The plasma display's input panel provides various connections as a link to video sources (PAL, SECAM and NTSC) such as video cameras, DVD players and video recorders. · The Y/C input (S-Video) provides the analogue luminance and colour signals on separate lines. It is frequently utilised as a link to video cameras and DVD players. · The CVBS video input provides the luminance and colour signals on one line. It provides a cinch plug-and-socket connector which is a very reasonable and simple link, and is frequently utilised as a link to video recorders. · The SCART 1 video input provides the connection to CVBS, Y/C (S-Video) and RGB video inputs, a CVBS output for connecting a video recorder, and audio inputs & outputs. · The SCART 2 video input provides CVBS, Y/C (SVideo) video inputs, a CVBS output for connecting a video recorder, and audio inputs & outputs. · The RF tuner input with IEC jack links the display for connection of terrestrial antennas or cable channel systems. · The combined input DVI-I (analogue and digital) serves for the connection of high-resolution graphic card signals. · The RS232 control input for connecting a PC facilitates diagnosis in the event of servicing. · The OSD input menu enables you to select the desired video input. · The "ADJUSTMENT" menu enables you to set the configuration of inputs so that, for example, the same input is presented after turning on the display. 19 3.2 Connection to Compatible PC's are not sure about which jack the monitor is to be connected to, you can read more about this in either the graphics card or computer user manuals. In case of doubt, ask for details at your service department. Please use only the enclosed signal cable for connection. The plasma display is suitable for utilisation together with compatible computers. Your PC has one of the following configurations: · A built-in graphics adapter. · An installed graphics card. Both variations have one analogue and one digital video output jack for connection of a monitor. If you 20 For the connection of your monitor to the system, proceed as follows: 1. Turn off the power supply to the computer and the display. 2. In case it is necessary, install a graphics card according to the directions in the graphics card user manual. Make sure that the graphics card utilised generates a video format that lies within the limits which are stated in the specifications (VGA, XGA). 3. Connect the signal cable to the display's signal input (DVI-I), and to your computer's corresponding video jack (15-pin mini D-DUB) or DVI. Attention: Falsely connected signal cables can lead to irregularities in monitor operation, a poor image quality or damage to the display, and shorten service life as a result. 7. You can store frequently used formats as user formats. The display recognises these formats, and immediately presents them in correct fashion without execution of the auto-adjust function. 8. Finish the adjustment of your display by actuating the following listed OSD function, which is found in the "INPUTS ADJUSTMENT" menu: "USER FORMATS". 9. The DDC compatibility ensures that the utilised graphics card only generates video formats within the limits stated in the specifications. 10. Many graphics cards offer formats with 848 x 480 screen resolution in 16:9 format. The utilisation of this resolution is recommended for optimal display presentation. Reference: With some inconvenient PC formats, the H/V position and image size have to possibly be manually adjusted for ending the alignment with the geometric adjustments in this menu. The "AUTO-ADJUST" function is extremely dependent on the image presentation. The presentation of a white frame or a grid cross is well-suited. Should problems arise during connection of the display, please read Chapter 6: "Maintenance (Maintenance and Repairs), use the description of the individual OSD functions, or contact your service site. 4. Connect the supplied mains cable on one side with the display, and on the other side with a grounded wall socket. 5. Turn on the display and the computer, and select an appropriate input (PC/RGB or PC/DVI). 6. During the first utilisation of an analogue video format (RGB). The plasma display always automatically executes the auto-adjust function. During this period the display image "shuttles about" in order to attain the optimal position and playback. 3.3 Operating Modes PC mode For optimal image reproduction, we recommend the 848 x 480, 640 x 480 or 720 x 400 pixel resolutions. The 848 x 480 pixel resolution corresponds to the display matrix, and offers the best image reproduction. You can obtain the driver for this resolution on the Internet pages of most of the well-known manufacturers of graphics cards. In contrast to applications with CRT monitors, with flat displays it is not necessary to select a high image refresh for a flicker-free presentation. A refresh of 60Hz is recommended. Video recorder mode The utilisation of Y/C (S-Video) or SCART 2 inputs (see fig. page 18) is recommended for enhancement of image quality - if your recorder offers playback in Y/C (S-Video) format. DVD player mode The application of the RGB operating mode, which can be connected to the SCART 1 input, is recommended for optimal utilisation. In case your player does not offer this operating mode, please use the Y/C (S-Video) signal mode (see fig. page 18). Operating mode at the beginning of utilisation The operating mode of the technology applied recommends the viewing of predominately motion images or at least the constant alternation of still frame images for the first 100 hours. Image sticking The manufacturer would like to point out to you that during lengthy viewing of freeze pictures (e.g. PC playback), the image is still slightly visible in the full mask for a few minutes during the subsequent playback of a different source. This is known as "image sticking". This "vanishing" residual image is caused by the system, and does not represent a flaw. Therefore it cannot be considered as a case for warranty claim. Video cable A high-quality 75 coaxial cable should be utilised for the connection of the video signal. Poor quality signal cable can result in strong disturbances and formation of shadows in the displayed image, as well as exceeding the permissible EMC level. The mechanical interlocks of the individual plug-and-socket connectors are necessary for perfect and safe operation of the device. 21 !

With the help of the following descriptions you can select the most suitable mode which are indicated by the mode of operation of the display modes. The user zoom can also be utilised with PC signals. 39 4:3 mode This mode presents a PAL 4:3 image in correct aspect ratio. Dark streaks are visible on the right and left margin of the image. PAL 4:3 images with 576 lines are converted into 480 visible lines and 640 visible pixels. Video NLS (Non Linear Scaling) This mode scales the input signal "fit-to-screen" in a horizontal and vertical direction as well as in a nonlinear fashion; i.e., the image contents are illustrated in the middle of the screen like the original, and a stronger scaling takes place on the margin. Full Screen (Fit-to-Screen) This mode enlarges or reduces input formats in horizontal and vertical direction so that the image is always presented as "fit-to-screen". Auto (Automatic) This mode automatically scales the input signal in a horizontal and vertical direction on a fit-to-screen display. It recognises 4:3, Cinescope and 16:9 movie material, and scales the material with the predetermined factors. Video 16:9 mode This mode presents a PAL 4:3 image in such a fashion that no dark streaks are visible on the right and left margin of the image. PAL 4:3 images are converted into 852 visible pixels. As a result of the scaling in the horizontal direction, a portion of the 576 lines is not symmetrically presented on the upper and lower margin of the image. ZOOM The manual conversion from the 4:3 mode into the Zoom mode stretches the image in a vertical and horizontal direction by ca. 20% by means of the Full Screen presentation. As a result, the black streaks on the lower and upper margin of the image, which appear in 4:3 format in the presentation of Cinescope movies, are reduced to a minimum or disappear entirely. USER ZOOM MODE The user mode zoom enables a reduction or an enlargement of the image size in a vertical and horizontal direction. The Set Up range varies from 40% to 140% of the original image size. 6.0 Error Analysis and Possible Recovery 40 ERROR Complete display failure, although the mains plug is inserted and the device is turned on with the mains switch and remote control.

We ensure that all parts are recycled in an adequate manner, or will be brought to a waste disposal site for the protection of our environment. Please contact our service department for more extensive information. 7. Technical Specifications 7.1 Product Attributes The colour plasma display complies with the following specifications, when · the power supply lies within the specified range, · the display has been in operation for at least 30 minutes, · the timing, video input and the display size are specified as follows. Where no other information is effected, all details in these technical specifications have been measured in accordance with the VESA Standard Display Specifications and Test Procedures. · OSD and IR remote control Clearly coherent and well-designed menus and the operation of the IR remote control make the operation of the diverse input sources as easy as child's play. The following menus are available for you: Info, Sound, Image, Display, Inputs and Settings. The most important functions such as channel switching, format switching, switching of TV / VGA mode and volume are provided directly on the remote control. · Audio equaliser In addition to volume and balance control, 5 OSD slide controls (120 Hz, 500 Hz, 1.5 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz) for sound influence are available to you. · Multisync VGA display The multisync technology enables operation on different PC formats ­ from VGA to XGA, up to a maximum clock frequency of 95 MHz. The autoadjust function and the parameter storage ensure that adjustment on a new format is easy, and that a format which has been adjusted once is automatically recognised and optimally presented in the best image quality when turning on the device the next time. · Digital comb filter In order to increase the horizontal resolution in a standing, vertical line structure, the mixed signals for the colour and black-and-white image must be separated. The digital comb filter provides the desired signal separation through the multiple filtering. A clear separation enhances the horizontal resolution in the presentation of vertical structures, and guarantees clear colour transitions even in the presentation of high-resolution images. · 8-bit digital signal processing The digital signal processing functions with 8 bits per colour. This resolution guarantees precise playback without loss of information or colour. The result is a natural image with fine details and 256 grey scales. · Adjustable audio inputs and outputs The volume level of the audio output is adjustable in the "Sound" menu. · Gamma correction The non-linear gamma correction increases the number of perceptible grey scales, and prevents image saturation in the upper range. · Colour temperature control Individual colour temperature control guarantees precise colour rendition. · Stand-by The display can be switched to stand-by mode per infrared remote control, which reduces the power consumption to only 5 W. When it is activated, the stand-by mode is indicated by a brightly glowing red LED on the front side of the device. · Multistandard TV tuner The multistandard TV tuner (PAL/SECAM) receives signals from terrestrial antennas or from a cable network. The input frequency range varies from 47 to 861 MHz. You can also connect your satellite receiver output here or on the SCART input. · Teletext system The videotext system offers brand-new information and new developments concerning sports events, weather forecasts and politics. · Progressive scan through de-interlacing Digital signal processing transforms the received fields into pictures by means of internal deinterlacing, and thus achieves precise image presentation on a 16:9 display screen. The switching between 50 Hz and 60 Hz optimises rapid motion sequences and reduces the image flickers in the presentation of very bright images. 43 7.2 SCREEN 44 · · · · · · · Size: 42" - 106cm Format: 16:9 Presentable image size: 920 mm (horizontal) x 518 mm (vertical) Elimination of reflections: Finely etched filter screens Transmission: 52 % Angle of viewing: > 160° Contrast ratio: 700 : 1 (dark room) typ. 7.8 · · · · · VIDEO STANDARDS Video: PAL/SECAM/NTSC TV tuner: PAL/SECAM 47 MHz to 861 MHz: VHF/UHF/HYPERBAND for terrestrial antennas or cable networks PALplus, Cinescope: Automatic format recognition Format presentations: 4:3, 16:9, Zoom, User Zoom (40% - 140%), Fit-to-Screen, Non Linear, Auto 7.9 · · VIDEO/PC INPUTS Mains connection: IEC plug-and-socket connector TV tuner input: IEC plug-and-socket connector, 75 input resistance SCART inputs: RGB(1), CVBS "On", CVBS "Off", Audio On/Off CVBS input: Cinch (RCA plug) 1Vss @ 75 input resistance Y/C (S-Video) input: Mini DIN (HOSIDEN) Y: 1Vss @ 75 input resistance C: 0.3Vss (PAL), 0.286Vss (SECAM) @ 75 input resistance VGA/SVGA/WVGA/XGA: DVI-I (DDWG) 7.3 · RESOLUTION Resolution: 852 x 480 pixels · · 7.4 · COLOUR DISPLAY Colour display: 16.7 million simultaneous colours · 7.5 · OPERATION Control elements: Mains switch, IR remote control, On-ScreenDisplay, automatic and manual tuning system with automatic channel storage, 99 channel slots · 7.10 AUDIO · · · · Stereo inputs: 3 x Cinch, 1Vrms (CVBS, Y/C, PC) Stereo inputs: 2 x SCART, 1Vrms Stereo line output: 1 x Cinch, adjustable Stereo LS output: 1 x Cinch, 7 W sine @ 4 , 20 Hz ­ 20 kHz 7.6 · PC FREQUENCY RANGE Horizontal 30 kHz ­ 80 kHz vertical 50 Hz ­ 85 Hz clock frequency 95 MHz max.
