Important Information
Warnings and Safety Precaution
This plasma monitor is designed and
manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service.
No maintenance other than cleaning is required.
Please see the section Plasma monitor cleaning
procedure on the next page.
The plasma display panel consists of fine picture
elements (cells) with more than 99.99 percent active
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 fire 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 units 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.
background
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 fire 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
flaws 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.
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 computers screen saver
function during use with a computer input source.
* Display a moving image whenever possible.
* Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
* Always power down the monitor when you are finished
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 defined borders between colors.
*
Note:
Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
Contact your dealer for other recommended procedures that
will best suit your particular application needs.

Mises en garde et précautions de
sécurité
Ce moniteur à plasma a été conçu et fabriqué pour
une utilisation fiable et durable. Il ne nécessite aucun
entretien en dehors du nettoyage. Voir la section
Méthode de nettoyage du moniteur à plasma plus loin.
Le panneau à affichage plasma est constitué de fines
particules dimages (cellules) dont plus de 99,99%sont
actives. Certaines dentre elles ne produisent pas de
lumière ou restent allumées.
Pour des raisons de sécurité et pour éviter
dendommager lappareil, lire attentivement les
instructions suivantes.
Pour éviter les risques d’éléctrocution et dincendie:
1. Laisser suffisament despace autour de lappareil pour
la ventilation et éviter toute augmentation excessive de
la température interne. Ne pas couvrir les évents ou
linstaller dans un endroit trop exigu.
Si vous installez lappareil dans un espace clos,
assurezvous quil y ait suffisamment despace au dessus
pour permettre à lair chaud de s’élever et de s’évacuer.
Si la température du moniteur devient excessive, la
protection contre les surchauffes entrera en action et
coupera lalimentation. Dans ce cas, éteindre lappareil
et débrancher le câble dalimentation. Si la température
de la pièce dans laquelle se trouve le moniteur est
particulièrement élevée, déplacer celui-ci dans un endroit
plus frais et attendre environ 60 minutes quil refroidisse.
Si le problème persiste, prendre contact avec votre
revendeur.
2. Ne pas raccorder la prise dalimentation polarisée de ce
périphérique à une rallonge ou une prise murale si les
fiches ne peuvent pas être complètement insérées.
3. Ne pas exposer à Leau ou à lhumidité.
4. Eviter dendommager le cordon dalimentation, et ne pas
modifier le cordon dalimentation.
5. Débrancher le câble dalimentation électrique pendant les
orages ou les longues périodes dinactivité.
6. Ne pas ouvrir le coffret. Des composants de haute
tension se trouvent à lintérieur. Si lappareil est
endommagé de cette manière, la garantie devient
caduque. De plus, il y a risque d’électrocution.
7. Ne pas essayer dintervenir ou de réparer lappareil. Le
fabricant décline toute responsabilité en cas de blessure
corporelle ou de dégâts matériels résultant dune opération
dentretien quelconque effectuée par des personnes non
qualifiées ou résultant de louverture du couvercle arrière.
Sadresser aux services après-vente autorisés.
Recommandations importantes
background
Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de
service de lappareil:
1. Nutiliser quune source dalimentation de 120 V 50/
60 Hz CA. Le fait dutiliser lappareil en continu à des
tensions de ligne supérieures à 120 Volts CA réduit sa
durée de vie et risque de provoquer un incendie.
2. Manipuler lappareil avec soin pendant son
déplacement et ne pas le faire tomber.
3. Eloigner lappareil des endroits chauds, très poussiéreux
et exposés en plein soleil.
4. Eviter que des liquides et des petits objets métalliques
pénètrent à lintérieur de lappareil. En cas dincident de
ce genre, débrancher le câble dalimentation électrique
et confier le moniteur à un service après-vente agréé.
5. Ne pas frapper ou rayer la surface de la écran plasma,
car des défauts risquent de se produire sur la surface
de la écran plasma.
6. Pour un montage et une installation correcte, il est
fortement recommandé de faire appel à un revendeur
agréé et qualifié.
7. Comme cest le cas pour tout affichage à base de
phosphore (comme un moniteur CRT, par exemple), la
puissance de lumière baisse graduellement au cours de
la vie du Panneau dAffichage à Plasma.
8. Pour éviter tout risque de sulfuration, il est fortement
conseillé de ne pas installer lappareil dans un vestiaire,
un bain public ou un bain de source thermale.
Méthode de nettoyage du moniteur à plasma:
1. Nettoyer le panneau avant et le cadre en procédant à laide
dun chiffon doux et sec. Ne jamais utiliser de solvents
du type alcool ou diluant pour le nettoyage de ces surfaces.
2. Nettoyer les prises daération du plasma en procédant à
laide dune brosse à poils doux fixée à un aspirateur.
3. Pour garantir la bonne ventilation du moniteur, nettoyer
les prises dair tous les mois. Un nettoyage plus fréquent
peut savérer nécessaire selon les conditions
environnantes dans lesquelles le moniteur à plasma est
utilisé.
Pour éviter les risques de brûlage du luminophore, les
mesures suivantes sont recommandées:
Comme tous les périphériques daffichage à base luminophore
et tous les autres affichages gaz plasma, les moniteurs plasma
peuvent être sujets au brûlage du luminophore dans certaines
circonstances. Certaines conditions dutilisation, telles que
laffichage continu dune image statique pour une durée
prolongée, peuvent causer le brûlage du luminophore si
aucune précaution nest prise. Pour protéger votre
investissement dans ce moniteur à plasma, veuillez suivre
les directives et les conseils suivantes pour minimiser
loccurence le marquage de l’écran:
Assurez-vous de mettre en marche et dutliser
l’économisateur d’écran chaque fois que cest possible
lorsque vous lutilisez avec une source dentrée
dordinateur.
Affichez une image en mouvement aussi souvent que
possible.
Changer la position de laffichage de menu de temps à autre.
Coupez toujours lalimentation lorsque vous avez terminé
dutiliser la moniteur.
Si le moniteur est en usage continu ou longue durée, prenez
les mesures suivantes afin d’éviter loccurence le brûlage
du luminophore:
Abaissez le niveau de limage (contraste, luminosité)
autant que possible, sans faire perdre la lisibilité de
limage.
Affichez une image avec de nombreuses couleurs et
graduations de couleur (par ex. des images
photographiques ou photo-réalistes).
Créez un contenu dimage avec un contraste minimal
entre les zones sombres et les zones claires, par exemple,
des caractères blancs sur un fond noir. Utilisez des
couleurs complémentaires ou pastels le plus souvent
possible.
•Évitez dafficher des images avec peu de couleurs et des
limites nettes et clairement définies entre les couleurs.
*
Remarque:
Le brûlage de l’écran nest pas couvert
par la garantie.
Contactez un revendeur agréé ou un revendeur de marque
pour d'autres procédures qui conviendront le mieux à vos
besoins particuliers.

Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your plasma
monitor will enable you to display your computers screen
image for an impressive presentation. The plasma monitor
supports the signals described on page 7 of Model
Information.
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 computers owners manual
for your SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA configuration. 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 16001200 (UXGA). However, it is not
recommended to use this resolution due to image
readability on the monitors 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 computers 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
youve 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 19" fixed mode is recommended for your monitor.
Connections with Equipment that
have a Digital Interface
Connections can be made with equipment that is equipped
with a digital interface compliant with the DVI (Digital
Visual Interface) standard.
* Use a DVI 24-pin signal cable and the ferrite cores
(supplied) when making connections to the RGB3 (DVI)
connector of the main unit.
Note that the RGB3 (DVI) terminal does not support analog
RGB input source.
Note:
1. Input TMDS signals conforming to DVI standards.
The TMDS input corresponds to 1 link.
2. To maintain display quality, use a cable with a quality
prescribed by DVI standards that is within 5 meters in length.
Connecting Your Document Camera
You can connect your plasma monitor to a document
camera. To do so, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and
document camera.
2. Use a standard video cable to connect your document
camera to the Video input on your plasma monitor.
3. Turn on the plasma monitor and the document camera.
Note:
Refer to your document camera owners manual
for more information about your camera’s video output
requirements.
Connecting Your VCR or Laser Disc
Player
Use common RCA cables (not provided) to connect your
VCR or laser disc player to your plasma monitor. To make
these connections, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and VCR
or laser disc player.
2. Connect one end of your RCA cable to the video output
connector on the back of your VCR or laser disc player,
connect the other end to the Video input on your plasma
monitor. Use standard RCA audio patch cords to
connect the audio from your VCR or laser disc player
to your plasma monitor (if your VCR or laser disc player
has this capability). Be careful to keep your right and
left channel connections correct for stereo sound.
3. Turn on the plasma monitor and the VCR or laser disc
player.
Note:
Refer to your VCR or laser disc player owners
manual for more information about your equipment’s video
output requirements.
Connecting Your DVD Player
You can connect your plasma monitor to a DVD player.
To do so, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and DVD
player.
2. Use a component video cable to connect your DVD
player to the Y, Cb, and Cr inputs on your plasma
monitor.
Or use the DVD-players S-Video output. Use a
standard S-Video cable to connect to the S-Video input
on the plasma monitor.
3. Turn on the plasma monitor and the DVD player.

Note:
1. The VIDEO1 and RGB1 terminals can be used for either INPUT or OUTPUT.
When LOOP OUT is ON, do not connect an OUTPUT signal from another unit, that will place an extraordinary load on
the other unit and may damage it.
2. LOOP OUT can not be turned ON while signals are input to RGB1 terminal.
3. LOOP OUT can be turned ON while signals are input to RGB1 terminal if the POWER is switched ON.
Information
To loop signals out to another plasma display, set the LOOP OUT to ON.
To create a video wall, set the VIDEO WALL menu items properly.
To connect monitors, please use a 1~2m (3.3~6.6 feet) BNC cable (any commercially available cable).
If the image quality is poor, do not use the monitors out terminal. Use a distribution amplifier (any commercially
available distribution amplifier) to connect the split signals to the respective monitor INPUT terminals.
Being used as a video wall function, maximaly 4-screen is rough-standard with lower than 1024768, 60Hz
signal.
A distribution amplifier is particularly recommended when using a 9-screen video wall.
From the second monitor onward, connections require a BNC-RCA conversion cable or connector, a mini D-Sub
15 pin cable-BNC (5) cable or a conversion connector.
Creating a video wall
With buit-in matrix display capability, you can create a 2×2 or 3×3 video wall.
