Warnings and Safety Precaution

The NEC Multimedia monitor PlasmaSync 4200W is designed and manufactured to provide long, troub lefree service. No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the panel surface. For operating saf ety and to av oid damage to the unit, read carefully and observe the following instructions. To avoid shock and fire hazards:

1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal heat build-up. Do not cover rear v ents or install in a closed cabinet or shelves. The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you enclose the unit in a cabinet or rack, be sure there is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the po wer to the monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler location, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 minutes. If the problem persists, contact your NEC dealer for service.

2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely inserted.

3. Do not expose unit to water or moisture.

4. A void damage to the po wer cord, and do not attempt to modify the power cord.

5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not be used over a long period.

6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.

7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. NEC is not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer all service to authorized NEC Service Centers.

Introduction

Introduction to the PlasmaSync 42–inch Plasma Monitor

NEC's PlasmaSync™ is a seamless blend of cutting-edge visual technology and sophisticated design. At 42-inches, with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the PlasmaSync™ certainly makes a big impression. However, at a mere 3.6 inches/ 91mm thin, the monitor's sleek techno-art lines blend in well with most interiors. PlasmaSync's crisp, vivid image quality will transform data from any graphic medium from PCs to DVD players- into art. And weighing only 92.6 lbs/ 42kg, it actually can be hung almost anywhere. NEC has made sure that a host of multimedia resources can be easily connected and displayed as brilliantly as intended on the PlasmaSync™ monitor.

Connecting Your PC Or Macintosh Computer

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your PlasmaSync 4200W will enable you to display your computer's screen image for an impressive presentation. The PlasmaSync 4200W supports the signals described on page

12. To connect to a PC, Macintosh or computer equipped with

an SVGA/VGA adapter or compatible graphics adapter, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your PlasmaSync 4200W and computer.

If your PC does not support SVGA/VGA you will need to install an SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your computer's owner's manual for your SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for installation instructions.

3. Use the signal cable that's supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the PlasmaSync 4200W. For Macintosh, use the supplied monitor adapter to connect to your computer's video port.

4. Turn on the PlasmaSync 4200W and the computer .

5. If the PlasmaSync 4200W goes blank after a period of inactivity , it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you've connected to the PlasmaSync 4200W.

When using a Macintosh with the PlasmaSync 4200W, set the DIP switch of the supplied monitor adapter according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh.

See the following pages for setting of the DIP switch.

Examples of DIP switch setting

Connecting Your Document Camera

You can connect your PlasmaSync 4200W to a document camera. To do so, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your PlasmaSync 4200W and document camera.

2. Use a standard video cable to connect your document camera to the V ideo input on your PlasmaSync 4200W.

3. Turn on the PlasmaSync 4200W and the document camera.

Note:

manual for more information about your camera's video output requirements.

Refer to your document camera's owner's

Connecting Your VCR Or Laser Disc Player

Use common RCA cables (not provided) to connect your VCR or laser disc player to your PlasmaSync 4200W. To make these connections, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your PlasmaSync 4200W and VCR or laser disc player.

2. Connect one end of your RCA cable to the video output connector on the back of your VCR or laser disc player, connect the other end to the V ideo input on your PlasmaSync 4200W.
