The important safety instructions shall be entitled “Important Safety Instructions”. The following safety instructions shall be

included where applicable, and, when used, shall be verbatim as follows. Additional safety information may be included by

adding statements after the end of the following safety instruction list. At the manufacturer’s option, a picture or drawing that

illustrates the intent of a specific safety instruction may be placed immediately adjacent to that safety instruction :

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampli-

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.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being

twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay

Introduction

Introduction

Introduction

What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?

A plasma display panel is the latest display technology. It is currently 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 this means 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.

Cooling Fan Noise (RU-50PX10/10C/11/11C only)

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the PDP is equipped with
cooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur while the fans are operat­ing and cooling the PDP.
The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is normal during the
operation of this product. We hope you understand that a certain level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is not suffi­cient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.

Installation

NOTE: All cables shown are not included with the TV

- 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.
Typically a frozen still picture from a VCR. 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 3 or 4 and then tune

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 by the TV/VIDEO but-
ton on the remote control. (If connected to A/V
INPUT 1, select Video 1 input source)

Do not connect to both Video and S­Video at the same time. In the event
that you connect both Video and the
S-Video cables, only the S-Video will
work.)
