Safety Precautions
When using the Plasma Display
The Plasma Display is designed to operate on 220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma Display to overheat, which can cause re or damage to the Plasma Display.
Do not stick any foreign objects into the Plasma Display.
Do not insert any metal or ammable objects into the ventilations holes or drop them onto the Plasma Display, as
doing so can cause re or electric shock.
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Plasma Display. For any inspection,
adjustment and repair work, please contact your local Panasonic dealer.
Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection.
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 re. 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 modi cations 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 re 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, re or electric shock could result. After checking that

If the Plasma Display is moved while some of the cables are still connected, the cables may become damaged,
and re or electric shock could result.
Disconnect the power supply plug from the wall socket 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 becoming dusty.
If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in re.
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 re ected 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 ngernails 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.

Notes:
Due to space limitations, occasionally you may have trouble connecting Mini D-sub 15P cable with ferrite core to PC input
Terminal.
Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15 to 110 kHz and vertical scanning
frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, the image will not be displayed properly if the signals exceed 1,200 lines.)
• The display resolution is a maximum of 640 × 480 dots (TH-42PS9EK/S), 768 × 768 dots (TH-42PH9EK/S), 1,024
× 768 dots (TH-50PH9EK/S) when the aspect mode is set to “4:3”, and 852 × 480 dots (TH-42PS9EK/S), 1,024 ×
768 dots (TH-42PH9EK/S), 1,366 × 768 dots (TH-50PH9EK/S) when the aspect mode is set to “16:9”. If the display
resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to show ne detail with suf cient clarity.
The PC input terminals are DDC1/2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC1/2B-compatible, you
will need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection.
