• Remove the power cord for complete isolation!

For complete isolation from the mains, remove the power cord from the monitor or from the wall socket.

PRECAUTIONS

• Installation environment

Do not obstruct a ventilation hole. Do not put the monitor on carpet or blanket, or near a curtain which has a possibility of obstructing a ventilation hole of the monitor.

Do not put the monitor in the following places.

• Hot places such as near heater, place exposed to the direct rays of the sun.

• A place where the temperature is widely changing.

• Places with soot, dust or high humidity.

• Poor air ventilation place.

• Place near fire.

• A wet place such as bathroom, or shower room.

• Place where you can trip over it.

• Always vibrating or strongly vibrating places.

• Distorted or unstable places.

• How to view the monitor.

If you use the monitor in too dark a room, your eyes may become tired. Please use it in a reasonably bright room. Avoid direct rays of the sun to the screen in order to prevent eye fatigue. Your eyes will get fatigued after viewing the monitor for long period of time. Relax your eyes by viewing away from the monitor from time to time. Please watch the monitor in downward direction.

• Note on image retention

The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images. Tips to prevent such image retention are:

- Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-contrast images, such as

monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long.

- Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate

intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.

- Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.

ENGLISH

• How to clean the monitor.

Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the mains. When cleaning the monitor, do not spray directly the screen or cabinet with cleaner. Use a clean, dust free, dry and soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with nonalcoholic or non-ammonia detergent. Do not rub the surface of the screen with ball-point-pen or screw-driver etc.

SAFETY GUIDELINES(continued)

• Prevention of an obstacle to Radio receivers

This monitor has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules (see page VII). This is to prevent a problem to Radio receivers. If this monitor cause a problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:

- Keep the monitor away from Radio.

withEasyMenu!

EasyMenu is HITACHI’s On Screen Display function for easy operation.

The following features are provided by the color Plasma Display Monitor.

Large-screen, high-definition plasma display panel

The 42-inch color plasma display panel, with a resolution of 1024 (H) x 1024(V) pixels, creates a high-definition, large-screen (aspect ratio : 16:9) and low-profile flat display. Free from electromagnetic interferences from geomagnetic sources and ambient power lines, the panel produces high-quality display images free from color misconvergence and display distortion.

ENGLISH

Multimedia input support

The monitor comes complete with a mini-D-sub terminal and a BNC terminal for RGB input and with a composite/S terminal and a component terminal for video input, and even with stereo audio input terminals. It allows hooking up with a number of devices, from PCs to video gear.

Multiscan converter and Flexible Control LSI

The multiscan converter provides a broad multiscan range of signals, from video signals (15 kHz) to PC analog video signals. Video input is subjected to signal processing by a dedicated LSI to offer better video quality.

Easy-to-use remote controller and EasyMenu

The remote controller included eases the work of setting display controls. Further, the onscreen display system, EasyMenu, displays the status of signal reception and display control settings in an easy-to-view fashion.

Power saving system

The International ENERGY STAR® power saver feature saves power consumption automatically when input signals are not available. When connected to a VESA DPMScompliant PC, the monitor cuts its power consumption while it is idle.

Symptom Point to check

• The temperature of the display panel surface is high.

ENGLISH

• There are locations on the screen that are different from the periphery (*).

*Points that do not light, points with

brightness different from that of the periphery, points with color different from that of the periphery, etc.

• Vertical stripes appear, depending on the screen contents.

• Coarse horizontal stripes appear in FULL display.

• The display dims to make the picture invisible during special playback of a VCR (FF, REW).

• The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the discharge of internal radiation. In some cases, this may cause the temperature of the panel surface to increase. Please note that this is not a malfunction.

• High-precision technology is used to manufacturing the plasma display panel but, in some cases, there are minor defects in some parts of the screen. Please note that this is not a malfunction.

• The plasma display panel is lighting 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.

• Adjusting the phase will reduce the horizontal stripes.

(RGB input)

• This condition may occur when the unit is connected to a VCR with component output, such as 480i, but it is not a failure. But when it occurs, switch to composite output or S1 (S2) output).

frequency (Hz)

• The type of video board or connecting cable used may not allow for correct displays adjustment of H.POSITION, V.POSITION, CLOCK and PHASE.

• The monitor may fail to display an animation image correctly when a signal having a vertical frequency of 85Hz or higher is input to it.

• The monitor differentiates the signal modes according to the horizontal and vertical frequencies and the horizontal and vertical sync signal polarities. Note that different signals having all these elements alike may be handled as the same signal.

• Displaying images with more than 512 lines of vertical resolution at Full diplay (compressed display) can result in the interpolation of stripes.

• Use of this monitor with the input signal timings specified below is recommended. A predefined setting may not be reproduced correctly with an extremely long front porch or back porch or with an extremely short data display time.
