About the detection switch
This unit adopt the "Rear Case opened ! detection" system.
During servicing, be sure to follow the instructions below.
Outlines and notes
The PDP-503HD-series models use digital signals for video
transmission from the Media Receiver to the Plasma
Display. To address the need for copyright protection,
content protection by HDCP is adopted.
Furthermore, the detection switch is equipped so that the
power can never be turned on again if the rear case of the
Plasma Display is opened without a specified procedure.
The detection switch does not work when the power is off or
when the unit is switched to Standby mode from the remote
control unit. Before servicing the Plasma Display,
immobilize this switch with an electrical tape or equivalent,
then turn on the power. Be sure to remove the tape after the
repair is finished.

keys of the remote control unit in that order. The unit
