Owner's Manual 5 Introduction Introduction What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)? A plasma display panel is the latest display technology and the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent image quality and large screen sizes that are easily viewable. The PDP can be thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and it can be also be viewed as a series of fluorescent lamps. How does it work? PDP is an array of cells, known as pixels, which are comprised of 3 sub pixels, corresponding to the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to produce colored light (red, green, or blue). These phosphors are the same types used in Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions and common computer monitors. You get the rich, dynamic colors that you expect. Each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced electronics to produce over 16 million different colors. All of this means that you get perfect images that are easily viewable in a display that is less than 5 inches thick. 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 who can see the screen. Wide Screen The screen of the Plasma Display is 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 monitors will not fit. The PDP Manufacturing Process: a few 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 tiny, minute colored dots visible on the screen should be acceptable. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products. 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 minimizes these cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product. 6 Plasma Monitor Introduction Accessories Ensure that the following accessories are included with your plasma display. If an accessory is missing, please contact the dealer where you purchased the product.

If using a sound card, adjust the PC sound as AUDIO REMOTE CONTROL RGB OUTPUT RS-232C INPUT (CONTROL/SERVICE) HDMI/ DVI(VIDEO) AUDIO INPUT RGB INPUT VARIABLE AUDIO OUT How to use 1. Turn on the PC and the set. 2. Turn on the display by pressing the POWER button on the set's remote control. 3. Use INPUT or MULTIMEDIA on the remote control to select RGB or HDMI source. 4. Check the image on your set. 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. Note: -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 output to another resolution, change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the VIDEO 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. -When you use too long RGB-PC cable, there might be a noise on the screen. We recommend using under 5m of the cable. It provides the best picture quality. Notes: - Depending on the graphics card, DOS mode may not work if a HDMI to DVI Cable is in use. - Avoid keeping a fixed image on the screen for a long period of time. The fixed image may become permanently imprinted on the screen. Use the Orbiter feature on the ISM Method menu. - When Source Devices connected with HDMI/DVI Input, output PC Resolution(VGA, XGA), Position and Size may not fit the Screen. - When Source Devices connected with HDMI/DVI Input, output TV SET Resolution(480p, 720p, 1080i) and SET Display fit EIA/CEA-861-B Specification to Screen.
