INTRODUCTION6INTRODUCTIONWhat is a Plasma TV?Using plasma is the best way to achieve flat paneldisplays with excellent image quality and large screensizes that are easily viewable. The Plasma TV can bethought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and ora series of fluorescent lamps.How does it work?Plasma TV is an array of cells, known as pixels, whichare comprised of three sub-pixels, correspondingto the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in a plasmastate is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to produce colored light (red, green, or blue).These phosphors are the same types used inCathode Ray Tube (CRT) devices such as televisionsand common computer monitors.Plasma TV offers a rich, dynamic display becauseeach sub-pixel is individually controlled by advancedelectronics to produce over 16 million different col-ors. This means that you get perfect images that areeasily viewable in a display that is fewer than fiveinches thick.160° - Wide angle range of visionYour flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionallybroad viewing angle of over 160 degrees. This meansthat the display is clear and visible to viewers any-where in the room. Wide ScreenThe wide screen offers a theater-like experience inyour own home.Multimedia Connect your plasma display to a PC and use it forconferencing, games, and Internet browsing. ThePicture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PCand video images simultaneously.VersatileThe light weight and thin size makes it easy to installyour plasma display in a variety of locations whereconventional TVs do not fit.The Plasma TV Manufacturing Process: a fewminute colored dots may be present on thePlasma TV screenThe Plasma TV is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 millioncells. A few cell defects will normally occur in thePlasma TV manufacturing process. Several tiny,minute colored dots visible on the screen should beacceptable. This also occurs in other Plasma TVmanufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearingdoes not mean that this Plasma TV is defective. Thusa few cell defects are not sufficient cause for thePlasma TV to be exchanged or returned. Our pro-duction technology minimizes these cell defects dur-ing the manufacture and operation of this product.

INSTALLATION 12ATTACHING THE TV TO A WALLINSTALLATION We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards. Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,potentially causing injury or damaging the product. Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV. ■Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture. * If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately) onthe wall.
