Therefore, if there is input to the VIDEO and SVIDEO terminals at the same time, the S-VIDEO signal is displayed on the screen. If the S-VIDEO cable is not connected to the plasma display, the VIDEO signal will be displayed on the screen.

• 480i (interlaced) signals can be connected to the COMPONENT 1 and 2 terminals. Any of the following display formats: 480i, 480p (progressive), 1080i and 720p (progressive) signals can be connected to the COMPONENT 2 terminal. If one of these video signals is detected, the format of the input signal is displayed after the name of the current input terminal, as in the following manner.

OPERATING THE PLASMA DISPLAY

•A "No signal" message appears if there is no video signal and there is no message currently displayed on the screen for volume adjustment or the setup menu, etc. If there continues to be no video signal for more than 10 seconds, "No signal" slowly moves around the screen.
