Important Information
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued
operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts AC will
shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire
hazard.
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not drop.
3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct
sunlight.
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal
objects. In case of an accident, unplug the unit and have
it serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Service Center.
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recom-
mended to use a trained, authorized Mitsubishi dealer.
7. Only use tabletop stands or wall-mount brackets that are
designed specifically for this product.
8. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a
CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually
decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.
Recommendations to avoid or minimize uneven phosphor
aging:
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to
uneven phosphor aging under certain circumstances.
Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display
of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result
in uneven phosphor aging if proper precautions are not
taken. To protect your investment in this Mitsubishi plasma
TV, please adhere to the following guidelines and recom-
mendations for minimizing this type of damage:
*Do not turn off ORBITER. †
*Always enable and use your computer's, video game or
DVD player screen saver during use with these sources.
*Display a moving image whenever possible.
*Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
*Always power down the monitor when you are finished
using it.
† ORBITER - Uneven phosphor aging/burn-in reduction feature. To minimize the risk of uneven phosphor aging/burn-in when
displaying still images, the Mitsubishi PD-4225S offers a built-in feature known as ORBITER. The ORBITER feature inter-
mittently shifts the screen image horizontally and vertically in small increments. This intermittent screen movement is usu-
ally not evident in full motion video. In some instances the ORBITER shift might be evident while displaying static guides or
menus. The default setting for ORBITER is On. Mitsubishi chose this setting to help reduce uneven phosphor aging. Please
do not shut the ORBITER off. For more information regarding ORBITER, see page 34.
6 Plasma TV
If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous oper-
ation, take the following measures to reduce the likelihood
of uneven phosphor aging:
*Do not turn off ORBITER. †
*Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as pos-
sible without impairing image readability.
*Display an image with many colors and color gradations
(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).
*Create image content with minimal contrast between light
and dark areas. Use complementary or pastel colors when-
ever possible.
*Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.
NOTE:
Uneven phosphor aging/burn-in is not covered by the
warranty.
