Precautions
On safety · Operate the unit on 100 to 120 V AC or 220 to 240 V AC. · A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the rear. · Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. · Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more. · To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself. · When the unit is installed on the floor, be sure to use the retractable feet. On installation · Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes. · Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock. · When you install multiple equipment with the unit, the following, such as malfunction of the Remote Commander, noisy picture, noisy sound, may occur depending on the position of the unit and other equipment. On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel) · There may be some tiny black points and/or bright points on the PDP. These points are normal. · Do not display the same still image on the screen for a long time. Otherwise, an afterimage or ghost may appear on a part of the panel. Use the screen saver function to equalize use of the screen display. On cleaning To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleansers since these will damage the cabinet. As a safety precaution, unplug the unit before cleaning it.

On repacking Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit to another location, repack it as illustrated on the carton. If you have any questions about this unit, contact your authorized Sony dealer.
