WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PROD-
UCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
The explanation about colored dots may be present on PDP screen
The PDP which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells and a few cell
defects can occur in the manufacture of the PDP. Several colored dots visible on the screen would be
acceptable, in line with other PDP manufacturers and would not mean that the PDP is faulty. We hope you
will understand that the product which corresponds to this standard is regarded as acceptable. It means
that it could not be changed or refunded.
We promise that we'll do our best to develop our technology to minimize the cell defects.
The explanation about noise of 60" PDP
In the same way that a fan is used in a PC to keep the CPU cool, the PDP is equipped with cooling fans to
improve the reliability of this product. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur when the fan is oper-
ated. This noise doesn't have any negative effect on its efficiency and liability and it's also determined to
have no difficulty while using this product. The noise from the fans is normal in the operation of this prod-
uct. We hope you will understand that a certain level of noise is acceptable. It means that it is not change-
able nor refundable.

- As shown below, when connecting the Monitor to a VCR, match the colors of AV input
jacks on the Monitor with the output jacks on the VCR: Video = yellow, Audio (Left) =
white, Audio (Right) = red.
- If you have a mono VCR, connect the audio cable from the VCR to the AUDIO(L/MONO)
input of the Plasma Monitor.
- If you connect an S-VIDEO VCR to the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is improved,
compared to connecting a regular VCR to the Video input.
- Avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of time. A frozen still
picture from a VCR (or if a CH label is displayed) displayed on the screen for prolonged
periods will result in an image ghost remaining even when you change the image. Avoid
prolonged display of a still image.

* Use a null modem cable.
Wire the 7-Wire cable so that each pair of data lines cross between the two devices. These data line pairs
are RXD (Receive data) and TXD (Transmit data), DTR (DTE side ready) and DSR (DCE side ready), and
RTS (Ready to send) and CTS (Clear to send).
When using the 3-Wire cable connected to RXD, TXD and GND; Pin No. 4 (DTR) and Pin No. 6 (DSR)
must be connected to the monitor. (The cable must be disconnected from the Monitor to be able to use the
remote control and Monitor front panel controls.)
* With the RS-232 input connected, the Monitor cannot be controlled by both an external control device and
the remote control at the same time. The Monitor can only be controlled by either the remote control or the
external control device.

7-Wire Cable Configuration
• The Monitor is available to switch between external
adjustment and remote control adjustment using a
control line.
Note: If the control line is high, the monitor is con-
trolled by the external control device. If the control
line is low, the Monitor is controlled by the Monitor's
remote control.
3-Wire Cable Configuration
• When using a 3-Wire cable configuration there is no
control line. The external control device must put the
Monitor into the "change into remote control adjust-
ment mode" (see page 54). The Monitor will then be
able to be controlled by the remote control. If the
Monitor is turned back on, it will revert back to exter-
nal device control.

Maintenance
Cleaning the screen
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 Monitor.
Cleaning the cabinet
To remove dirt or dust, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
Please be sure not to use a wet cloth.
Extended absence
If you leave your Monitor 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 malfunction can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of
time you will have with your new Monitor. Be sure to turn the power off and unplug the
power cord before you begin any cleaning.
