Information of pixel defect

Plasma Display systems display images consisting of hundreds
of thousands of minute pixels (light emitting cells), and there is
a possibility of inactive, flashing or continually illuminated
pixels.

Infrared rays

The Plasma Display releases infrared rays because of its
characteristics. Depending on how the Plasma Display is in
use, the remote controls of nearby equipment may be adversely
affected or wireless headphones using infrared rays are
interfered by noise. If this is the case, place that equipment at a
location where its remote control sensor is not affected.

Radio interference

small amount of noise. If you place such equipment as an AM
radio, personal computer, and VCR close to this product, that
equipment may be interfered. If this happens, place that
equipment far enough from this product.

Plasma Display driving sound

The screen of the Plasma Display is composed of extremely fine
pixels and these pixels emit light according to received video
signals. This principle may make you hear buzz sound electrical
circuit hamming from the Plasma Display.

Also note that the rotation speed of the cooling fan motor
increases when the ambient temperature of the product
becomes high. You may hear the sound of the fan motor at that
