Colored dots on the screen
A PDP (Plasma Display Panel), depending on its size, contains from 0.9 to 2.2 million individual
cells. Even with advanced technology it is inevitable that a few defective cells may be found in
the PDP. These defective cells may be visible as colored dots. We continually strive to minimize
the number of defective cells but the existence of a few such defects will not be considered as
sufficient reason for exchange or refund.
Earth wire should be connected.
- If the earth wire is not connected, there is possible a danger of electric shock caused by the
current leakage.
-If grounding methods are not possible, a separate circuit breaker should be employed and
installed by a qualified electrician.
-Do not connect ground to telephone wires, lightning rods or gas pipe.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
Power supply cord/appliance coupler is used as the main disconnect device, and as
such shall be easily accessible after installation.

Monitor Installation
Tip
;
;
;
- It is recommended that this product only be used at an altitude of less than 6562 feet
(2000m) to get the best quality picture and sound.
- This plasma display is designed to be mounted horizontally (wide viewing).
- Your P42W22, P42W22B models (Monitor) can be installed on a wall as shown below,
or on a desktop pedestal as shown on the next page. Wall mount and stands are
optional, and are not supplied with the monitor.

VCR Setup
Tip

(R) AUDIO (L) VIDEO
- As shown below, when connecting the Monitor to a VCR, match the colors of AV input
jacks on the Monitor with the output jacks on the VCR: Video = yellow, Audio (Left) =
white, Audio (Right) = red.
- If you have a mono VCR, connect the audio cable from the VCR to the AUDIO (L/MONO)
input on the Plasma Monitor.
- If you connect an S-VIDEO VCR to the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is improved,
compared to connecting a regular VCR to the Video input.
- Avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of time. A frozen still
picture from a VCR (or if a CH label is displayed) displayed on the screen for prolonged
periods will result in an image ghost remaining even when you change the image. Avoid
prolonged display of a still image.
