16. WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire Or Electric Shock, Do Not Expose This Appliance To Rain Or
Moisture.
17. Wet Location Marking : Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
POWER CAUTION
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit
which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification
page of this owner’s manual to be certain. Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets,
loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire
insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug
it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an
authorized servicer.
Plasma Training 5 Safety
SAFETY
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched,
closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where
the cord exits the appliance.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety-related characteristics. These parts are identified
in the Schematic Diagram and Replacement Parts List. It is essential that these special safety parts should be replaced
with the same components as recommended in this manual to prevent , Shock, Fire, or other Hazards. Do not modify the
original design without permission of manufacturer.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK WARNING
An lsolation Transformer should always be used during the servicing of a receiver whose chassis is not isolated from the
AC power line. Use a transformer of adequate power rating as this protects the technician from accidents resulting in
personal injury from electrical shocks. It will also protect the receiver and its components from being damaged by
accidental shorts of the circuit that may be inadvertently introduced during the service operation. If any fuse (or
Fusible Resistor) in this monitor is blown, replace it with the same specified type. When replacing a high wattage
resistor (Oxide Metal Film Resistor, over 1W), keep the resistor 10mm away from PCB. Keep wires away from high voltage
or high temperature parts.
LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK (ANTENNA COLD CHECK)
With the instrument AC plug removed from AC source, connect an electrical jumper across the two AC plug prongs.
Place the AC switch in the on positioin, connect one lead of ohm-meter to the AC plug prongs tied together and
touch other ohm-meter lead in turn to each exposed metallic parts such as antenna terminals, phone jacks, etc. If
the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the measured resistance should be between 1M ohm and
5.2M ohm. When the exposed metal has no return path to the chassis the reading must be infinite. An other
abnormality exists that must be corrected before the receiver is returned to the customer.
LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK
Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use a line Isolation Transformer during this check. Connect
1.5K/10watt resistor in parallel with a 0.15uF capacitor between a known good earth ground (Water Pipe, Conduit,
etc.) and the exposed metallic parts. Measure the AC voltage across the resistor using AC voltmeter with 1000 ohms/
volt or more sensitivity. Reverse plug the AC cord into the AC outlet and repeat AC voltage measurements for each
exposed metallic part. Any voltage measured must not exceed 0.75 volt RMS which corresponds to 0.5mA. In case
any measurement is out of the limits sepcified, there is possibility of shock hazard and the set must be checked and
repaired before it is returned to the customer.

OPERATION
MANUAL PICTURE CONTROL
The Manual Picture Control option allows users to set individual picture controls such as Contrast,
Brightness, Color, Tint, Sharpness, and Color Temperature. The Manual Picture Controls should be
used to properly set the display once it is in a users home. The environment around the display will
affect the perceived quality of the display. For example, the color of the walls and flooring will
affect the color levels seen on the display. Also, the amount of ambient light in the room will affect
the brightness of the display.
To properly set the Manual Picture Control levels:
1. Make sure the display is in its final place in the room. (If the display is moved to another
position, the controls will need to be re-adjusted.)
2. Adjust ambient light. The adjustments should be made for night time movie watching as,
this is when consumers are most critical of picture quality. The room should be darkened
with little to no ambient light in front of the display. For best results, and to reduce the
chance of eye strain, there should be slight ambient light behind the display.
3. Turn off or disable any additional video signal processing such as: XD Engine, Velocity
Scan, etc
4. Set EZ Picture to the Normal setting.
5. Set Color Temperature to the Warm setting.
Contrast – The Contrast control is used to adjust the White Level of the display. The proper setting
for contrast is only high enough to allow the difference between white and light gray to be seen.
When contrast is set too high, light grays will appear washed out or white, and whites can begin to
bloom or over saturate with color (appear slightly blue, pink, or green). When contrast is set too
low, whites will appear gray.
To properly set the Contrast Level, lower the contrast setting so that white becomes gray. Next,
begin stepping up the contrast level until the lightest gray color becomes white (white and gray
sections become one larger section) and then move the control down one step. There should always
be a noticeable difference between white and light gray and also note that for best results on all
display types (and to reduce display wear) the Contrast Level should be no higher than “85”.
Brightness – The Brightness control is used to adjust the Black Level of the display. The proper
setting for brightness is only high enough to allow the difference between black and dark gray to be
seen. When brightness is set too high, blacks will appear washed out or gray. When brightness is set
too low, dark grays will appear black.
To properly set the Brightness Level, begin stepping down the brightness level until the darkest
gray disappears into black (at the same time, black and “blacker-than-black” will mix into one.
Next, step the brightness level up once so that, black and “blacker-than-black” remain together yet
the darkest gray is visible.
NOTE: The Brightness and Contrast controls interact with each other. The current brightness
setting will affect the white level and the current contrast setting will affect the black
level. Therefore, you may need to readjust the contrast setting after adjusting the
brightness setting, and likewise readjust the brightness setting after subsequent contrast
settings. Keep repeating the adjustment until the black and white levels are reached.
Color – The Color control is used to adjust the Color Saturation of the display. The proper setting
for color is to the point where the primary (red, green, & blue) and sub-primary (yellow, cyan, &
magenta) colors appear as their pure, natural colors without “bleeding” into other colors. When
Plasma Training 19 Operation
OPERATION
color is set too high, predominant colors, such as red, will bloom and bleed, causing white to
appear pink, and yellow to appear orange. When color is set too low, the entire image will appear
more gray than colored, with the extreme lower limit resulting in a Black & White picture. To
properly set the Color Level, lower the color setting to the point where colors begin to appear gray.
Next, begin stepping up the color level until the primary and sub-primary colors begin to exceed
their normal color representations.
Tint – The Tint control is used adjust the Hue of the display between red or green. The proper
setting for tint is, as with the color setting, to the point where the primary (red, green, & blue)
and sub-primary (yellow, cyan, & magenta) colors appear as their pure, natural colors without
bleeding into other colors. The extreme settings of tint will result in a red/magenta overall hue or
a green/cyan overall hue. To properly set the Tint control, adjust towards red if yellows appear with
a green tint or towards green is yellows appear with a red or orange tint.
NOTE: The Color and Tint controls interact with each other. The current color setting will affect
the hue and the current tint setting will affect the saturation. Therefore, you may need
to readjust the color setting after adjusting the tint setting, and likewise readjust the tint
setting after subsequent color settings. Keep repeating the adjustment until the best
color representation is reached.
TIP: After Color and Tint adjustments are completed, reds may over saturate slightly, causing
yellows to appear orange. You may need to slightly reduce the color level to compensate
for this effect.
Sharpness – The Sharpness control is used to adjust the amount of data added to the display
image. When the sharpness control is set too high, white or jagged edges will appear on black lines
or the edges of objects. When the sharpness control is set too low, the edges of objects or black
lines will appear fuzzy. To properly set the Sharpness control, adjust the setting up or down until
black lines have crisp, clean edges, while maintaining the overall brightness level across the image.
TIP: If a noticeable difference is not seen during the sharpness adjustment, simply place the
control at the 50 mark.
