Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet or power strip. NEVER plug your monitor into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.

•Turn off the monitor and/or component(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed with your monitor.

Protect Components from Overheating

• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• Don’t stack components.

•When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t flow around other components.

Important Stand and Base Safety Information

If a stand or base is used insure that it is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed separately.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

Use Indirect Light

Don’t place the monitor where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect lighting.

Connection Illustrations

The components used in the connection illustrations are for representation only.

Receiving Channels

In order for your Plasma Monitor to display television programming, you must connect a component than can receive programming (e.g. satellite receiver, HD receiver, or cable box).

CAUTIONS

To avoid malfunction, overheating of this unit, and possible fire hazard, make sure that the vents on the main unit are not blocked when installing. Also, as hot air is expelled from the air vents, be careful of dust build up on rear surface wall, etc.

This monitor unit is very heavy and has little front-to-back depth, making it very unstable when stood on edge. The monitor should either be attached to the table stand or mounted on the wall. No other mounting method is recommended. As a result, two or more persons should cooperate when unpacking, moving, or installing the monitor.

This unit incorporates a thin design. To ensure safety if vibrated or shaken, please be sure to take measures to prevent the unit from tipping over.

Mounting or Removing the Table Stand

To mount the monitor to the stand:

1. Lift the plasma monitor and insert the 4 mounting posts on the back of the unit into the mounting holes on the table stand.

2. Make sure all the posts are fully inserted, then let the monitor slide down into the smaller notches until the posts fit firmly into place.

3. Insert the screws into the holes on the back of the stand (as shown) and tighten them into place.

To remove the monitor from the stand:

Remove the screws, and follow the above steps in reverse order.

Connections and Setup

Explanation of Jacks

This section describes the jacks and cables you might use to make connections. There are several ways to connect components to your monitor.

Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance. It’s important to remember the different degrees of picture improvement for comparison. The component jacks (Y, Pb, Pr) are considered excellent; and S-Video and composite jacks are considered very good.

Note: The illustration below shows how your monitor’s jacks are labeled and where they are located. The jacks might vary slightly depending on your model.

• S-VIDEO In The S-Video (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than the regular video jacks because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.

If a component you’re connecting to your monitor (like a DVD player) has an S-VIDEO jack and composite video, connect the DVD player to the monitor with an S-Video cable (not provided) for better quality picture.

AUDIO OUT

Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables to the Audio In jacks because the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

• AUDIO In L Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is usually white.

• AUDIO In R Provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is usually red.

Note: If your component has only one output for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white) audio jack on the monitor and don’t connect the right (red) audio part of the cable.

• VIDEO In Provides composite video connection. The video connector is usually yellow.

• SUBWOOFER Provides a connection for your subwoofer for improved bass effects.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable components. The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components.

Note: The MONITOR button can’t be programmed on this remote.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed for your component, turn the component ON. For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCR1 button. Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH – (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If the component does not respond, the remote needs to be programmed.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control:

You’ll use these buttons when programming the remote.

Important: The remote may not be compatible will all models of all brands of components. It may also not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.

• automatic code search

• direct entry

Using Automatic Code Search

The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.

1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)

2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR or DVD, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

Note: You can also use Automatic Code Search to program the AUX button for audio components.

3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.

continued on next page

Chapter 2 15

Graphics contained within this publication are for representation only.

Using the Remote Control

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote can’t be programmed to operate that component.

Note: To cancel Code Search, press CLEAR at any time.

If the component you want to operate does turn off:

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.

2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.

Using Direct Entry

1. Turn on the component to be programmed.

2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.

3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.

4. Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.

5. Release the component button.

6. Point the remote at the component. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.

• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.

• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not compatible with your component.

How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It

Because this universal remote can operate several different components it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to operate the monitor, you would press the MONITOR button to put the remote into Monitor mode before you could operate the unit.

1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, MONITOR, VCR1, etc.) to set the remote to operate the component.

2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Notes:

• The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of components. It also

may not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.

• If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the

wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR1 on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)

Chapter 3: Using the Monitor’s Features

About the Status Display

The Status Display appears when you press the MONITOR or INFO button on the remote. The following list describes the items on the Status Display. Other displays that are not described here are selfexplanatory.

The icons change appearance to show the item’s status or availability.

DVI, CMP1, VID1, etc. The current video input selected.

16:9, 4:3, etc. The current zoom mode.

720P, 480i, 1080i, etc. The current signal resolution.

Mute Icon The sound is muted.

Sleep Timer 00:30 The amount of time remaining before the monitor

turns off if you have set the sleep timer.

Why You Should Use the Autotuning Feature

The autotuning feature tunes the monitor to the correct Video Input Channel for different components you have connected to your monitor (like a VCR, DVD Player, etc.). The Video Input Channel corresponds to the input jacks you used to connect a component to the montior. When you set up autotuning in the menu system you don’t have to remember to change your monitor to VID1, for example, when you want to watch the tape in your VCR.

How to Set Up the Autotuning Feature

The way you set up the autotuning feature in the monitor’s menu corresponds to the component buttons on the remote and the way you have each component connected to your monitor. When you set up auto tuning, you’re telling the monitor which Video Input Channel to tune to when you press the VCR or DVD button on the remote control.

1. Press MENU (the MAIN MENU appears).

2. Highlight Preferences and press OK (the PREFERENCES menu appears.

3. Highlight Autotuning and press OK (the AUTOTUNING menu appears).

4. Choose which channel you want to set: Set VCR1 input Sets the Video Input Channel the monitor tunes

to when you press the VCR1 button. Set VCR2 input Sets the Video Input Channel the monitor tunes

to when you press the VCR2 button. Set DVD input Sets the Video Input Channel the monitor tunes to

when you press the DVD button. Set SAT-CAB input Sets the Video Input Channel the monitor

tunes to when you press the SAT•CABLE button.

5. Press the right arrow button to select the choice that matches the way you have the component connected to this monitor. The choices and a brief explanation follow:

N/A Choose this if you don’t have this particular component connected to the monitor, or if you don’t want the monitor to automatically tune to the correct input when you’re using this component.

Using the Monitor’s Features

VID1 Component is connected to the VID1 VIDEO In or S-VIDEO In jack.

VID2 Component is connected to the VID2 VIDEO In or S-VIDEO In jack.

CMP1 Component is connected to the COMPONENT 1 jacks (YPbPr).

CMP2 Component is connected to the COMPONENT 2 jacks (YPbPr).

RGB Component is connected to the RGB IN jacks.

DVI Component is connected to the DVI IN jack.

Zoom Modes

Many DVD titles are “anamorphic” (widescreen). There are two predominant “anamorphic” (widescreen) aspect ratios:

2.35:1 and 1.85:1. When 2.35:1 is displayed on this 16:9 widescreen monitor, there will be small black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. When a 1.85:1 content is displayed, the black bars on the top and bottom will be slimmer than those of 2.35:1.

This plasma monitor is capable of displaying a widescreen image on its native 16:9 aspect ratio. However, not all available broadcast or video contents fit perfectly on widescreen (16:9) format, resulting in unused screen space. Use the following guidelines to determine the most suitable widescreen viewing mode.

4:3 — 4:3 image is centered on the display, black bars are added to the extra space on the left and right

16:9 — 4:3 image is proportionally stretched to fill the entire screen.

Zoom 14:9 —Stretch 1.85:1 content to full screen, eliminating black bars on the sides.

Zoom 16:9 — Stretch 2.35:1 content to full screen, eliminating the black bars on the sides.

Zoom 16:9 Subtitle — Stretches and shifts the image up to facilitate display of subtitles.

Cinerama — 4:3 image is expanded in the horizontal and vertical directions. The center of the picture is almost normal

while the edges are expanded.

Notes: When using the RGB and DVI inputs, the only available zoom options are 16:9 and 4:3.

Cinerama is not available when using component video (Y Pb Pr).
