Introduction

What is a Plasma Display ?

If voltage is inputted to gas in glass panels, ultraviolet rays is outputted and fused with a fluorescent substance. At this moment,
light is emitted. APlasma Display is a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

A Plasma Display provides more than 160° angle range of vision so that you can get a picture without distortion from any
direction.

Easy installation

A Plasma Display is much lighter and smaller than other same class products so that you can install the Plasma Display
at the desired place.

Big screen

The screen of a Plasma Display is 42" (or 50") so that you can get vivid experience as if you are in a theater.

Multimedia Plasma Display

A Plasma Display can be connected with a computer so that you can use it as a screen for conference, game, internet
and so on.

The explanation about coloured dots may be present on PDP screen

The PDP which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells and a few cell defects can occur
in the manufacture of the PDP. Several coloured dots visible on the screen would be acceptable, in line with other PDP
manufacturers and would not mean that the PDP is faulty. We hope you will understand that the product which corre­sponds to this standard is regarded as acceptable. It means that it could not be changed or refunded.
We promise that we'll do our best to develop our technology to minimize the cell defects.

The explanation about noise of 42" (or 50") PDP (option)

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC to keep the CPU cool, the PDP is equipped with cooling fans to improve the
reliability of this product. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur when the fan is operated. This noise doesn't have
any negative effect on its efficiency and reliability and it's also determined to have no difficulty while using this product.
The noise from the fans is normal in the operation of this product. We hope you will understand that a certain level of noise
is acceptable. It means that it is not changeable nor refundable.

TO AVOID BURNING IMAGE INTO THE DISPLAY, DO NOT HAVE A STILL IMAGE ON SCREEN FOR EXTENDED PERIOD
OF TIME. IMAGE AFTER BURN WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ie.Menus, Video games, Borders or LOGOS

WARNING

This is Class B product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Installation

Connecting PC

- To enjoy vivid picture and sound, connect a PC to the set.

- Avoid keeping a fixed image on the set’s screen for a long period of time. The fixed image may become permanently imprinted on
the screen; use a screen saver when possible.

- Connect PC to the RGB INPUT(PC INPUT) or HDMI INPUT(DIGITAL RGB INPUT) port of the set; change the resolution output
of PC accordingly.

- There might be a noise according to some resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in PC mode. Then change the PC
mode into other resolution or change the refresh rate into other rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu until the
picture is clean. If the refresh rate of the PC graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult it to the

- The synchronization input form for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies is separate.

Setup Instructions to Connect a PC to your set

- We recommend using 1024x768, 60Hz for the PC mode, they provide the best picture quality.
In 42PX3RV series, we recommend using 640x480, 60Hz for the PC mode, they provide the best picture quality.

- If the resolution of PC is over UXGA, there will be no picture on the set.

- Connect the signal cable from the monitor output port of the PC to the RGB INPUT port of the set or the signal cable from the
HDMI output port of the PC to the HDMI INPUT port on the set.

- Connect the audio cable from the PC to the Audio input on the set. (Audio cables are not included with the set).

- If using a sound card, adjust PC sound as required.

- This set apply a VESA Plug and Play Solution. The set provides EDID data to the PC system with a DDC protocol. The PC adjusts
automatically to use this set.

- DDC protocol is preset for RGB (Analog RGB), HDMI (Digital RGB) mode.

- If required, adjust the set settings for Plug and Play functionally.

- If graphic card on the PC does not output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only one of both RGB INPUT or HDMI
INPUT to display the PC on the set.
If graphic card on the PC does output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, set the set to either RGB or HDMI ; (the other mode
is set to Plug and Play automatically by the set.)

- DOS mode may not work depending on video card if you use a HDMI to DVI cable.

- When you use too long RGB-PC cable, there might be a noise on the screen. We recommend using under 5m of the cable. It pro­vides the best picture quality.

Installation

- HDMITM, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing.

- This set can receive the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) or Input of Digital Visual Interface(DVI).

- This set supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection) Protocol for the set (480p, 720p, 1080i) modes.

- When you Connect with HDMI/DVI Source Devices (DVD Player or Set Top Box or PC) supporting Auto HDMI/DVI function,
automatically, support Plug & Play and then set the HDMI/DVI Source Devices (640 x 480p) (or 50PX3R series: 1280 x 720p).
After reading in HDMI/DVI Source Devices using Display Data Channel(DDC) Protocol, EDID stored in the set is used. If
HDMI/DVI Source Devices not supported Auto HDMI/DVI is been, the Resolution is set, manually.

- To get the best picture quality, adjust the DVD Player or Set Top Box output resolution to 640 x 480p (or 50PX3R series: 1280 x 720p).

- To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to 640 x 480 (or 50PX3R series: 1024 x 768), 60Hz.

- When Source Devices have DVI Output Connector, you must connect audio with separated cable.(Refer to <How to connect>)

How to connect

1. When Source Devices (DVD Player or Set Top Box) support HDMI.

- If Source Devices have HDMI Output Connector, Source Devices connect to the set with HDMI Cable .(not supplied with the prod­uct).

- If Source Devices support Auto HDMI, automatically, Source Devices divert output resolution in 640x480p (or 50PX3R series:
1280 x 720p). But if not, resolution divert Manually Setting for reference Manual of Source Devices.

- To get the best picture quality, adjust the DVD Player or Set Top Box output resolution to 640x480p (or 50PX3R series: 1280 x
720p).

- Because HDMI sends Digital Video and Audio with one cable, need not especial Audio Cable for using HDMI Cable.

2. When Source Devices (DVD Player or Set Top Box) supports DVI.

- If Source Devices have DVI Output Connector, Source Devices connect to the set with HDMI to DVI Cable (not supplied with the
product).

- If Source Devices support Auto DVI, automatically, Source Devices divert output resolution in 640x480p (or 50PX3R series: 1280
x 720p). But if not, resolution divert Manually Setting for reference Manual of Source Devices.

- To get the best picture quality, adjust the DVD Player or Set Top Box output resolution to 640x480p (or 50PX3R series: 1280 x
720p).

- In this case, Audio use other cable. When Source Devices have Analog Audio Output Connector, RGB/DVI Audio Input of the set
connect to Audio Cable (not supplied with the product). And then you can listen to normal Audio.

3. When PC supports DVI.

- If PC have DVI Output Connector, Source Devices connect to the set with HDMI to DVI Cable (not supplied with the product).

- To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to 640x480 (or 50PX3R series: 1024 x 768), 60Hz.

- Use the the set’s HDMI/DVI (VIDEO) for video connections, depending on your PC connector.

- If the graphics card on the PC does not output analog RGB and DVI simultaneously, connect only one of either RGB Input or
HDMI/DVI Input to display the PC on the set.

- If the graphics card on the PC does output analog RGB and DVI simultaneously, the set to either RGB Input or HDMI/DVI Input;
(the other mode is set to Plug and Play automatically by the set.)

- Then, make the corresponding audio connections. If using a sound card, adjust the PC sound as required.

- In this case, Audio use other cable. When PC (or sound card of PC) have Analog Audio Output Connector, RGB/DVI Audio Input

of the set connect to Analog Audio Cable (not supplied with the product). And then you can listen to normal Audio.
