Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important safety instructions shall be provided with each apparatus. This information shall be given in a separate booklet or
sheet, or be located before any operating instructions in an instruction for installation for use and supplied with the appara-
tus. This information shall be given in a language acceptable to the country where the apparatus is intended to be used. The
important safety instructions shall be entitled “Important Safety Instructions”. The following safety instructions shall be includ-
ed where applicable, and, when used, shall be verbatim as follows. Additional safety information may be included by adding
statements after the end of the following safety instruction list. At the manufacturer’s option, a picture or drawing that illus-
trates the intent of a specific safety instruction may be placed immediately adjacent to that safety instruction :
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampli-
fiers)that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong, The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.

Safety Instructions
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 damaged
in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the apparatus, the apparatus has exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that
is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no
additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of
this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged
wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or
cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could
result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your
appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced
with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being
twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay
particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the
cord exits the appliance.
16. Outdoor Use Marking :
WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire Or Electric Shock, Do Not Expose This Appliance To Rain Or Moisture.

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 phos-
phors 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 TVs 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 defec-
tive. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology mini-
mizes these 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 PDP 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 operat-
ing and cooling the PDP.
The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is normal 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 suffi-
cient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.

How to connect
1. To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to 1024x768, 60Hz.
2. Use the TV’s RGB INPUT or HDMI/DVI (Digital Visual Interface) INPUT port for video connections, depending on your PC con-
nector.
• If the graphic card on the PC does not output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only one of either 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 HDMI/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. Select RGB-PC or HDMI/DVI input source in main input option of SETUP menu. (Refer to P.59)
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 HDMI to DVI 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.
