit before sending the next command.
• If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, this unit
will send an “ER401” command back to the computer.

Image is expanded
For an elongated image
For a 4:3 image
4:3 will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size.
Zoom mode magnifies the central section of the picture.
16:9 will display the picture at its maximum size but with slight
elongation.
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.
The display will automatically become enlarged (depending on the
picture source), allowing you to view the picture at its maximum
size.
Notes:
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.
If adjusting the Picture V-Pos/V-Size in Panasonic Auto with 16:9
mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the mode,
the screen will return to a former adjustment.

pictures. There may also be a difference in the picture quality of the sub picture depending on the type of signals
displayed on the main picture and depending on the 2-picture display mode.
Due to the small dimensions of the sub pictures used for the picture in picture and picture out picture displays, these
sub pictures cannot be shown in detail.

Symptoms
Picture Sound
Before you call for service, determine the symptoms and make a few simple checks as shown below.
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.
Symptoms
The screen darkens slightly when
bright pictures with minimal
movements are shown.
It takes a while for the picture to
appear.
The edges of the images flicker.
The brightness on both sides of
images in the 4:3 mode changes.
Some parts of the screen do not
light up.
After-images appear
[for TH-50PHW7BX]
Whirring sounds can be heard from
the display unit.
Plasma Display panel
Check
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.
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.
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.
When viewing the side panels at the “High” 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.
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.
Interference Noisy Sound
Normal Picture No Sound
No Picture No Sound
No Picture Normal Sound
No Coloaur Normal Sound
No remote control operations can be performed.
A cracking sound is sometimes heard from the unit.
The top or bottom of the picture on the screen is cut off
when I use the zoom function.
Areas at the top and bottom of the screen where the image
is missing appear when I use the zoom function.
I can hear sounds coming from inside the unit.

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.)
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.
Adjust the position of the picture on the screen.
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.
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.
