NOTE:

• When switching the input signal, audio mute turns ON temporarily.

• S-WDE01 takes preference over the WDEO 1 jack,

as does S-WDEO 2 over the WDEO 2jack.

Therefore, if there is input to the WDEO and S- VIDEO terminals at the same time, the S-WDEO

signal is displayed on the screen. If the S-VIDEO cable is not connected to the plasma display, the

WDEO signal will be displayed on the screen.

• 480i (interlaced) signals can be connected to the COMPONENT 1and 2 terminals. Any of the follow-

ing display formats: 480i, 480p (progressive), 1080i and 720p (progressive) signals can be connected to

the COMPONENT 2 terminal If one of these video

signals is detected, the format of the input signal is displayed after the name of the current input termi-

nal, as in the following manner.

• A "No signal" message appears if there is no video

signal and there is no message currently displayed on the screen for volume adjustment or the setup

menu, etc. If there continues to be no video signal

for more than !0 seconds, "No signal" slowly moves
