HDMI is the leading new standard for Digital High Definition video and audio interconnection. Eg. with a Digital Set top box, with HDMI-equipped devices like a PC, DVD-R, AV receiver...

Note: the HDMI connector is compatible with DVI-devices and a HDMI to DVI conversion cable is included. (Then also connect the audio cables.)

The

HDMI IN connector allows

- the following TV and monitor display modes: EDTV 640/720 x 480p

720 x 576p

HDTV 1280 x 720p (not with 42PF9966)

1920 x1080i

1152i VGA 640 x 480 60 Hz SVGA 800 x 600 60 Hz XGA 1024 x 768 60 Hz (not with 42PF9966)

- uncompressed HD content

- encrypted or non encrypted signals.

& Connect the digital HDMI output of your HD device (e.g. PC, DVD player, Set Top Box..) 1 to the

HDMI connector of your TV.

é In case a HD-DVI device (and if audio is present) is connected also connect the audio cable 2 to the

AUDIO outputs of your HD device and to the R (right) and L (left) HDMI (AV3) inputs of the panel

of the TV.

Notes:

- Proper working is only guaranteed with HDMI compliant consumer products.

- Digital devices from different manufacturers have the possibility of differing output standards which may cause difficulties for the television to properly display;

- If the set is cold, there may be a small “flicker” when the set is turned on.This is normal, there is nothing wrong with the set.

- If possible, use the 1024x768@60Hz video mode to obtain the best image quality for your monitor (32PF9966 and 42PF9986).

To enhance the sound reproduction of your TV you can connect an externally powered subwoofer (between 20 and 250 Hz).

& Connect the audio cable of the external subwoofer to

the

SUBWOOFER socket at the bottom of your TV.

Care of the screen Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may

scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen. When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible.Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.

Poor Picture • Have you selected the correct TV system in the manual installation menu?

• Is your TV or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc.?

• Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the aerial.

• Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation, Manual installation, p. 6.

• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 8.

No Picture • Are the supplied cables connected properly ? (The aerial cable to the TV, the

other aerial to your recorder, the power cables.)

• Has the child lock been switched off ?

• Is your PC switched on ?

• Do you see a black screen and the indicator in front of the TV lights up,

this means that the display mode is not supported. Switch your HDMI-source to a correct mode.

• In case of weak or bad signal, consult your dealer.

Digital distortion The low quality of some digital picture material may be the cause of digital image

distortion. In this case select the Soft setting using the Picture menu, Smart Picture, without changing the picture settings manually.

No sound • No sound on any channel? Check the volume isn’t at minimum.

• Is the sound interrupted with the mute key ¬?

Tips

Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen

A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen.This is called phosphor burn in. Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen.

Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing):

•

TV menus;

•

Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended

to change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen;

•

TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast

graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen;

•

Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom of the TV screen;

•

Shopping channel logos and pricing displays: bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in

the same location on the TV screen. Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters, etc.

Notes:

- reduce contrast and brightness when viewing

- once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.
