Other Operations

Setting the Film Mode

When the Film Mode is selected, it functions automatically to detect video signals of movies recorded at 24 frames-persecond, changing the scan settings to allow enjoyment of higher quality movie playback. It does this by converting the video signal to progressive scan. When using the Film Mode function, it should ordinarily be set to “H.QUALITY.” Note, however, that due to the time required for video signal processing, a time lag may occur with the audio signal, and if this lag is objectionable, set the mode to “STANDARD.” When set to OFF, only standard progressive conversion is used.

Note

The Film Mode is supported only with 480i or NTSC input signals. This setting must be made independently for each input (INPUT1 – INPUT5) used.

Additional Information

Cleaning

Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of this unit. The recommended way to clean the monitor and related parts is described below.

Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Cleaning the monitor panel body and remote control

Do not under any circumstances use solvents such as benzine or thinner for cleaner. Use of such liquids may cause deterioration or peeling of paint from the monitor or remote control unit. Wipe the monitor and remote control gently with a soft cloth. In the case of excessive dirt buildup, dampen a soft cloth with a diluted neutral cleaning detergent and after wringing the cloth thoroughly, wipe the component and then dry it with a dry soft cloth.

Cleaning the screen

After dusting, wipe the screen gently using a soft cloth. Do not use tissue or a rough cloth. As the surface of the screen is easily scratched, do not rub it or hit it with a hard object.

Cleaning the vents

As a general rule, use a vacuum cleaner about once a month to clean the vents on the rear panel of the monitor of dust buildup (set the vacuum cleaner to its weakest setting when doing this). Using the unit without cleaning it of dust will cause the internal temperature to increase, resulting in possible breakdown or fire.

Vents

Page 47

Additional Notes and Cautions

Although this unit incorporates high precision technology in its design, please understand that there may be extremely slight pixel breakup, or light emission fault.

Note

In order to protect the panel and internal circuitry, this monitor is provided with a cooling fan designed to turn on/off and change speed automatically in accordance with ambient temperature conditions (the fan sound will change in accordance with its speed).

Additional cautions

• If the power is automatically turned off during operation of this unit, the following reasons may be the cause. 1 Is the POWER MANAGEMENT or AUTO POWER

OFF function set to ON? (page 31).

2 Is ambient temperature too high? 3 The internal temperature has risen abnormally due to

blocked cooling vents, overheating of internal electronic parts, or other factors.

4 If the monitor is moved suddenly from a chilled

location to a warm room, or if the room temperature rises suddenly, condensation may form on internal parts. To protect internal circuitry, the monitor is provided with a condensation detector that automatically disables power in event of internal condensation; in this case, allow the unit to dry

thoroughly before using. If the power is automatically turned off for a reason other than the above reasons, there could be a malfunction. In this case, unplug the power cord from the power outlet and request repair from your nearest sales outlet.

• The plasma display panel of this unit is very bright and viewing it a close distance will cause eye strain. We recommend that you view the screen from a suitable distance (9.8 to 19.7 feet (3 to 6m)).

Additional Information

If the problem persists, disconnect the power plug and consult your dealer or a service center. When POWER is pressed on the front of the monitor to set the unit to the standby mode, the indicator will flash red for several seconds (page 27). Other than this, if the power turns off by itself, or refuses to turn on, or if the red indicator conditions flashing, a malfunction may be indicated. Immediately disconnect the power plug and consult your dealer or a service center.

About the plasma panel’s protection function

The brightness of this monitor will dim slightly when an image with little movement such as a photograph or computer image is continuously displayed. This is caused by the plasma panel’s protection function which detects images with slight movement and automatically adjusts brightness to protect the monitor, and is not a malfunction. The screen-saver function begins operating when the monitor detects no or little screen movement for a period of about three minutes.

CAUTION Image burn-in and after-image lag

Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two cases:

1. After-image (lag image) due to burning:

Avoid displaying the same image on the Plasma Monitor continuously over a long period of time. If the same image is displayed continuously for several hours, or for shorter periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent materials. Such images may become less noticeable if moving images are later displayed, but they will not disappear completely.

STANDBY/ON indicator

During operation of the Power Management function, the indicator will flash green at intervals of about 2 seconds (page 31). If the green light displays a flashing pattern other than the above, an error message is indicated. Consult any onscreen messages (page 40) and check ambient conditions (temperature, condensation, etc.) and respond accordingly (page 41).

2. After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load:

When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still images and the time they had been displayed.

Explanation of Terms

Aspect ratio

The TV screen’s width to height ratio is referred to as its aspect ratio. The aspect ratio on standard TVs is 4:3 and on wide TVs or High Definition TVs it is 16:9.

S jack (S VIDEO jack)

This jack transmits the video signal as two signals; the luminance (Y) signal and the color(C) signal. Because of this, picture reproduction is superior to that obtained at the composite input/ output jacks.

S-video signal

The video signal is composed of two signals; the chroma signal (color signal) which reproduces color and the luminance signal which reproduces light and darkness. With standard video components, these two signals are combined into one and are handled as a video signal referred to as the “composite signal”. The S-video signal, however, is a signal that handles these two signals separately. Because they are not combined as in the composite video signal, the high quality of both signals can be retained.

Component video signal

General term for video signal format composed of the Y. CB.CR, Y.PB.PR and Y.B-Y.R-Y luminance signal + color signal.

G with SYNC (or G ON SYNC)

This indicates a video signal with a synchronization signal added to the G (GREEN) signal of the R.G.B signal.

VGA

VGA is short for “Video Graphics Array”. Generally this indicates a 640 dot x 480 line resolution.

XGA

General term for “eXtended Graphics Array”. Generally this indicates a 1024 dot x 768 line resolution.
