ANTENNA

Unless your Plasma Television is connected to a cable

TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good

outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best

performance. However, if you are located in an

exceptionally good signal area that is free from

interference and multiple image ghosts,

an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor

illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen.

Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free

flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the

set. In order to prevent an internal temperature

increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches) from the

sides/back of the Television, and 30 cm (12 inches)

from the top of the television to the wall. To avoid

cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased

chance of set failure, do not place the TV where

temperatures can become excessively hot, for

example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance,

etc.

/ .....i........

Caution when moving the main unit

As this product is heavy, whenever it is moved, two

people are required to transport it safely. Whenever the

unit is moved it should be lifted forward using the top

and base on both sides of the Television for stability.

When moving the Television, lift the handles (42"

models), support the top frame (55" models) and the

bottom frame as shown below. Do not grab the

speakers or the back cover when lifting.

CONNECT POWER SWIVEL CABLE

VIEWING

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of

the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen.

During daylight hours, reflections from outside light

may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens

can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can

be located in a different section of the room.

If the TV's audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi

system's external speakers, the best audio

performance will be obtained by placing the

speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver

cabinet and as close as possible to the height of

the picture screen center. For best stereo

separation, place the external speakers at least

four feet from the side of the TV, place the surround

speakers to the side or behind the viewing area.

Differences in room sizes and acoustical

environments will require some experimentation

with speaker placement for best performance.

original performance. Each voice, speaking or singing, each instrument or sound effect is presented with its

attendant harmonics or partials more clearly audible. The ear can then more easily recognize the unique tonal

colors of each sound as though the sound was being produced live.

IGNITIONNOISE:

Blackspotsorhorizontalstreaksmayappear,picturemayflutterordrift.

Usuallycausedbyinterferencefromautomobileignitionsystems,neonlamps,

electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the

direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other

objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve

reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such

as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without

using multiple antenna couplers.

SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the

signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots.

When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special

antenna to improve the picture.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some

cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

• PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS

This television has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent a problem to Radio

receivers. If this television causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:

- Keep the television away from Radio.

- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.

- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.

- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.

You can check if this television influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the television.

If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the instructions mentioned above.

BLOCK NOISE (DIGITAL INPUT):

Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is

usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,

electrical drills, ghosting of the image and weak signals.

BLACK SCREEN:

When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be

necessary to upgrade your antenna.

NOTE: The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio

equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.
