SELECT button. Each time you switch the input, the name of

the selected input terminal is displayed on the screen for approximately 4 seconds.

NOTE:

• "No signal" is displayed on the screen if there is no input from the selected terminal and there is

no message currently displayed on the screen for volume adjustment or the setup menu, etc.

• If there is no video signal and there has been no operation from the remote control or the buttons on the main unit for more than 15 minutes, the

auto shut-off function activates and the display switches to standby mode.

3 Adjust the volume and screen size according

to your requirements. Perform adjustments to the volume (VOL • / •

button), screen aspect ratio (SCREEN MODE button) and picture settings (MENU button).

Preventing Image Burn on the plasma display

Fixed images displayed on the plasma display for an extended period of several hours may cause uneven pixel aging causing damage to the plasma display. The screensaver mode helps reduce this phenomenon, but in general you should try to avoid displaying fixed images for extended periods on

the plasma display.

Images of high luminance displayed on the plasma display for more than 60 seconds may cause lin- gering images to remain on the screen. These images will automatically disappear, but may take time depending on the luminance of the images and how long they were displayed on the screen.

IOUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

.........................................................."IGNITION NOISE:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.

Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon

lamps, electrical drills and other electrical appliances.

"GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal folIowing two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected from tail buildings, hills or some

other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such as unshieIded leads or connecting several sets to

the same antenna without using multiple antenna coupIers. Ghosting occurring when the plasma dispIay is connected to a cable TV system may indicate a bad cable wire or loose connection. Confirm that

the cable wire is properly connected.

,,SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where

the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance ofsmall dots. When the signal is extremeIy weak, it may be necessary to

.......... insta!I a special antenna to improve the picture.

Snowing occurring when the plasma display is connected to a cable TV system may indicate a bad cable wire or loose connection. Confirm that

the cable wire is properly connected.

Verticat stripes appear, depending on the screen

contents.

,,RADIO FREQUENCY iNTERFERENCE:

The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks and in some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

,,PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS:

This monitor has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rubs. This is to prevent a problem to Radio receivers. If this monitor causes a

problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:

-Keep the monitor away from Radio. °Adjust Radio antennas in order for the monitor not to receive

interference.

-The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the monitor.

-Use a coaxial cable for antenna.

You can check if this monitor influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the monitor.

If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the monitor, check the

instructions mentioned above.

,,The plasma display panel is Iighting the phosphors by the discharge of

internal radiation. Depending on the screen contents, in rare cases this may cause vertical stripes to appear because of failure to light. Please

note that this is not a malfunction.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

CHECK THESE ITEMS AND TRY THESE CORRECTIONS

Be sure external connections are correct.

Be sure power cable is plugged in.

Besurethe Display is powerswitched "ON"

Check for local interference

Adjust Contrast control

Adjust Bright control

Adjust Color control

Adjust Tint control

Adjust Volume control Check batteries in Remote control

It is a characteristic of a Plasma Display.

About Interference to Infrared Devices

Please note in advance that using other infrared devices (such as infrared cordless headphones)

near the plasma display may cause infrared interference to occur.

About Pixel Defects A plasma display is created by using a collection of miniature pixels. It is possible to display more

than 99.99% of valid pixels, however a small fraction of pixels over the life of the product may not illuminate or may constantly be illuminated.

This is not to be considered a defect in the plasma display.
