◆ Do not expose the PDP to extreme temperature conditions or to extreme humidity conditions.

◆ Do not expose the PDP to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

◆ Do not expose the PDP to any liquids.

◆ Never put objects of any kind into the television, and do not place a water-containing vessel on the

PDP.

◆ During a storm conditions (especially when there is lightning) unplug the PDP from the mains
socket and aerial.

◆ Do not step on or twist the power cord.

◆ Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

◆ Please use a soft and dry cloth (not containing volatile matter) when you clean the PDP.

◆ If the PDP is broken, do not try to repair it yourself. Contact qualified service personnel.

◆ If the remote control is not used for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store it in a

User Instructions

◆ Screen Image retention

Do not display a still image (such as on a video game or when hooking up a PC to this PDP) on the
plasma monitor panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention. This image
retention is also known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of
brightness and contrast of this screen when displaying a still image.

◆ Cell Defect

The plasma display panel consists of fine cells. Although the panels are produced with more than

99.9 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.

◆ Height

The PDP can normally operate only under 2000m in height. It might abnormally function at a place
over 2000m in height and do not install and operate there.

◆ Warranty

- Warranty Period: One year starting from the purchase of your PDP.

- Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

- Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

Before Connecting the Display to External Equipment

Carefully check the connectors for position and type before making any connections. Loose connectors can
result in picture or color problems. Make sure that all connectors are securely inserted into their terminals.

Ferrite Cores

The ferrite cores are used to attenuate undesired signals. When connecting cables, attach one of these ferrite
cores to the cable near the connector.

➢

When you connect the speaker wire, RCA cable and S-Video cable
to the connectors, first bind round the ferrite core to secure it.

Setting up Your Display Plug and Play

Our adoption of the new VESA® Plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time consuming
setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system without the usual
hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure itself for use with your
display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended Display Identification data
(EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols.

Setting up Your PC Software (Windows only)

ENG

The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. But the actual screens on your
PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular
video card.

On the windows screen, select in the following
sequence: Start

➞ Settings ➞ Control Panel.

➡

➡

When the control panel screen appears, click on
“Display” and a display dialog-box will appear.

Select the “Settings” tab in the display dialog-box.

The two key variables that apply the PDP-PC
interface are “Resolution” and “Colors”.
The correct settings for these two variables are:

◆ Size (sometimes called “Resolution”)
1024 x 768 pixels.

◆ Color

“24-bit” color (might also be expressed as “16
million colors”)
Shown at left is a typical screen for “Display”
dialog box.

If a vertical-frequency option exists on your display
settings dialog box, the correct value is “60” or
“60Hz”. Otherwise, just click “OK” and exit the
dialog box.

PC Input Mode (42”)

Both screen position and size will vary depending on the type of PC monitor and its resolution.
The table below shows all of the display modes that are supported:

(N: Negative / P: Positive)

◆ The interlace mode is not supported.

◆ The PDP might operate abnormally if a non-standard video format is selected.

◆ The 4:3 mode does not work with input signals from “720 x 400”.

Notes

◆ The text quality of PC screen is optimum in the VGA mode (640 x 480), the full size displayed PC mode
is optimum in the SVGA mode (800 x 600).

◆ When this PDP is used as a PC display, 24-bit color is supported (over 16 million colors).

◆ Your PC display screen might appear different depending on the manufacturer (and your particular version of

Windows). Check your PC instruction book for information about connecting your PC to a PDP.

◆ If a vertical and horizontal frequency-select mode exists, select 60Hz (vertical) and 31.5kHz (horizontal).
In some cases, abnormal signals (such as stripes) might appear on the screen when the PC power is turned
off (or if the PC is disconnected). If so, press the

Source button to enter the Video mode. Also, make sure that

the PC is connected.

◆ When connecting a notebook PC to the PDP, make sure that the PC screen is displayed through only the
PDP monitor (Otherwise, random signals might appear).

◆ When horizontal synchronous signals seem irregular in PC mode, check PC power saving mode or cable
connections.

Multiple Display Control (MDC)

➣

◆

Before using the RS-232C control function, confirm whether each ID of the PDPs that you want to
control is set or not, and they are individual each other. If not, first set your ID number. (Refer to
“Setting the Multiple Display Control (MDC)” on page 43.)

◆

When controlling more than four PDPs or using an extra cable, not the serial cable which is
included in PDP, the MDC maybe operate abnormally.

A multiple display control is an application allowing
various displays to be easily and simultaneously operated
on a PC. RS-232C, a standard of serial communication, is
used for the communication between a PC and a display.
Therefore, a serial cable should be connected between
the serial port on a PC and the serial port on a display.
