Introduction

Introduction

Introduction

What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?

A plasma display panel is the latest display technology and the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent image quality
and large screen sizes that are easily viewable. The PDP can be thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and it can be also
be viewed as a series of fluorescent lamps.

How does it work?

PDP is an array of cells, known as pixels, which are comprised of 3 sub pixels, corresponding to the colors red, green, and blue.
Gas in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to produce colored light (red, green, or blue). These phos­phors are the same types used in Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions and common computer monitors.

You get the rich, dynamic colors that you expect. Each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced electronics to produce over
16 million different colors. All of these mean that you get perfect images that are easily viewable in a display that is less than 5
inches thick.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the display is
clear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room who can see the screen.

Wide Screen

The screen of the Plasma Display is so wide that your viewing experience is as if you are in a theater.

Multimedia

Connect your plasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and Internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picture
feature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.

Versatile

The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs will not
fit.

The PDP Manufacturing Process: a few minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen

The PDP (Plasma Display Panel), which is the display device of this product, is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few cell
defects will normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process. Several tiny, minute colored dots visible on the screen should be
acceptable. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is defec­tive. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology mini­mizes these cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.

- To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and TV.

- Use the ISM Method (on the Option menu) feature to avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of time.
If the 4:3 picture format is used; the fixed images on the sides of the screen may remain visible on the screen.

Connection Option 1

Set VCR output switch to channel 3 or 4 and

then tune the TV to the same channel number.

Connection Option 2

1. Connect the audio and video cables from the

VCR's output jacks to the TV input jacks, as

shown in the figure.
When connecting the TV to VCR, match the
jack colors (Video = yellow, Audio Left = white,
and Audio Right = red).
If you connect an S-VIDEO output from VCR to
the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is
improved; compared to connecting a regular
VCR to the Video input.

2. Insert a video tape into the VCR and press
PLAY on the VCR. (Refer to the VCR owner’s
manual.)

3. Select the input source with using the
TV/VIDEO button on the remote control. Note
that this TV finds the connected input sources
automatically for Video, Front Video and
