Before Proceeding

How to use this manual

English

This manual is set up to follow the course of actions and
operations in the order that would seem most logical for
someone setting up this unit.

The following example is an actual operation that shows
how one might set the brightness of the screen. The
screens shown at each step are provided as a visual
guide to confirm that the procedure is proceeding as it
should. Please familiarize yourself with this process
before continuing on with the rest of this manual.

Once the unit has been taken out of the box, and it has
been confirmed that all the parts have been received, the
section “Connecting this unit to the monitor” starting on
page 5 outlines the procedure for connecting this unit to
the plasma display, PDP-502MXE.

After the unit is connected to the plasma display, use this
instruction manual in conjunction with the instruction
manual included with the PDP-502MXE to control your
system

To familiarize yourself with the parts, buttons, and
controls of this unit, the plasma display, and the remote
control unit, please refer to the section “Part Names and
Functions” on page 3 and the corresponding section in
the instruction manual for the PDP-502MXE.

Once this unit is connected to the plasma display,
PDP-502MXE, the section “About the input jacks”
starting on page 7 covers all the necessary points
regarding connections to a wide variety of components.

The section “Setting Up the System” starting on page 14
covers the necessary on-screen menu settings to
establish correct linkage to connected components.
Depending on the connections made, this section may or
not be necessary.

The sections “Operations” and “Display Panel
Adjustments” starting on pages 17 and 21 respectively,

G ON SYNC setup (CLAMP)

English

The RGB video signal is normally composed of 5 signals:
R, G, B, HD and VD. With G ON SYNC connection,
however, the signal is composed of 3 signals: R, G (G, HD
and VD combined) and B.
If the component being used is a model where G ON
SYNC connection is carried out, on-screen setup is
necessary.

Setup of G ON SYNC (CLAMP) connection

1 Press MENU to display the menu screen.

The menu screen appears.

2 Press 5/∞ to select SET UP, and press SET.

Notes

÷ Make this G ON SYNC setting for each applicable input

(INPUT3 and INPUT4).

÷ When using this setup, be sure to carefully check the signal

output of the component that you are using. For details, please
refer to the instruction manual supplied with the component
you are connecting.

÷ If the screen becomes bright and turns a greenish color, set

CLAMP to MODE2.

÷ G ON SYNC connection is carried out on some Macintosh

computers.

Selecting an input source

This section explains the basic operation of this unit when
connected to the monitor. Outlined on this page is how to
turn the monitor’s main power on and off, put this unit in
the operation or standby mode and how to select
connected components.

Before you begin, make sure you have:

÷

Made connections from the monitor and video box to AV
components and/or a personal computer.

÷ Set up the on-screen menu to input signals from

components connected to INPUT1 through INPUT4 as
described in the section “Setting Up the System” on
page 14.
If no connections are made to these terminals,
on-screen setup is not necessary.

described on page 14, the auto function feature is
capable of automatic input switching when the
connected component is operated.

÷ When a signal from a personal computer is input, if

the signal is not compatible with the monitor, “OUT
OF RANGE” will appear on the screen.

4 Use VOLUME +/– on the remote control unit to

adjust the volume.

If no audio connections are made to this unit, this step
is not necessary.

5 When viewing is finished, press STANDBY/ON

to put the unit in standby mode.

The STANDBY/ON indicator will blink and then remain
lit (red) indicating that the standby mode is engaged.

Screen size selection

English

When this unit is connected to the plasma display
PDP-502MXE, it incorporates screen modes of various
height and width ratios. For optimal viewing, we
recommend that you select the screen mode that best
matches the video source that you are viewing. Although
these modes are designed for full display of a picture on a
wide screen, it is our hope that you make use of them
with a full understanding of the manufacturer’s intentions.

Changing the screen size

(For screen sizes when the video signal of a personal
computer is input, please refer to the personal computer
input signal correspondence chart in the instruction
manual supplied with the PDP-502MXE.)

Notes

÷ When the NATURAL WIDE, CINEMA WIDE, ZOOM, or FULL

setting is used to display a non-wide screen 4:3 picture fully on
a wide screen, a portion of the picture may be cut off or
appear deformed.

÷ Please note that when this unit is used for business or public

viewing purposes and the CINEMA WIDE mode or ZOOM
screen modes are used to compress or stretch the screen
picture, this may violate the rights of the author protected
under copyright law.

The size of the picture or the picture’s range projected on
the screen can be changed between 5 screen sizes
described in the table on this page.

Press SCREEN SIZE to select the size.

The screen size changes each time SCREEN SIZE on the
remote control, or SIZE on the unit is pressed as follows.

Setting the regional TV system
format

INPUT1 and INPUT2 are compatible with a number of TV
system formats used around the world, which are
automatically detected by this unit.
Normally “COLOR SYSTEM:AUTO” should be selected
for automatic detection. However, some video signals are
dubbed over or in certain conditions may not be displayed
properly (loss of color, etc.) by this setting. In this case,
change the setting according to the input signal.

Note

Setting the TV system format is required for both INPUT1 and
INPUT2. Setting assignment and exclusive use according to the
TV system format of your input signal will enable prompt
processing of signals and reduction of time for input selection
and possible errors in detecting signals.
