Safety Instructions

◆ Do not place the PDP on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, table, or floor where it can fall.

◆ 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

cool, dry place.

◆ Do not drop the remote control.

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.

wall using bolts as shown in the figure:
Fixing bolts must protrude from the
wall appox. 1.5 cm.

3 Using the wall attachment panel, you may adjust the angle of the display from 0 to 20 degrees. The

angle can be set in 5 stages with 5 degrees of distance each using the angle control holes on the sides
of the panel.

Connecting Speakers

Rear of the Media Station

➣

◆ The speakers MUST have more than 15watts rating (impedance 8Ω).

◆ The ferrite cores are used to attenuate undesired signals. When you connect the speaker wire to the

EXTERNAL SPEAKER OUT (8Ω) connector, bind the speaker wire round the ferrite core to secure it.

Connecting PDP and Speakers

Fix the bracket onto the guide
pole located on the rear of
speaker and fasten the screws.
After removing the three
screws on the PDP, clamp the
speaker and the PDP together
and fasten the screws.

Setting up Your PC Software (Windows only)

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 Media Station­PC 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

60Hz.

Otherwise, just click

OK and exit the dialog box.

Input Mode (PC/DVI)

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”.

◆ The DVI mode does not support “1024 x 768” (85Hz).

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.

Care and Maintenance

ENG

With proper care, your PDP will give you many years of service. Please follow these guidelines to get
the maximum performance from your PDP.

◆ Identifying Problems

-

Do not put the PDP near extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty places.

-

Do not put the PDP near appliances that create magnetic fields.

-

Keep the ventilation openings clear.

-

Do not place the PDP on a rough and slanted surface, such as cloth or paper.

◆ Liquids

-

Do not handle liquids near or on the PDP.

◆ Cabinet

-

Never open the cabinet or touch the parts inside.

-

Wipe your PDP with a clean, dry cloth. Never use water, cleaning fluids, wax, or chemicals.

-

Do not put heavy objects on top of the cabinet.

◆ Temperature

-

If your PDP is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm place, unplug the power cord for at least two
hours so that moisture that may have formed inside the unit can dry completely.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting Service Personnel, perform the following simple checks. If you cannot solve the
problem using the instructions below, note the model and serial number of the PDP and contact your
local dealer.

No sound or picture

Normal picture but no sound

◆ Check the direction, location and connections of your aerial.

This interference often occurs due to the use of an indoor aerial.

◆ Replace the remote control batteries.

◆ Clean the upper edge of the remote control (transmission window).

◆ Check the battery terminals.

◆ The monitor is using its power management system.

Check the power management utility on your computer.
