Sony fwd-50px3 Operating Guide

 GB

• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power 

consumption, etc. is located on the rear of the unit.

• 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 you install the unit on the floor, be sure to use the 

optional stand.

• 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 problems, such as malfunction of the remote 
control, noisy picture, noisy sound, may occur depending 
on the position of the unit and other equipment.

• You may see some bright spots of red, blue or green 

remain, or dark spots appear on the screen. These do not 
indicate malfunction. Although the plasma display panel 
is manufactured with extremely high precision 
technology, it can generate a few dark or bright pixels. 
Dark spots on the edge of the screen, or striped color and 
brightness irregularities do not indicate malfunction.

• Because of the way it is made, when this plasma display 

panel is used in places with low air pressure, such as at 
high altitudes, a buzzing or humming noise may emanate 
from the unit.

• If you continue to display the same image on the screen for 

a long period of time, part of that image may burn into the 
screen and leave a ghosting image behind. To avoid this, 
please use the screen saver function provided to equalize 
use over the entire screen. If ghosting occurs, use the 
screen saver function, or use some kind of video or 
imaging software to provide constant movement on the 
screen. If light ghosting (image burn-in) occurs,it may 
become less conspicuous, but once burn-in occurs, it will 
never completely disappear.

• To protect the plasma display, this unit will not accept 

commands from the remote control or from the function 
buttons on the unit for a certain period of time after the 
unit has been switched ON/STANDBY. After one of these 
operations, wait about 8 seconds before entering a 
command.

• Be sure to unplug the power cord before cleaning the 

display.

• Gently wipe off stains using a dry, soft cloth. Wipe off 

grimy stains using a cloth slightly moistened with a mild 
detergent, then wipe the area again using a dry, soft cloth.

• Never use rubbing alcohol, benzine, thinner or insecticide 

for cleaning. They may damage the finish of the cabinet or 
can remove the markings on it.

The display panel’s special surface finish should be treated 
with care when cleaning or handling the display.
When cleaning it, use a soft cleaning cloth to avoid touching 
the panel directly.

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. 
When shipping the unit, repack it as illustrated on the carton.

If you have any questions on this unit, contact your 
authorized Sony dealers.
