Safety Instructions
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been dam-
aged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is dam-

Introduction
Features Of This Monitor
Features Of This Monitor
What is a Plasma Monitor ?
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. A Plasma 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 71" 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 would
not fit.
The Plasma Monitor Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the Plasma
Monitor screen
The 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 Plasma Monitor manufacturing process. Several minute colored dots visible on the screen should be accept-
able. This also occurs in other Plasma Monitor manufacturers' products and the tiny dots appearing does not mean that this
Plasma Monitor is defective. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the Plasma Monitor to be exchanged or returned.
Our production technology is designed to minimize cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.
Cooling Fan Noise
In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the Plasma Monitor is
equipped with cooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur while the
fans are operating and cooling the Plasma Monitor.
The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the Plasma Monitor's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is nor-
mal during the operation of this product. We hope you understand that a certain level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable
and is not sufficient cause for the Plasma Monitor to be exchanged or returned.

- To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and monitor.
- Use the ISM Method (on the Special menu) feature to avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of
time. Typically a frozen still picture from a VCR. If the 4:3 picture format is used; the fixed images on the sides of the screen
may remain visible on the screen.
Connection Option
1. Connect the audio and video cables from the VCR's output
jacks to the set input jacks, as shown in the figure.
When connecting the set to VCR, match the jack colors
(Video = yellow, Audio Left = white, and Audio Right = red).
If you connect an S-VIDEO output from VCR to the S-VIDEO
input, the picture quality is improved; compared to connect-
ing a regular VCR to the Video input.
2. Insert a video tape into the VCR and press PLAY on the
VCR. (Refer to the VCR owner’s manual.)
3. Select the input source with using the INPUT button on the
remote control.
Do not connect to both Video and S-
Video at the same time. In the event
that you connect both Video and the
S-Video cables, only the S-Video will
work.

Installation
How to connect
1. To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to a 1600x1200, 60Hz.
2. Use the monitor’s RGB INPUT or HDMI IN 1(DVI) 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 either RGB IN or
HDMI IN 1(DVI) to display the PC on the monitor.
If the graphic card on the PC does output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, set the monitor to either RGB or HDMI1/DVI;
(the other mode is set to Plug and Play automatically by the monitor.)
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 monitor.
2. Turn on the display by pressing the POWER button on the monitor's remote control.
3. Use the INPUT button on the remote control to select RGB or HDMI/DVI.
4. Check the image on your monitor. 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: • Avoid keeping a fixed image on the monitor's screen for a long period of time. The fixed image may become perma-
nently imprinted on the screen. Use the Orbiter screen saver when possible.
• The synchronization input form for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies is separate.

- This monitor provides Plug and Play capability, meaning that the PC adjusts automatically to its settings. The monitor sends
configuration information (EDID) to the PC using the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) Display Data Channel
(DDC) protocol.
- The monitor perceives 640x480, 60Hz as DTV 480p based on the PC graphic card. In this case, change the screen scanning
rate for the graphic card.

Troubleshooting Checklist
1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water
and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe
the screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your TV.
To remove dirt or dust, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
Please do not use a wet cloth.
If you expect to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to
unplug the power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges.
- Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will have
your new TV. Be sure to turn the power off and unplug the power cord before you begin any cleaning.
