against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

WARNING

Important Information

» Warnings and Safety Precautions

No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Please see the section “Plasma monitor cleaning procedure” on page 7.
The plasma display panel consists of ne picture elements (cells). There may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read carefully and observe the following instructions. To avoid shock and re
hazards:

1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit in a closed cabinet or
shelves. If you install the unit in an enclosure, make sure there is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape.
If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the
power to the monitor and unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a
cooler location, and wait for 60 minutes to cool the monitor. If the problem persists, contact your dealer for service.

2. Do not use this unit’s polarized plug with extension cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely inserted.

3. Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.

4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to modify the power cord.

5. Unplug the power cord during electrical storms or if the unit will not be used over a long period.

6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in this way the
warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.

7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. The manufacturer is not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified persons
attempt service or open the back cover. Refer all service to authorized Service Centers.

NOTE:
When you connect a computer to this monitor, use an RGB cable
including the ferrite core on both ends of the cable. And regarding
DVI and power cable, attach the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not
do this, the monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards.
Attaching the ferrite cores: Set the ferrite cores on both ends of
the DVI cable (not supplied), and both ends of the power cable
(supplied). Close the lid tightly until the clamps click. Use the
band to fasten the ferrite core (supplied) to the DVI cable.

» To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued
operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts AC will shorten
the life of the unit, and might even cause a re hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not drop.

3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal
objects. In case of accident, unplug the power cord and have it
serviced by an authorized Service Center.

5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes aws on
the surface of the screen.

6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended
to use a trained, authorized dealer.

7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a CRT
monitor, for example) light output will gradually decrease over
the life of a Plasma Display Panel.

8. To avoid sulfurization it is strongly recommended not to place
the unit in a dressing room in a public bath or hot spring bath.

6

Important Information

» Plasma monitor cleaning procedure:

1. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the front panel and bezel area.
Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean these
surfaces.

2. Clean plasma ventilation areas with a vacuum cleaner with a
soft brush nozzle attachment.

3. To ensure proper ventilation, cleaning of the ventilation areas
must be carried out monthly. More frequent cleaning may be
necessary depending on the environment in which the plasma
monitor is installed.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in:
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas plasma
displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to phosphor burn
under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such
as the continuous display of a static image over a prolonged
period of time, can result in phosphor burn if proper precautions
are not taken. To protect your investment in this plasma monitor,
please adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations
for minimizing the occurrence of image burn:

* Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver function
during use with a computer input source.

* Change the position of the menu display from time to time.

* Always power down the monitor when you are nished using
it.
If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous operation
take the following measures to reduce the likelihood of phosphor
burn:

* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as possible
without impairing image readability.

* Display an image with many colors and color gradations (i.e.
photographic or photo-realistic images).

* Create image content with minimal contrast between light and
dark areas, for example white characters on black backgrounds.
Use complementary or pastel color whenever possible.

* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct, sharply
dened borders between colors.

NOTE: BURN-INS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY

Contact your dealer for other recommended procedures that will
best suit your particular application needs.

* Display a moving image whenever possible.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Congratulations on your purchase of a Vidikron video product and
welcome to the Vidikron family! With proper installation, setup
and care, you should enjoy many years of unparalleled video
performance. This is a LIMITED WARRANTY as defined in the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Please read it carefully and retain it
with your other important documents.

WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY:

SERVICE LABOR: Vidikron will pay for service labor by a Vidikron
Authorized Service Center when needed as a result of manufacturing
defect for a period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery
to the end user.
PARTS: Vidikron will provide new or rebuilt replacement parts for
the parts that fail due to defects in materials or workmanship for a
period of one (1) year from the effective date of delivery to the end
user. Such replacement parts are then subsequently warranted for the
remaining portion (if any) of the original warranty period.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY:

Image burn-in on plasma display panels are specifically excluded
from coverage under this Limited Warranty. Image burn-in is the
result of misuse of the product and therefore cannot be repaired

burns on your plasma display panel, which can be seen permanently
under certain conditions once burn-in has occurred.

The types of images to avoid include video games, still images and
computer screens with stationary tool bars and icons. (This is why
computers are equipped with screen savers – to prevent still images
from burning into the monitor’s phosphors after being displayed
continuously for an extended period of time).

Normal viewing material such as television/satellite broadcasts,
videotape or DVDs (not put into pause for extended periods of time)
will not cause damage to your display under normal conditions.
Many DVD players are also equipped with screen savers for this
reason.

This Limited Warranty only covers failure due to defects in materials
and workmanship that occur during normal use and does not cover
normal maintenance. This Limited Warranty does not cover cabinets
or any appearance items; failure resulting from accident, misuse,
abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, faulty or improper
installation or setup adjustments; improper maintenance, alteration,
improper use of any input signal; damage due to lightning or power
line surges, spikes and brownouts; damage that occurs during
shipping or transit; or damage that is attributed to acts of God. In the
case of remote control units, damage resulting from leaking, old,

Limited Warranty

damaged or improper batteries is also excluded from coverage under
this Limited Warranty.

CAUTION: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS
VIDIKRON PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM VIDIKRON
AUTHORIZED DEALERS. ALL OTHER PRODUCTS ARE
SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. MOREOVER, DAMAGE
RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER
INSTALLATION OR SETUP IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED
FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

RIGHTS, LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS:

Vidikron limits its obligations under any implied warranties under
state laws to a period not to exceed the warranty period. There are no
express warranties. Vidikron also excludes any obligation on its part
for incidental or consequential damages related to the failure of this
product to function properly. Some states do not allow limitations
on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages.
So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights that vary from state to state.

EFFECTIVE WARRANTY DATE:

This warranty begins on the effective date of delivery to the end
user. For your convenience, keep the original bill of sale as evidence
of the purchase date.

IMPORTANT: WARRANTY REGISTRATION:

Please fill out and mail your warranty registration card. It is
imperative that Vidikron knows how to reach you promptly if we
should discover a safety problem or product update for which you
must be notified.

CONTACT A VIDIKRON AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER
TO OBTAIN SERVICE:

Repairs made under the terms of this Limited Warranty covering
your Vidikron video product will be performed at the location of the
product, during usual working hours, providing location of product
is within normal operating distance from a Vidikron Authorized

Installation

» Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your plasma
monitor will enable you to display your computer’s screen image
for an impressive presentation. The plasma monitor supports the
signals described on page 106.

To connect a PC, Macintosh or compatible graphics adapter,
simply:

1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and computer.

2. If your PC does not support SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA you
will need to install an SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics
board. Consult your computer’s owner’s manual for your SXGA/
XGA/SVGA/VGA conguration. If you need to install a new
board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board
for installation instructions.

3. This plasma monitor provides signal compatibility up to VESA
1600 x 1200 (UXGA). However, it is not recommended to use
this resolution due to image readability on the monitor’s native
pixel resolution panel.

4. Use the signal cable to connect your PC or Macintosh computer
to the plasma monitor. For Macintosh, use the monitor adapter to
connect to your computer’s video port, if necessary.

5. Turn on the plasma monitor and the computer.

6. If the plasma monitor goes blank after a period of inactivity, it
may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you’ve
connected to the plasma monitor.

When using a Macintosh with the plasma monitor, the
following four display standards are supported using the
Macintosh adapter:
13” fixed mode
16” fixed mode
19” fixed mode
21” fixed mode
The 13” fixed mode is recommended for your 42” Wide VGA.

Active Image Area

There are four aspect ratios available that can be selected for
video signal inputs.

When viewing videos or DVDs:

1. Press the ASPECT button on the remote control.

2. Within 3 seconds...
Press the ASPECT button again.
The screen size switches as follows:

LTR BOX STD (4:3) ANAMPHC INTELLIWIDE

LTR BOX mode

The image in the Letterbox mode will be zoomed in, and the top
and bottom portion ‘blanked off.’ This ratio is best suited for
LaserDisc movies or non-anamorphic DVD’s.

ASPECT RATIO CONTROLS

STD 4:3 mode

The input signal will be scaled to t in the center of the 16:9
screen.

ANAMPHC mode

The image is compressed vertically, but anamorphic software
will appear properly proportioned.
This is best suited for use with 16:9 DVD’s.

25

Aspect Ratio Controls

Active

Image

Area

INTELLIWIDE mode

This aspect ratio is designed to ll the 16:9 screen with a 4:3
image. The center of the picture is not stretched, and it gradually
stretches on the sides reaching the most extreme stretch at the far
edges of the picture. (non-linear scaling)
In addition, we apply a very slight vertical stretch uniformly (no
graduation) which results in a very small amount of cropping of
the top and bottom of the image area.
Thus a 4:3 image is transformed into a 16:9 image with minimal
distortion.

These specications cover the communications control of the
plasma monitor by external equipment.

Connections

Connections are made as described below.

Plasma Monitor External Equipment
e.g. Personal Computer

1) Connector on the plasma monitor side: EXTERNAL
CONTROL connector.

EXTERNAL CONTROLS

2) Connector on the external equipment side: Serial port
(RS-232C) connector.
See the specifications of the equipment that is to be connected
for the type of connector and the pin assignment.

3) Wiring

Use a crossed (reverse cable).

Wire the cable so that each pair of data lines cross between the
two devices. These data line pairs are RXD (Receive data) and
TXD (Transmit data), DTR (DTE side ready) and DSR (DCE side
ready), and RTS (Ready to send) and CTS (Clear to send).

If DTR (4) and DSR (6) are not available, these 2 pins can be
ignored. If RTS (7) and CTS (8) are not available, these 2 pins can
be tied together.

Type of connector: D-Sub 9-pin male

Command 1

Command 1, along with command 2, is a number used to
distinguish each command. In the case of ACK, when the lower
order 4 bits is FH (as in 3FH and 7FH), this indicates that the
commands and data of the supported equipment have been
received. When the lower order 4 bits is BH (as in 3BH and 7BH),
this indicates that unsupported commands and data have been
received.

Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2

Unit ID 1 and unit ID 2 are numbers used to identify the
equipment that is to be connected. 60H is used for the plasma
monitor and 80H is used for external control equipment such as a
personal computer.

1) Unit ID 1: Indicates the equipment sending the signal

2) Unit ID 2: Indicates the equipment receiving the signal

80

Command 2

Command 2, along with command 1, is a number used to
distinguish each command.

Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK

1) The check sum described below and RS-232C odd parity
are used together for a check of the received data. The check
sum is the lower order 8 bits of one frame of sent or received
data comprising the sum total of Command 1, Unit ID 1 and
2, Command 2, Data Length, and Data.

2) Error Processing
* When the communication interval is vacant for more than 4
ms, thereafter a received Command 1 will be recognized. If, at
this time, meaningful data cannot be recognized, that data will
not be recognized (as valid data).
* An ACK will not be returned unless the receive data error, the
check sum error, and the receive data are all taken in.
