Introduction

What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?

If voltage is applied to gas within glass panels, ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance. At that instant, light is emitted. APlasma Display is a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the display is clear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room.

Wide Screen

The screen of the Plasma Display is 42" so wide that your viewing experience is as if you are in a theater.

Multimedia

Connect your plasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picture feature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.

Versatile

The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs will not fit.

The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen

The PDP (Plasma Display Panel) which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few cell defects will normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process. Several minute colored dots visible on the screen should be acceptable. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products and the tiny dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is defective. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology is designed to minimize cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Monitor Out Setup

Connect the second TV or monitor to the TV’AV OUTPUT. See the Operating Manual of the second TV or monitor for further details regarding that device’s input settings.

Installation

NOTE: • Component, RGB-PC/DTV 480p/720p/1080i input

sources cannot be used for Monitor out.

PC Setup

- This TV provides Plug and Play capability, meaning that the PC adjusts automatically to its settings. The TV sends configuration information (EDID) to the PC using the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) Display Data Channel (DDC) protocol.

How to connect

1. To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to a 640x480, 60Hz.

2. Use the TV’s RGB INPUT or DVI (Digital Visual Interface) INPUT port for video connections, depending on your PC connector.

If the graphic card on the PC does not output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only one of both RGB INPUT or DVI

INPUT to display the PC on the TV. If the graphic card on the PC does output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, set the TV to either RGB or DVI; (the other mode is set to Plug and Play automatically by the TV.)

3. Then, make the corresponding audio connections. If using a sound card, adjust the PC sound as required.

How to use

1. Turn on the PC and the TV.

2. Turn on the display by pressing the POWER button on the TV's remote control.

3. Use the INPUT SELECT button on the remote control to select RGB or DVI.

4. Check the image on your TV. There may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in PC mode. If noise is present, change the PC mode to another resolution, change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of the PC graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult the manufacturer of the PC graphic card.

NOTES: • Depending on the graphics card, DOS mode may not

work if you use a DVI-I cable.

• Avoid keeping a fixed image on the TV's screen for a long period of time. The fixed image may become permanently imprinted on the screen. Use the Orbiter screen saver when possible.

• The synchronization input form for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies is separate.
